摘要:

理解星系在积分和空间分辨尺度上的尘埃消光对于准确确定星系的物理性质至关重要。最近利用ALMA和JWST进行的高空间分辨率观测使得研究高红移星系($z \gtrsim 6$)的空间分辨性质成为可能,但尘埃可观测量的空间变化仍然缺乏约束。我们使用宇宙学zoom-in模拟结合后处理尘埃辐射传输计算,研究了376个在$z=6$-$9$、恒星质量$M_* \gtrsim 10^9 \\, M_\odot$的团块星系。对于每个系统,我们研究了三个组分的尘埃消光和再发射性质:系统积分、单个团块和弥散区域。我们发现,即使假设MW型或SMC型尘埃,系统积分的消光曲线也比Calzetti曲线更灰。单个团块的消光曲线甚至更灰,而弥散区域由于在光学薄环境中散射增强而表现出更陡的曲线。由于消光曲线中光学深度和尘埃-恒星几何的内在简并性,我们引入了一个基于IRX-$\Delta\beta$平面的玩具模型,其中$\Delta\beta$表示消光后的紫外斜率与内禀紫外斜率之差。应用这一框架,我们发现团块的尘埃柱密度比系统积分值高大约一个数量级,并表现出共位或尘埃延展的几何结构。相比之下,系统积分消光反映了由光学薄弥散区域贡献主导的恒星延展几何。我们将这一框架应用于$z \sim 7$的REBELS-IFU星系,发现与我们的模拟预测吻合良好。

英文摘要:

Understanding dust attenuation in galaxies at both integrated and spatially resolved scales is fundamental for accurately determining the physical properties of galaxies. Recent high-spatial-resolution observations with ALMA and JWST enable investigations of spatially resolved properties in high-redshift galaxies ($z \gtrsim 6$), but spatial variations in dust observables remain poorly constrained. We use cosmological zoom-in simulations combined with post-processing dust radiative transfer calculations for 376 clumpy galaxies at $z=6$-$9$ with stellar masses of $M_* \gtrsim 10^9 \, M_\odot$. For each system, we investigate dust attenuation and re-emission properties for three components: system-integrated, individual clumps, and diffuse regions. We find that system-integrated attenuation curves are grayer than the Calzetti curve, even when assuming MW- or SMC-type dust. Attenuation curves of individual clumps are even grayer, while diffuse regions exhibit steeper curves owing to enhanced scattering in optically thin environments. Since the effects of optical depth and dust-star geometry are intrinsically degenerate in attenuation curves, we introduce a toy model based on the IRX-$Δβ$ plane, where $Δβ$ denotes the difference between attenuated and intrinsic UV slopes. Applying this framework, we find that clumps have dust column densities approximately an order of magnitude higher than system-integrated values and exhibit co-spatial or dust-extended geometries. In contrast, system-integrated attenuation reflects star-extended geometries driven by contributions from optically thin diffuse regions. We apply this framework to REBELS-IFU galaxies at $z \sim 7$ and find good agreement with our simulation predictions.
