AI总结:

本研究利用JWST的NIRCam WFSS和NIRSpec测量了155个z>2星系的发射线,发现[OIII]/Hb等比率与红移、恒星质量和SFR存在相关性,且与低金属丰度和高电离度模型一致。

摘要:

我们使用詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜近红外相机宽场无缝光谱(NIRCam WFSS)和近红外光谱仪(NIRSpec)在宇宙演化早期释放巡天(CEERS)中测量了155个z>2星系的静止系光学发射线。盲测NIRCam光栅观测包含了具有明亮发射线且未被NIRSpec掩模观测的星系样本。我们通过与较低红移的SDSS和CLEAR样本进行比较,研究了Ha、[OIII]/Hb和[NeIII]/[OII]发射线随红移的变化。我们发现[OIII]/Hb与红移存在显著(>3σ)相关性,而[NeIII]/[OII]与红移存在边际(2σ)相关性。我们将[OIII]/Hb和[NeIII]/[OII]与恒星质量和Hb SFR进行了比较。我们发现这两种发射线比率均与Hb SFR相关,且在0<z<9的红移范围内与恒星质量呈反相关。与MAPPINGS V模型的比较表明,这些趋势与低质量和高SFR星系中较低的金属丰度和较高的电离度相一致。我们额外与IllustriousTNG预测进行了比较,发现它们能有效描述我们样本中观测到的最高[OIII]/Hb比率,而无需调用具有显著激波电离分量的MAPPINGS模型。

英文摘要:

We use James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy (NIRCam WFSS) and Near-Infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release survey (CEERS) to measure rest-frame optical emission-line of 155 galaxies at z>2. The blind NIRCam grism observations include a sample of galaxies with bright emission lines that were not observed on the NIRSpec masks. We study the changes of the Ha, [OIII]/Hb, and [NeIII]/[OII] emission lines in terms of redshift by comparing to lower redshift SDSS and CLEAR samples. We find a significant (>3$σ$) correlation between [OIII]/Hb with redshift, while [NeIII]/[OII] has a marginal (2$σ$) correlation with redshift. We compare [OIII]/Hb and [NeIII]/[OII] to stellar mass and Hb SFR. We find that both emission-line ratios have a correlation with Hb SFR and an anti-correlation with stellar mass across the redshifts 0<z<9. Comparison with MAPPINGS~V models indicates that these trends are consistent with lower metallicity and higher ionization in low-mass and high-SFR galaxies. We additionally compare to IllustriousTNG predictions and find that they effectively describe the highest [OIII]/Hb ratios observed in our sample, without the need to invoke MAPPINGS models with significant shock ionizionation components.
