Abstract:
AbstractWe present two ongoing studies of gas phase abundances around high redshift quasars. First, we examine broad emission line (BEL) metallicities for 29 quasars with 2.3 < z < 4.6 and far-infrared (far-IR) luminosities (LFIR) from 1013.4 to ≤ 1012.2 L⊙, corresponding to star formation rates (SFRs) of 6740 to ≤ 1360 M⊙ yr−1. Quasar samples sorted by LFIR might represent an evolutionary sequence if SFRs in quasar hosts generally diminish across quasar lifetimes. We create three composite spectra from rest-frame ultra-violet Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra with increasing far-IR luminosity. We measure the N V(λ1240)/C IV(λ1550) and Si IV(λ1397)+O IV](λ1402)/C IV(λ1550) emission line flux ratios for each composite and find uniformly high (~5-10 times solar) metallicities for the three composites, and no evidence for changes in metal enrichment with changes in ongoing SFR. Second, we present preliminary results from the largest ever survey of high resolution associated absorption line (AAL) region metallicities and physical properties in a sample of high redshift (z > 3) quasars. This includes five quasars with previously known AALs at z > 4 and two well measured z ~3 quasars with unusually rich absorption spectra. We determine well-constrained metallicities of about twice solar for five AAL systems. We find a range of lower limits for AAL metallicities in the z > 4 quasars from 1/100ths solar to 3 times solar. Overall, these results for typically super-solar gas-phase metallicities near quasars are consistent with evolutionary schemes where the major episodes of star formation in the host galaxies occur before the visibly luminous quasar phase. High SFRs (comparable to ULIRGs) in the host galaxies are not clearly linked to younger or chemically less mature quasar environments.

ABSTRACT We report on observations of redshifted CO(1–0) line emission and observed-frame $\rm \sim 30\,$GHz radio continuum emission from five ultra-luminous, mid-IR selected hot, Dust-Obscured Galaxies (Hot DOGs) at $z\rm \gtrsim 3$ using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. We detect CO(1–0) line emission in all five Hot DOGs, with one of them at high signal-to-noise ratio. We analyse FIR-radio spectral energy distributions, including dust, free–free, and synchrotron emission for the galaxies. We find that most of the $\rm 115\,$ GHz rest-frame continuum is mostly due to synchrotron or free–free emission, with only a potentially small contribution from thermal emission. We see a deficit in the rest-frame $\rm 115\,$ GHz continuum emission compared to dusty star-forming galaxies and sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) at high redshift, suggesting that Hot DOGs do not have similar cold gas reserves compared with star-forming galaxies. One target, W2305−0039, is detected in the FIRST $\rm 1.4\, GHz$ survey, and is likely to possess compact radio jets. We compare to the FIR–radio correlation, and find that at least half of the Hot DOGs in our sample are radio-quiet with respect to normal galaxies. These findings suggest that Hot DOGs have comparably less cold molecular gas than star-forming galaxies at lower, $z\rm \sim 2$ redshifts, and are dominated by powerful, yet radio-quiet AGN.

Aims. We present the detailed characterisation of a sample of 56 sources serendipitously detected in ALMA band 7 as part of the ALMA Large Program to INvestigate CII at Early Times (ALPINE). These sources, detected in COSMOS and ECDFS, have been used to derive the total infrared luminosity function (LF) and to estimate the cosmic star formation rate density (SFRD) up to z ≃ 6. Methods. We looked for counterparts of the ALMA sources in all the available multi-wavelength (from HST to VLA) and photometric redshift catalogues. We also made use of deeper UltraVISTA and Spitzer source lists and maps to identify optically dark sources with no matches in the public catalogues. We used the sources with estimated redshifts to derive the 250 μm rest-frame and total infrared (8–1000 μm) LFs from z ≃ 0.5 to 6. Results. Our ALMA blind survey (860 μm flux density range: ∼0.3–12.5 mJy) allows us to further push the study of the nature and evolution of dusty galaxies at high-z, identifying luminous and massive sources to redshifts and faint luminosities never probed before by any far-infrared surveys. The ALPINE data are the first ones to sample the faint end of the infrared LF, showing little evolution from z ≃ 2.5 to z ≃ 6, and a “flat” slope up to the highest redshifts (i.e. 4.5 < z < 6). The SFRD obtained by integrating the luminosity function remains almost constant between z ≃ 2 and z ≃ 6, and significantly higher than the optical or ultra-violet derivations, showing a significant contribution of dusty galaxies and obscured star formation at high-z. About 14% of all the ALPINE serendipitous continuum sources are found to be optically and near-infrared (near-IR) dark (to a depth Ks ∼ 24.9 mag). Six show a counterpart only in the mid-IR and no HST or near-IR identification, while two are detected as [C II] emitters at z ≃ 5. The six HST+near-IR dark galaxies with mid-IR counterparts are found to contribute about 17% of the total SFRD at z ≃ 5 and to dominate the high-mass end of the stellar mass function at z > 3.

