摘要:

低质量或矮星系(M* < 10^9 M☉)在宇宙中普遍存在,但其形成和演化仍缺乏深入理解。它们对恒星形成和活动星系核(AGN)反馈的敏感性使其成为测试宇宙学模拟中反馈预设是否能准确再现其星际介质(ISM)性质的绝佳实验室。我们呈现了COSMOS-Web调查中九个矮星系在红移z < 0.08处的JWST/NIRCam和MIRI成像,这些星系的恒星形成率范围为0.003-0.3 M☉ yr⁻¹,恒星质量为log M* ≈ 8-9 M☉。NIRCam和MIRI的探测率均为100%,表明这些矮星系具有显著的ISM含量。探测样本包括大约相等比例的早型和晚型矮星系,表明其代表低密度环境中的广泛矮星系群体。我们发现观测到的MIRI流量分布与TNG50中质量匹配的模拟星系的前向模型流量分布相当。我们进一步进行了多波段形态学分析,结合JWST NIRCam和MIRI成像与存档的HST/ACS数据,采用CAS(浓度、不对称性、平滑度)框架。在多波段图像中,MIRI表现出最大的CAS参数变化,这可能是由于某些星系中的尘埃带和团块,这也由光谱能量分布(SED)拟合所支持。这表明这些系统的尘埃含量可能高于仅由静止框架光学或近红外观测所暗示的水平。即将进行的紫外/光学和中红外光谱后续研究对于约束低密度环境如COSMOS中的矮星系气体动力学和尘埃颗粒性质至关重要。

英文摘要:

Low-mass or dwarf galaxies (M$_{\ast}<10^{9}$ M${\odot}$) are abundant in the Universe, yet their formation and evolution remain poorly understood. Their enhanced sensitivity to feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei (AGN) make them excellent laboratories to test whether feedback prescriptions in cosmological simulations accurately reproduce their interstellar medium (ISM) properties. We present JWST/NIRCam and MIRI imaging of nine dwarf galaxies from COSMOS-Web survey at redshift $z<0.08$, with star formation rates ranging from 0.003-0.3 M${\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and stellar masses of log M$_{\ast}\sim8-9$ M$_{\odot}$. The detection rate with both NIRCam and MIRI is 100\%, indicating that these dwarfs possess substantial ISM content. The detected sample includes a roughly equal mix of early-type and late-type dwarfs, suggesting that it is representative of the broader dwarf galaxy population in low-density environments. We find that the observed MIRI flux distributions are comparable to forward-modelled flux distributions of mass-matched simulated galaxies in TNG50. We further conduct a multi-wavelength morphological analysis complementing the JWST NIRCam and MIRI imaging with archival HST/ACS data, employing the CAS (concentration, asymmetry, smoothness) framework. Among the multi-wavelength images, MIRI exhibits the largest variation in CAS parameters, likely due to dust lanes and clumps in several galaxies, also suggested by Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting. This suggests that the dust content in these systems may be higher than those implied by rest-frame optical or near-infrared observations alone. Upcoming UV/optical and mid-infrared spectroscopic follow-up will be critical for constraining the gas kinematics and dust grain properties of dwarf galaxies in low-density environments such as COSMOS.
