JADES与CEERS巡天中高红移活动星系核的射电辐射

Radio Emission from High-Redshift Active Galactic Nuclei in the JADES and CEERS Surveys

AI总结:

本文估算了JADES、CEERS和UNCOVER巡天发现的19个高红移活动星系核的射电流量密度,指出ngVLA可在10-100小时内探测到大多数源,而SKA大多需至少100小时,并强调近红外与射电望远镜协同研究超大质量黑洞的潜力。

摘要:

近期计算表明,红移 z ~ 6 - 7 的类星体的射电辐射可以在演化更早的阶段,即 z ~ 14 - 15,被下一代甚大阵列(ngVLA)和平方公里阵列(SKA)探测到。然而,詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(James Webb Space Telescope)目前已经发现了红移 z > 4 处光度较低的活动星系核(AGNs)以及少数位于 z > 10 的大质量黑洞(BHs),它们可能是超大质量黑洞(SMBHs)的前身,但处于不同的增长阶段。对这些新发现的活动星系核进行射电探测将为其性质及其宿主星系的性质提供互补的测量手段。在此,我们估算了由 JADES、CEERS 和 UNCOVER 巡天发现的 19 个新活动星系核的射电流量密度。我们发现,ngVLA 应能在积分时间为 10 - 100 小时的目标巡天中探测到其中大多数源(其中少数源仅需 1 小时),但尽管 SKA 在低频具有更高的灵敏度,大多数源仍需要至少 100 小时的 SKA 观测时间。在某些情况下,来自黑洞的射电辐射可以与其宿主星系中 H II 区和超新星的射电辐射区分开来,这可用于估算其恒星形成率。此类探测将成为未来十年近红外望远镜与射电望远镜在超大质量黑洞科学研究中富有成效的协同作用的又一例证。

英文摘要:

Recent calculations indicate that radio emission from quasars at $z \sim$ 6 - 7 could be detected at much earlier stages of evolution, at $z \sim$ 14 - 15, by the Next-Generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) and the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). However, the {\em James Webb Space Telescope} has now discovered less luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at $z >$ 4 and a few massive black holes (BHs) at $z >$ 10, which may be the progenitors of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) but at different stages of growth. Radio detections of these new AGNs would provide complementary measures of their properties and those of their host galaxies. Here we estimate radio flux densities for 19 new AGNs found by the JADES, CEERS and UNCOVER surveys. We find that ngVLA should be able to detect most of these sources in targeted surveys with integration times of 10 - 100 hr (and in just 1 hr for a few of them) but most would require at least 100 hr of SKA time in spite of its greater sensitivities at low frequencies. In some cases, radio emission from the BH can be distinguished from that of H II regions and supernovae in their host galaxies, which could be used to estimate their star formation rates. Such detections would be yet another example of the useful synergies between near infrared and radio telescopes in SMBH science in the coming decade.
