本研究利用 JWST/NIRCam 与 ALMA 观测32个 $z\sim1.5$ 大质量主序星系,通过核球—盘—团块形态建模量化团块的恒星形成、质量、尺寸及位置,揭示其多尺度层级结构。

摘要:

恒星形成团块已被发现会显著影响富含气体的 $z>1$ 星系的恒星形成。我们利用来自 JWST/NIRCam(COSMOS-Web)和 ALMA(FMOS-COSMOS)的公开数据,研究了一个包含32个位于 $z_{\rm spec}\sim1.5$、质量巨大($>10^{10.5}\\,\rm M_{\odot}$)的主序星系样本,分辨率约为 $0.3\\,\rm kpc$。我们创建了由核球、盘和团块组成的复合形态学模型,以完全“解构”星系图像。利用由此得到的这些组分的流量和尺寸测量结果,我们发现:(I)团块的合计贡献占宿主星系净恒星形成率(SFR)的 $1-30\\%$,同时贡献其恒星质量的 $1-20\\%$。这些团块在其恒星质量与SFR之间表现出相关性,但相对于恒星形成主序具有更高的比恒星形成率(sSFR),偏移范围为 $0\lesssimΔ\log\rm sSFR\lesssim 0.4$。其恒星形成面密度为 $10^{-2}-10^{2}\\,\rm M_{\odot}/yr/kpc^{2}$,与在近邻恒星形成星系和星暴星系中观测到的值一致。(II)团块跨越很大的特征尺寸范围($r_{e}\sim0.1-1\\,\rm kpc$)和恒星质量范围($\sim 10^{8.0-9.5}\\,\rm M_{\odot}$)。我们估计了质量—尺寸关系($r_{e}\propto\rm M_{\star}^{\\,0.52\pm0.07}$)以及恒星质量函数(斜率 $α=-1.85\pm 0.19$),两者都表明其具有类似于近邻星系中恒星形成区所预期的层级性质。(III)我们的测量结果与 $z\gtrsim1$ 透镜系统中恒星团块的性质相符,通过在亚千秒差距尺度上探测结构,弥合了透镜研究与非透镜研究之间的差距。(IV)发现团块优先位于主要在静止系近红外残差图像中可见的旋臂结构沿线。总之,我们提出了一幅基于观测的、关于 $z>1$ 恒星形成团块的连贯图景。

英文摘要:

Star-forming clumps have been found to significantly influence the star formation of gas-rich $z>1$ galaxies. Using public data from JWST/NIRCam (COSMOS-Web) and ALMA (FMOS-COSMOS), we study a sample of 32 massive ($>10^{10.5}\,\rm M_{\odot}$) main-sequence galaxies at $z_{\rm spec}\sim1.5$ with $\sim0.3\,\rm kpc$ resolution. We create composite morphological models consisting of bulge, disk, and clumps to fully 'deconstruct' the galaxy images. With the resulting measurements of the flux and size of these components, we find the following: (I)The combined contribution of clumps is $1-30\%$ towards the net star formation rate (SFR) of the host while contributing $1-20\%$ to its stellar mass. The clumps show a correlation between their stellar mass and SFR, but have an increased specific-SFR (sSFR) relative to the star-forming main sequence, with offsets ranging from $0\lesssimΔ\log\rm sSFR\lesssim 0.4$. They feature star formation surface densities of $10^{-2}-10^{2}\,\rm M_{\odot}/yr/kpc^{2}$, consistent with values observed in local star-forming and starburst galaxies. (II)The clumps span a large range of characteristic sizes ($r_{e}\sim0.1-1\,\rm kpc$) and stellar masses ($\sim 10^{8.0-9.5}\,\rm M_{\odot}$). We estimate a mass-size relation ($r_{e}\propto\rm M_{\star}^{\,0.52\pm0.07}$) along with a stellar mass function (slope, $α=-1.85\pm 0.19$), both suggesting a hierarchical nature similar to that expected in star-forming regions in local galaxies. (III)Our measurements agree with the properties of stellar clumps in $z\gtrsim1$ lensed systems, bridging the gap between lensed and unlensed studies by detecting structures at sub-kpc scales.(IV)Clumps are found to be preferentially located along spiral features visible primarily in the residual rest-frame near-IR images. In conclusion, we present an observation-based, coherent picture of star-forming clumps at $z>1$.
