AI总结:

本研究通过109个尘埃恒星形成星系样本,发现尘埃发射率指数β在红移2至6间基本不变(中值1.96),且β与尘埃温度呈反相关,表明尘埃性质变化源于内在差异。

摘要:

尘埃发射率指数 $β$ 在星系内部及星系之间的变化,是尘埃化学和物理性质在大尺度上必然存在差异的证据,尽管这些物理和/或化学变化的本质仍属未知。本文对 $2 < z < 6$ 范围内的109个尘埃恒星形成星系(DSFGs)样本估算了 $β$ 值和尘埃温度。我们比较了光学薄模型和一般不透明度模型所得结果,发现两种模型对 $β$ 的估计相似,但对尘埃温度的估计则不同。我们未发现 $β$ 随红移变化的证据,光学薄模型下 $β$ 的中值为 1.96,总体置信区间(16%–84%)为 1.67 至 2.35。利用模拟,我们评估了测量误差,并表明总体中 $β$ 的变化源于 DSFGs 中尘埃性质的内在差异。在固定远红外光度下,我们未发现尘埃温度 $T_\ extrm{dust}$ 随红移变化的证据。在考虑相关测量误差的影响后,我们发现 DSFGs 中 $β$ 与 $T_\ extrm{dust}$ 呈反相关,这一现象在低红移星系中也有证据。

英文摘要:

Variations in the dust emissivity index, $β$, within and between galaxies, are evidence that the chemistry and physics of dust must vary on large scales, although the nature of the physical and/or chemical variations is still unknown. In this paper we estimate values of $β$ and dust temperature for a sample of 109 dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) over the range, $2 < z < 6$. We compare the results obtained with both an optically-thin model and a general opacity model, finding that our estimates of $β$ are similar between the models but our estimates of dust temperature are not. We find no evidence of a change in $β$ with redshift, with a median value of $β= 1.96$ for the optically-thin model with a confidence interval (16 - 84%) of 1.67 to 2.35 for the population. Using simulations, we estimate the measurement errors from our procedure and show that the variation of $β$ in the population results from intrinsic variations in the properties of the dust in DSFGs. At a fixed far-infrared luminosity, we find no evidence for a change in dust temperature, $T_\textrm{dust}$, with redshift. After allowing for the effects of correlated measurement errors, we find an inverse correlation between $β$ and $T_\textrm{dust}$ in DSFGs, for which there is also evidence in low-redshift galaxies.
