KAGG巡天利用KCWI观测z~3-5的36个DLA,发现7个Lyα发射体候选,结合MAGG样本揭示碰撞参数随金属丰度减小,高金属丰度对应高晕质量,低碰撞参数探测率低表明DLA星系恒星质量低或发射受抑制。

我们介绍了KAGG(星系周围气体的KCWI分析)巡天,该巡天利用凯克宇宙网成像仪(KCWI)积分场光谱仪,对z~3-5处的阻尼莱曼α吸收体(DLAs)周围的Lyα发射进行了研究。KAGG巡天的特点是样本包含36个DLA,覆盖了广泛的金属丰度范围,搜索相关Lyα发射的广域范围(碰撞参数b$~\backsimeq120~$kpc),以及高发射灵敏度,可探测到Lyα光度$\backsimeq10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$。我们识别出7个DLA Lyα发射体,由于Lyα发射与DLA红移之间的良好匹配,这些发射体很可能是DLA星系候选体。基于来自KAGG和MAGG(星系周围气体的MUSE分析)的11个DLA Lyα发射体的综合样本,我们发现DLA Lyα发射体的碰撞参数随DLA金属丰度的增加而减小,从[M/H]~-2时的b$~>50~$kpc降至[M/H]~-1时的b$~<50~$kpc。将速度偏移较大和碰撞参数较大的Lyα发射体包括在内,我们构建了35个“群”Lyα发射体和17个“大尺度”Lyα发射体的样本。我们发现它们的碰撞参数和发生率也依赖于DLA金属丰度。基于我们巡天的模拟以及与星系形成模型的比较,我们得出结论:较高的DLA金属丰度与较高的暗物质晕质量相关。在低碰撞参数下Lyα发射探测率较低,这表明大多数DLA星系要么具有较低的恒星质量(M$~\backsimeq10^{8}M_{\odot}$),要么其Lyα发射因HI共振散射和/或尘埃吸收而受到抑制。
英文摘要
We present the KCWI Analysis of Gas around Galaxies (KAGG) survey of Ly$α$ emission around Damped Ly$α$ Absorbers (DLAs) at z~3-5 with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI) integral-field spectrograph. The KAGG survey is characterized by the sample of 36 DLAs spanning a wide metallicity range, the wide search area for associated Ly$α$ emission (impact parameter b$~\lesssim 120~$kpc), and the high emission sensitivity, reaching Ly$α$ luminosities $\lesssim10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We identify 7 DLA Ly$α$ emitters that are likely DLA galaxy candidates due to the good match between the Ly$α$ emission and DLA redshifts. Based on a composite sample of 11 DLA Ly$α$ emitters from KAGG and MAGG (MUSE Analysis of Gas around Galaxies), we find that the impact parameters of DLA Ly$α$ emitters decrease with DLA metallicity, from b$~>50~$kpc at [M/H]~-2 to b$~<50~$kpc at [M/H]~-1. Including Ly$α$ emitters at larger velocity offsets and at larger impact parameters from the DLAs, we construct samples of 35 "Group" Ly$α$ emitters and 17 "Large-scale" Ly$α$ emitters. We find that their impact parameters and incidence rates also depend on DLA metallicity. Based on simulations of our survey and comparisons with models of galaxy formation, we conclude that higher DLA metallicities are associated with higher halo masses. The low Ly$α$ emission detection rate at low impact parameters suggests that most DLA galaxies either have low stellar masses (M$~\lesssim10^{8}M_{\odot}$) or have their Ly$α$ emission suppressed due to HI resonant scattering and/or dust absorption.
