摘要:

借助詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜(JWST)的波长覆盖范围、灵敏度与高空间分辨率,如今我们得以穿透尘埃消光,探测宇宙正午(红移z~1-3)时期极端尘埃遮蔽星系的静止近红外(NIR)辐射与恒星结构。本文利用阿贝尔2744天区的阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米波阵(ALMA)与JWST/哈勃空间望远镜(HST)联合观测数据,研究了11个红移z~0.9-3.5的亚毫米(sub-mm)探测星系的0.5-4.4μm多波段结构,这些星系的亮度低于明亮的“经典”亚毫米星系(SMGs),其中7个在深度X射线数据中被探测到。尽管这些天体展现出多样的结构与尺寸,但所有天体在更长波长下都显得更小、更集中。在X射线探测到的天体中,仅有2个存在明显的活动星系核(AGN)流量贡献的证据(在≳2μm波段)。排除2个由AGN主导的天体后,更长波长下的更小尺寸表明,其被认为示踪恒星质量分布的静止近红外光轮廓,比光学轮廓更致密。亚毫米探测结果与可见的尘埃带表明,中心集中的尘埃是观测到的颜色梯度的关键驱动因素。此外,我们发现越集中的星系往往具有更低的尺寸比(静止近红外与光学尺寸之比);这意味着光分布最致密的星系,其尘埃也最集中。这9个天体的1.2毫米流量密度与尺寸比表明,总尘埃量与尘埃几何形态都会影响这些星系的多波段结构。即将到来的更高分辨率1.2毫米ALMA成像将推动联合空间分辨分析,并将直接检验这一具有代表性的亚毫米星系族群内部的尘埃分布。

英文摘要:

With the wavelength coverage, sensitivity, and high spatial resolution of JWST, it is now possible to peer through the dust attenuation to probe the rest-frame near infrared (NIR) and stellar structures of extremely dusty galaxies at cosmic noon (z~1-3). In this paper we leverage the combined ALMA and JWST/HST coverage in Abell 2744 to study the multiwavelength (0.5-4.4$μ$m) structures of 11 sub-millimeter (sub-mm) detected galaxies at z~0.9-3.5 that are fainter than bright "classical" sub-mm galaxies (SMGs); 7 of which are detected in deep X-ray data. While these objects reveal a diversity of structures and sizes, all are smaller and more concentrated towards longer wavelengths. Of the X-ray-detected objects, only two show evidence for appreciable AGN flux contributions (at ${\gtrsim}$2$μ$m). Excluding the two AGN-dominated objects, the smaller long wavelength sizes indicate that their rest-frame NIR light profiles, inferred to trace their stellar mass profiles, are more compact than their optical profiles. The sub-mm detections and visible dust lanes suggest centrally-concentrated dust is a key driver of the observed color gradients. Further, we find that more concentrated galaxies tend to have lower size ratios (rest-frame NIR to optical); this suggests that the galaxies with the most compact light distributions also have the most concentrated dust. The 1.2mm flux densities and size ratios of these 9 objects suggest that both total dust quantity and geometry impact these galaxies' multiwavelength structures. Upcoming higher resolution 1.2mm ALMA imaging will facilitate joint spatially-resolved analysis and will directly test the dust distributions within this representative sub-mm population.
