本文利用JWST/NIRCam F405N窄带成像在z=2.16蜘蛛网原星系团中搜寻Pa$β$发射线天体,发现41个候选体并推导其Pa$β$光度函数,为原星系团成员证认和恒星形成研究提供新约束。

摘要:

我们报告了利用JWST近红外相机(NIRCam)对一个原星系团进行Pa$β$窄带成像的初步结果。由于NIRCam能够对$z>1$处静止坐标系近红外谱线进行深度窄带成像,我们以一个被研究得最为充分的原星系团之一——位于$z=2.16$的蜘蛛网原星系团——作为观测目标,此前研究已在该原星系团中确认了一百多个成员星系。NIRCam F405N窄带滤光片在Pa$β$谱线处覆盖了由已知原星系团成员给出的原星系团红移,从而允许搜寻新的成员候选体。经权重校正的颜色-星等图得到57个呈现窄带超出的源,其中41个满足进一步的颜色选择标准,从而将样本限定为$z\sim2.16$处的Pa$β$发射线天体候选体,其中24个没有H$α$发射线天体对应体。Pa$β$发射线天体候选体似乎遵循已知原星系团成员的空间分布;但仍需后续光谱证认。在58个已知的H$α$发射线星系团成员中,仅有17个在当前数据中被选为Pa$β$发射线天体,其余成员则因其Pa$β$等值宽度较小而落在窄带选择之外。我们推导了蜘蛛网原星系团中的Pa$β$光度函数,显示在特征Pa$β$光度$\log{L^\ast}=42.33\pm0.17$处,归一化密度为$\log{ϕ^\ast}=-2.53\pm0.15$。此外,我们检验了探测仅在窄带图像中可见的暗弱谱线发射天体的可能性,但未发现具有前景的候选体。

英文摘要:

We report the initial result of our Pa$β$ narrowband imaging on a protocluster with the JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). As NIRCam enables deep narrowband imaging of rest-frame NIR lines at $z>1$, we target one of the most studied protoclusters, the Spiderweb protocluster at $z=2.16$, in which previous studies have confirmed more than a hundred member galaxies. The NIRCam F405N narrowband filter covers in Pa$β$ line the protocluster redshift given by known protocluster members, allowing the search for new member candidates. The weight-corrected color-magnitude diagram obtained 57 sources showing narrowband excesses, 41 of which satisfy further color selection criteria for limiting the sample to Pa$β$ emitter candidates at $z\sim2.16$, and 24 of them do not have H$α$ emitter counterparts. The Pa$β$ emitter candidates appear to follow the spatial distribution of known protocluster members; however, follow-up spectroscopic confirmation is required. Only 17 out of 58 known H$α$-emitting cluster members are selected as Pa$β$ emitters in the current data, albeit the rest fall out of the narrowband selection owing to their small Pa$β$ equivalent widths. We derive Pa$β$ luminosity function in the Spiderweb protocluster, showing a normalization density of $\log{ϕ^\ast}=-2.53\pm0.15$ at a characteristic Pa$β$ luminosity of $\log{L^\ast}=42.33\pm0.17$. Furthermore, we examine the possibility of detecting faint line emitters visible only in the narrow-band image, but find no promising candidates.