Abstract:
AbstractSupernova (SN) rates serve as an important probe of star formation models and initial mass functions, particularly at high redshifts due to the SN intrinsic luminosity. Ground-based optical surveys, however, typically discover nearly ten times fewer SNe than predicted, challenging our understanding of massive star formation and evolution. These results are generally attributed to the high dust extinction associated with the nuclei of star forming galaxies, such as Ultra Luminous InfraRed Galaxies (ULIRGs). Near-infrared surveys have been unsuccessful due to extinction values exceeding AV > 25 mag, and even on an 8-m AO system, subtraction algorithms used to find the SNe inevitably leave large residuals associated with the inner 2” of the galactic nucleus, which is where a majority of the SNe occur. A successful survey must be conducted at longer wavelengths and with a space-based telescope, which has stable seeing that reduces the necessity for any subtraction algorithms and, therefore, residuals. Here we present ongoing work from our 300 hour Spitzer 3.6 micron survey for dust-extinguished SNe in the nuclear regions of ULIRGs within 200 Mpc. The direct product of this study will be an improved understanding of the connection between the far-IR luminosity of ULIRGs and massive star formation.

AbstractWe present preliminary results on Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of three Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) and one infrared Quasi Stellar Object (IR QSO). The galaxies were observed at sub-kpc spatial resolution in lines of CO and 13CO, as well as in the continuum at 1.3mm. The moment maps show that the molecular gas in these galaxies is distributed in rotating disks with velocity gradients ranging from ~30 to 120 km s−1 kpc−1. Combined with archival CO J=3-2 data, the spatial distributions of the CO J=3-2/J=2-1 ratios shows clear variations across the galaxies. The brightness temperature of the overlap region in VV 114 is found to be lower than that in the nuclear region of VV 114E, suggesting that that the bulk of molecular gas in this region is sub-thermalized.

Abstract:
AbstractUltra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs; L > 1012 L⊙) are quite rare in the local universe, but seem to dominate the co-moving energy density at z > 2. Many are optically-faint, dust-obscured galaxies that have been identified only relatively recently by the detection of their thermal dust emission redshifted into the sub-mm wavelengths. These submm galaxies (SMGs) have been shown to be a massive objects (M* ~ 1011 M⊙) undergoing intense star-formation(SFRs ~ 102 − 103 M⊙ yr−1) and the likely progenitors of massive ellipticals today. However, the AGN contribution to the far-IR luminosity had for years remained a caveat to these results. We used the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) to investigate the energetics of 24 radio-identified and spectroscopically-confirmed SMGs in the redshift range of 0.6 < z < 3.2. We find emission from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) – which are associated with intense star-formation activity – in >80% of our sample and find that the median mid-IR spectrum is well described by a starburst component with an additional power-law continuum representing < 32% AGN contribution to the far-IR luminosity. We also find evidence for a more extended distribution of warm dust in SMGs compared to the more compact nuclear bursts in local ULIRGs and starbursts, suggesting that SMGs are not simple high-redshift analogs of local ULIRGs or nuclear starbursts, but have star formation which resembles that seen in less-extreme star-forming environments at z ~ 0.

Abstract:
Ultra-deep CCD surveys to 29 mag from .32 to .9 μ wavelength reveal an isotropic population of very blue galaxies. There are over 150,000 of these objects per square degree per magnitude. Saturation of their number density at 27 mag indicates that most of the optical light from this population has been detected. The resulting extragalactic background radiation from the UV to the near-IR due to this population of objects is shown. Gravitational lens and Lyman-break observations show that the redshift of galaxies fainter than 24 mag is in the range 1–3. Small-scale dark lane structures may be intergalactic dust clouds or tunnels through the luminous galaxy distribution.

Abstract:
Abstract This work presents an IceCube search for high-energy neutrinos from Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). ULIRGs are the most luminous infrared objects in the sky, with infrared luminosities exceeding 1012 solar luminosities. They are mainly powered by starbursts that exhibit star-formation rates larger than 100 solar masses per year. In addition, an active galactic nucleus (AGN) can also contribute significantly to the ULIRG luminosity output. The acceleration of hadrons, and consequently the production of neutrinos, can occur both in starburst and AGN environments. As such, ULIRGs form a source population that could be responsible for a significant fraction of the diffuse neutrino flux observed by IceCube. In this study we perform a stacking analysis on a representative sample of 75 ULIRGs with redshift z ≤ 0.13 using 7.5 years of IceCube data. We find no evidence for astrophysical neutrinos correlated with our selection of ULIRGs. We therefore compute upper limits on the contribution of the ULIRG source population to the diffuse neutrino observations, and also use these limits to constrain model predictions.

ABSTRACT We present modelling of ∼0.1 arcsec resolution Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array imaging of seven strong gravitationally lensed galaxies detected by the Herschel Space Observatory. Four of these systems are galaxy–galaxy strong lenses, with the remaining three being group-scale lenses. Through careful modelling of visibilities, we infer the mass profiles of the lensing galaxies and by determining the magnification factors, we investigate the intrinsic properties and morphologies of the lensed submillimetre sources. We find that these submillimetre sources all have ratios of star formation rate to dust mass that are consistent with, or in excess of, the mean ratio for high-redshift submillimetre galaxies and low redshift ultra-luminous infrared galaxies. Reconstructions of the background sources reveal that the majority of our sample display disturbed morphologies. The majority of our lens models have mass density slopes close to isothermal, but some systems show significant differences.
