利用 JWST COSMOS-Web 场中 366 个 F115W dropout 星系,通过光度红移概率密度加权计算超密度,在 z~9-10 搜寻到七个原星系团候选体,其暗物质晕质量约 10^11 太阳质量,为宇宙学模拟提供关键检验。

摘要:

高红移原星系团对于理解星系团的形成以及致密环境中星系的演化至关重要。詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)凭借其前所未有的近红外灵敏度,首次实现了对 z>10 以外原星系团的探索。在 JWST 巡天中,COSMOS-Web 数据发布 0.5 提供了约 0.27 平方度的最大天区面积,使其成为搜寻原星系团的最佳场。在本研究中,我们利用 366 个 F115W dropout 星系搜寻了 z~9-10 的原星系团。我们通过 JADES DR3 光谱样本的验证测试评估了光度红移的可靠性,得到将闯入者误认为真实成员的似然约为 25%。超密度(δ)通过用星系的光度红移概率密度函数(PDF)加权星系位置来计算,使用 2.5 cMpc 的孔径和 ±0.5 的红移切片。我们选取了超密度大于 366 个 F115W dropout 星系分布第 95 百分位的最有前景的原星系团候选星系的核心星系。随后,成员星系在 7.5 cMpc 的角分离范围内与核心星系连接,找到了七个原星系团候选体。这七个原星系团候选体的推断暗物质晕质量约为 M_halo ~ 10^11 M_sun。在这些红移处探测到这样的超密度为当前的宇宙学模拟提供了关键检验。然而,确认这些候选体并将其与低红移尘埃恒星形成星系或巴尔默跃变星系区分开来,将需要后续的近红外光谱观测。

英文摘要:

High-redshift protoclusters are crucial for understanding the formation of galaxy clusters and the evolution of galaxies in dense environments. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), with its unprecedented near-infrared sensitivity, enables the first exploration of protoclusters beyond $z>$10. Among JWST surveys, COSMOS-Web Data Release 0.5 offers the largest area $\sim$0.27 deg$^2$, making it an optimal field for protocluster searches. In this study, we searched for protoclusters at $z\sim$9-10 using 366 F115W dropout galaxies. We evaluated the reliability of our photometric redshift by validation tests with the JADES DR3 spectroscopic sample, obtaining the likelihood of falsely identifying interlopers as $\sim25\%$. Overdensities ($δ$) are computed by weighting galaxy positions with their photometric redshift probability density functions (PDF), using a 2.5 cMpc aperture and a redshift slice of $\pm$0.5. We selected the most promising core galaxies of protocluster candidate galaxies with an overdensity greater than the 95th percentile of the distribution of 366 F115W dropout galaxies. The member galaxies are then linked within an angular separation of 7.5 cMpc to the core galaxies, finding seven protocluster candidates. These seven protocluster candidates have inferred halo masses of $M_{\text{halo}} \sim 10^{11} M_{\odot}$. The detection of such overdensities at these redshifts provides a critical test for current cosmological simulations. However, confirming these candidates and distinguishing them from low-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies or Balmer-break galaxies will require follow-up near-infrared spectroscopic observations.
