AI总结:

本研究提出利用JWST和Roman的星系成团性测量区分平均紫外辐射增强与随机性增强,以破解高红移UVLF中的光度—随机性简并。

摘要:

高红移星系紫外光度函数(UVLF)已成为理解首批星系形成与演化的关键工具。然而,UVLF仅测量星系丰度,从而在平均星系光度与其随机性之间产生简并。本文表明,即将由James Webb Space Telescope(JWST)以及Roman开展的成团性测量将能够破解这一简并,即使在红移$z \gtrsim 10$时也是如此。首先,我们证明,当前Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam(HSC)在$z\sim4-6$处对星系偏置的测量指向一种相对紧密的晕—星系连接,且随机性较低。随后,我们表明,JWST在$z\gtrsim10$处观测到的更大UVLF既可以用增强的平均紫外辐射解释,也可以用增强的随机性解释。不过,这两种模型预测出不同的星系偏置,因而有可能在JWST和Roman巡天中加以区分。因此,星系成团性测量将为理解首批星系与其暗物质晕之间的联系提供关键洞见,并识别JWST运行首年所揭示的$z\gtrsim10$星系丰度增强的根本原因。

英文摘要:

The high-redshift galaxy UV luminosity function (UVLF) has become essential for understanding the formation and evolution of the first galaxies. Yet, UVLFs only measure galaxy abundances, giving rise to a degeneracy between the mean galaxy luminosity and its stochasticity. Here, we show that upcoming clustering measurements with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as well as with Roman, will be able to break this degeneracy, even at redshifts $z \gtrsim 10$. First, we demonstrate that current Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) measurements of the galaxy bias at $z\sim 4-6$ point to a relatively tight halo-galaxy connection, with low stochasticity. Then, we show that the larger UVLFs observed by JWST at $z\gtrsim 10$ can be explained with either a boosted average UV emission or an enhanced stochasticity. These two models, however, predict different galaxy biases, which are potentially distinguishable in JWST and Roman surveys. Galaxy-clustering measurements, therefore, will provide crucial insights into the connection between the first galaxies and their dark-matter halos, and identify the root cause of the enhanced abundance of $z \gtrsim 10$ galaxies revealed with JWST during its first year of operations.
