A Detection of [c Ii] Line Emission in the Z = 4.7 Qso Br1202-0725
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present ∼ 3 resolution imaging of the z = 4.7 QSO BR1202-0725 at 900 μm from the Submillimeter Array. The two submillimeter continuum components are clearly resolved from each other, and the positions are consistent with previous lower frequency images. In addition, we detect [C II] line emission from the northern component. The ratio of [C II] to far-infrared luminosity is 0.04% for the northern component, and an upper limit of < 0.03% is obtained for the southern component. These ratios are similar to the low values found in local ultraluminous galaxies, indicating that the excitation conditions are different from those found in local field galaxies. X-ray emission is detected by Chandra from the southern component at L0.5−2keV = 3×10 45 erg s, and detected at 99.6% confidence from the northern component at L0.5−2keV ∼3×10 erg s, supporting the idea that BR1202-0725 is a pair of interacting galaxies at z = 4.7 that each harbor an active nucleus.

متن کاملDetection of a Lyman α Emission-Line Companion to the z = 4.69 QSO BR1202–0725 1
We report the detection of a nearby emission line companion to the z = 4.695 quasar BR1202–0725. Deep narrow-band exposures on this field from the UH 2.2 m show a Lyα flux of 1.5×10 ergs cm s. High-resolution HST WFC2 imaging in the F814W filter band shows continuum structure near the emission position, at 2 .6 NW of the quasar, corresponding to a projected separation of ∼ 7.5 h kpc for q0=0.5,...

متن کاملProperties of the molecular gas in a starbursting QSO at z = 1.83 in the COSMOS field
Using the IRAM 30 m telescope, we have detected the 12CO J = 2−1, 4−3, 5−4, and 6−5 emission lines in the millimeter-bright, blank-field selected AGN COSMOS J100038+020822 at redshift z = 1.8275. The sub-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) excitation of the J = 4 level implies that the gas is less excited than that in typical nearby starburst galaxies such as NGC 253, and in the high-redshift...
متن کاملHost Galaxies of Z∼4.7 Qsos
2µ broad-and narrow-band imaging with the Gemini-N telescope of five z∼4.7 QSOs, has resolved both the host galaxies and [O II] emission-line gas. The resolved fluxes of the host galaxies fall within the extrapolated spread of the K-z relationship for radio galaxies at lower redshifts, and their resolved morphology is irregular. The [O II] images indicate knots coincident with many continuum fe...
