AI总结:

本研究利用MIRI深空巡天的NIRCam平行场深度观测,探测8<z<13的紫外亮度函数,发现其演化温和且恒星形成率密度增长比模型预测更慢,揭示了早期宇宙星系形成的异常高效率。

摘要:

我们展示了基于与HUDF的MIRI深空巡天(MDS)平行进行的深度NIRCam观测所推导出的8<z<13紫外亮度函数及宇宙恒星形成率密度估计,NIRCam覆盖了平行场2(HUDF-P2)。我们深度(40小时)的NIRCam观测达到F277W星等30.8(5σ),比已用于寻找高红移星系的JWST公开数据集深2个星等以上。我们基于星系候选体在F115W和/或F150W滤波器中的dropout特性、使用三种不同代码估计的光度红shift在z>8的高概率、基于χ^2计算的优良拟合以及相较于z<8替代方案的主导解,选出了44个z>8星系候选体样本。我们发现从z~13到z~8亮度函数存在温和演化,即平均数密度仅有~0.2 dex的小幅增加,而暗端斜率和拐点绝对星等保持近似恒定,值分别为α=-2.2±0.1和M*=-20.8±0.2 mag。将我们的结果与最先进的星系演化模型预测进行比较,发现了两个主要结果:(1)宇宙恒星形成率密度随时间的增长比模型预测的陡峭上升更为缓慢;(2)在宇宙最初350 Myr(z~12)期间,恒星质量约10^8 M⊙的星系中,集中在约2 kpc尺度上的恒星形成活动高出近10倍,而模型在约150 Myr后(z~9)能更好地匹配亮度密度的观测估计。

英文摘要:

We present the ultraviolet luminosity function and an estimate of the cosmic star formation rate density at $8<z<13$ derived from deep NIRCam observations taken in parallel with the MIRI Deep Survey (MDS) of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), NIRCam covering the parallel field 2 (HUDF-P2). Our deep (40 hours) NIRCam observations reach a F277W magnitude of 30.8 ($5σ$), more than 2 magnitudes deeper than JWST public datasets already analyzed to find high redshift galaxies. We select a sample of 44 $z>8$ galaxy candidates based on their dropout nature in the F115W and/or F150W filters, a high probability for their photometric redshifts, estimated with three different codes, being at $z>8$, good fits based on $χ^2$ calculations, and predominant solutions compared to $z<8$ alternatives. We find mild evolution in the luminosity function from $z\sim13$ to $z\sim8$, i.e., only a small increase in the average number density of $\sim$0.2 dex, while the faint-end slope and absolute magnitude of the knee remain approximately constant, with values $α=-2.2\pm0.1$ and $M^*=-20.8\pm0.2$ mag. Comparing our results with the predictions of state-of-the-art galaxy evolution models, we find two main results: (1) a slower increase with time in the cosmic star formation rate density compared to a steeper rise predicted by models; (2) nearly a factor of 10 higher star formation activity concentrated in scales around 2 kpc in galaxies with stellar masses $\sim10^8$ M$_\odot$ during the first 350 Myr of the Universe, $z\sim12$, with models matching better the luminosity density observational estimations $\sim$150 Myr later, by $z\sim9$.
