利用JWST在z=4.3的SPT2349-56原星系团核心发现11个超红星系,其颜色类似LRD但多为延展形态,其中ERD1/Q1可能是巨大宁静星系,表明致密环境在早期驱动多样演化路径。

我们展示了在z=4.3的原星系团SPT2349-56核心区域,利用JWST/NIRCam新识别出的11个超红星系。尽管这些源尚未得到光谱确认,但它们极端的颜色(m200-m444 > 2.0星等)、强烈的空间聚集性以及数密度——至少是同类场星系的2000倍——使得偶然投影关联的可能性不大。它们的颜色与用于选择“小红点”(LRD)星系的颜色重叠,尽管大多数源在空间上已分辨,因此更适合描述为“延展红点”(ERD)。分辨出的形态不支持由未分辨的活动星系核主导的连续谱发射,并暗示了显著的恒星贡献。深度的ALMA观测对 obscured 恒星形成给出了严格限制,ERD群体大多显著低于恒星形成主序。其中一个天体ERD1/Q1非常特殊,它比其他ERD明显更亮、质量更大,且远低于主序,使其成为与原星系团相关的巨大宁静或近期熄灭星系的有力候选者。在同一个致密核心内,极端尘埃星暴星系、恒星形成受抑制的星系以及一个候选的巨大宁静星系共存,表明SPT2349-56的致密环境可能已经在z>4时驱动了快速且多样化的演化路径。这些JWST选出的红星系揭示了一个此前无法触及的群体,将原星系团普查扩展到更低的亮度和恒星质量,并可能代表了成熟星系团核心所特有的被动星系群体出现的早期阶段。因此,SPT2349-56可能捕捉到了星系团形成的早期阶段,在此阶段,极端星暴与已经向将主导成熟星系团核心的被动群体过渡的星系共存。

英文摘要

We present 11 newly identified ultra-red galaxies selected with JWST/NIRCam in the core of the z=4.3 protocluster SPT2349-56. Although these sources are not yet spectroscopically confirmed, their extremely red colours (m200-m444 > 2.0 mag), strong spatial concentration, and number density - at least 2000 times that of comparable field populations - make a chance projected association unlikely. Their colours overlap those used to select the widely studied ``little red dot'' (LRD) population, although most of the sources are spatially resolved and are therefore better described as extended red dots (ERDs). The resolved morphologies disfavour continuum emission dominated by an unresolved active nucleus and imply a substantial stellar contribution. Deep ALMA observations put strong limits on obscured star formation, and the ERD population mostly lies significantly below the star-forming main sequence. One object, ERD1/Q1, is substantially brighter and more massive, lying far below the main sequence, making it a strong candidate for a massive quiescent galaxy. These JWST-selected red galaxies reveal a previously inaccessible population extending to lower luminosities and stellar masses than the Dusty Star Forming Galaxy (DSFG) population which characterizes the dense protocluster core. SPT2349-56 may therefore capture an early phase of cluster assembly in which extreme starbursts coexist with galaxies already transitioning toward the passive galaxies characteristic of mature cluster cores.
