摘要:

我们目前的成像偏振的非常明亮,红移2.3 IRAS源FSC 10214 +4724。这些观测结果是用HST的F437 M滤光片中的微弱物体相机获得的,该滤光片没有强发射线。0.7弧秒长的弧在横向上的半高宽为0.04弧秒,并且具有28 +/-3%的综合偏振,与地面观测结果非常一致。偏振位置角沿弧变化达35度。总体位置角为北纬62 +/- 3度。在B = 27.5 mag($3σ$)时没有检测到反像,给出了大于250的所观察到的电弧与反像的通量比,比先前在I波段中测量的100的通量比大得多。这意味着在B波段的源平面的对象的配置是不同的,在I波段,和/或透镜星系是尘埃。

英文摘要:

We present imaging polarimetry of the extremely luminous, redshift 2.3 IRAS source FSC10214+4724. The observations were obtained with HST's Faint Object Camera in the F437M filter, which is free of strong emission lines. The 0.7 arcsec long arc is unresolved to 0.04 arcsec FWHM in the transverse direction, and has an integrated polarization of 28 +/- 3 percent, in good agreement with ground-based observations. The polarization position angle varies along the arc by up to 35 deg. The overall position angle is 62 +/- 3 deg east of north. No counterimage is detected to B = 27.5 mag ($3σ$), giving an observed arc to counterimage flux ratio greater than 250, considerably greater than the flux ratio of 100 measured previously in the I-band. This implies that the configuration of the object in the source plane at the B-band is different from that at I-band, and/or that the lensing galaxy is dusty.
