AI总结:

本文通过ALMA和JWST观测研究z=14明亮星系JADES-GS-z14-0,测定其红移、金属丰度、电离光子逃逸分数及低气体分数,揭示早期星系中辐射反馈对气体清除和电离光子逃逸的重要作用。

摘要:

JADES-GS-z14-0是目前已光谱证认的最遥远星系,位于$z>14$。其紫外星等为-20.81,是宇宙黎明期最明亮的星系之一,其半光半径为260 pc,表明恒星主导了观测到的紫外辐射。我们报告ALMA探测到[OIII]88$\mu$m谱线发射,显著性为6.67$\sigma$,频率为223.524 GHz,对应红移$14.1796\pm0.0007$,与NIRSpec光谱中探测到的候选CIII]谱线一致。在该光谱红移下,NIRSpec识别的Lyman-$\alpha$断裂需要一个阻尼Lyman-$\alpha$吸收体,其柱密度为$\log(N_{\rm HI}/\mathrm{cm}^{-2})=21.96$。总的[O\\,{\sc iii}]88$\mu$m光度(log$(L_{\rm [OIII]}/L_\odot) = 8.3\pm 0.1$)完全符合局域$L_{\rm [OIII]}-SFR$关系,并表明气相金属丰度$>0.1~{\rm Z_{\rm \odot}}$。利用\texttt{prospector}进行SED建模,并将ALMA数据与JWST观测相结合,我们发现$Z=0.17~{\rm Z_{\rm \odot}}$以及非零的电离光子逃逸分数($\sim11\\%$),这是代码为了重现紫外光谱所必需的。我们测得${\rm [O III]}5007$Å/[O III]88$\mu$m谱线流量比在1到20之间,在假设单云光致电离模型的情况下,得到电子密度上限约为700 cm$^{-3}$。[OIII]88$\mu$m发射线在光谱上被分辨,其FWHM为100 km/s,由此得到动力学质量log($M_{\rm dyn}/M_\odot$) = 9.0$\pm0.2$。与恒星质量相比,该值代表气体质量分数的保守上限,其范围在50%到80%之间,具体取决于所假设的恒星形成历史。过去的辐射驱动外流可能已经清除了星系中的气体,降低了气体分数,从而提高了电离光子的逃逸分数。

英文摘要:

JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant spectroscopically confirmed galaxy yet, at $z>14$. With a UV magnitude of -20.81, it is one of the most luminous galaxies at cosmic dawn and its half-light radius of 260 pc means that stars dominate the observed UV emission. We report ALMA detection of [OIII]88$μ$m line emission with a significance of 6.67$σ$ and at a frequency of 223.524~GHz, corresponding to a redshift of $14.1796\pm0.0007$, which is consistent with the candidate CIII] line detected in the NIRSpec spectrum. At this spectroscopic redshift, the Lyman-$α$ break identified with NIRSpec requires a damped Lyman-$α$ absorber with a column density of $\log(N_{\rm HI}/\mathrm{cm}^{-2})=21.96$. The total [O\,{\sc iii}]88$μ$m luminosity (log$(L_{\rm [OIII]}/L_\odot) = 8.3\pm 0.1$) is fully consistent with the local $L_{\rm [OIII]}-SFR$ relation and indicating a gas-phase metallicity $>0.1~{\rm Z_{\rm \odot}}$. Using \texttt{prospector} SED modeling and combining the ALMA data with JWST observations, we find $Z=0.17~{\rm Z_{\rm \odot}}$ and a non-zero escape fraction of ionizing photons ($\sim11\%$), which is necessary by the code to reproduce the UV spectrum. We measure an ${\rm [O III]}5007$Å/[O III]88$μ$m line flux ratio between 1 and 20, resulting in an upper limit to the electron density of roughly 700 cm$^{-3}$ assuming a single-cloud photoionization model. The [OIIII]88$μ$m emission line is spectrally resolved, with a FWHM of 100 km/s, resulting in a dynamical mass of log($M_{\rm dyn}/M_\odot$) = 9.0$\pm0.2$. When compared to the stellar mass, this value represents a conservative upper limit on the gas mass fraction, which ranges from 50\% to 80\%, depending on the assumed star formation history. Past radiation-driven outflows may have cleared the galaxy from the gas, reducing the gas fraction and thus increasing the escape fraction of ionizing photons.
