摘要:

我们利用JWST/NIRSpec在近红外波段(2-4μm)对48个红移较高(z=2.53±1.32)的星系进行了详细研究,这些星系通过ALMA在>3σ水平上被检测到。通过多波段SED分析,我们确定该样本的恒星质量中位数为log10(M*/M⊙)=10.8±0.1,尘埃质量为log10(Md/M⊙)=8.7±0.1,覆盖了广泛的远红外辐射功率范围(log10(LFIR/L⊙)=10.9-12.7)。大多数源没有显示出活动星系核(AGN)的迹象,40%的源有X射线对应体(LXc>10^42 erg/s)、光学线比升高或宽(FWHM>800 km/s)的Hα谱线,尽管我们注意到这只是一个下限,因为NIRSpec狭缝的位置是随机的。我们确定该样本的气体相金属licity中位数为12+log(O/H)=8.71±0.02,根据[NII]/Hα比值得出,其中最远红外辐射功率高的星系(log10(LFIR/L⊙)>12)比基本金属licity关系高0.15±0.03dex。通过[SII]发射线双峰比值,我们测量了电子密度中位数为log10(ne/cm−3)=2.53±0.07,与同一时期的低质量恒星形成星系一致。对于九个具有[OII]和Hβ检测的星系(中位数log10(LFIR/L⊙)=11.81±0.15),我们得出观测(尘埃未校正)的电离参数中位数为log10(U)=-2.84±0.06。我们的结果表明,远红外辐射功率高的星系是质量大、化学演化系统的,似乎偏离了在不被遮挡的星系中观察到的标准尘埃和金属生产平衡。本研究展示了JWST和ALMA在揭示DSFGs性质方面的协同作用,并强调了对均匀选择的、质量大、尘埃遮蔽的星系进行NIRSpec调查的必要性,以完全表征其星际介质。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed study of near-infrared (2-4$\rm μ$m) JWST/NIRSpec spectra of 48 high-redshift ($z=2.53^{+1.32}_{-0.70}$) galaxies detected with ALMA at $>3σ$. From a multi-wavelength SED analysis we establish the sample has a a median stellar mass of $\rm\log_{10}(M_\ast/M_\odot)=10.8\pm0.1$ and dust mass of $\rm\log_{10}(M_{\rm d}/M_\odot)=8.7\pm0.1$, covering a broad range of far-infrared luminosity $\rm (\log_{10}(L_{FIR}/L_\odot)=10.9-12.7)$. The majority of sources show no signs of AGN activity, with 40% having either X-ray counterparts $(\rm L_{Xc}>10^{42}erg/s)$, elevated optical line ratios, or broad (FWHM>800 km/s) H$α$ profiles, although we note this is a lower limit due to the stochastic placement of NIRSpec slits. We establish the sample has a median gas-phase metallicity of $12+\log({\rm O/H})=8.71\pm0.02$, as derived from the [NII]/H$α$ ratio, with the most FIR-luminous galaxies ($\rm\log_{10}(L_{\rm FIR}/L_\odot)>12$) falling $0.15\pm0.03$dex above the fundamental metallicity relation. From the [SII] emission-line doublet ratio, we measure a median electron density of $\log_{10}(n_{\rm e}/{\rm cm}^{-3})=2.53\pm0.07$ consistent with less-massive, star-forming, galaxies at the same epoch. For nine galaxies with [OII] and H$β$ detections (median $\rm\log_{10}(L_{\rm FIR}/L_\odot)=11.81\pm0.15$), we derive a median observed (dust-uncorrected) ionisation parameter of $\rm\log_{10}(U)=-2.84\pm0.06$. Our results indicate that luminous far-infrared galaxies are massive, chemically evolved systems that appear to deviate from the standard dust and metal production equilibrium observed in less obscured galaxies. This study demonstrates the synergy of JWST and ALMA in unveiling the nature of DSFGs, and highlights the need for a NIRSpec survey of uniformly selected, massive, dust-obscured, galaxies to fully characterise their interstellar medium.
