ISOCAM 15 μm Search for Distant Infrared Galaxies Lensed by Clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a search for lensed infrared galaxies, ISOCAM images have been obtained toward the rich clusters Abell 2218 and Abell 2219 at 15 μm. Nine galaxies (four in Abell 2218 and five in Abell 2219) were detected with flux levels in the range 530–1100 μJy. Three of the galaxies detected in Abell 2218 have previously known redshifts; of these one is a foreground galaxy and the other two are lensed background galaxies at z = 0.474 and z = 1.032. One of the objects detected in the field of Abell 2219 is a faint, optically red, extreme infrared-dominated galaxy with a probable redshift of 1.048. Subject headings: Galaxies: Clusters

Letter to the Editor An ultra-deep ISOCAM observation through a cluster-lens
We present results of ultra-deep ISOCAM observations through a cluster-lens at 7μm and 15μm with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) satellite. These observations reveal a large number of luminous Mid-Infrared (MIR) sources. Crossidentification in the optical and Near-Infrared (NIR) wavebands shows that about half of the 7 μm sources are cluster galaxies. The other 7 μm and almost all 15 μm so...

We present results of our 7 μm deep survey program madewith ISOCAM, the infrared camera of ISO (InfraredSpace Observatory). We have found 15 sources above a 5 σrms significance in a small selected area (3′× 3′) in the Lockman HI hole. Among the 15 sources, 14 objects have also been observed in the near infrared (NIR: ∼ 2 μm). The majority of the 7 μm sources (11 objects) have NIR counterparts m...
متن کاملAn Isocam Survey through Gravitationally Lensing Galaxy Clusters ⋆ I. Source Lists and Source Counts for A370, A2218 and A2390
ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was used to perform a deep survey with ISOCAM through three massive gravitationally lensing clusters of galaxies. The total area surveyed depends on source flux, with nearly seventy square arcminutes covered for the brighter flux levels in maps centred on the three clusters Abell 370, Abell 2218 and Abell 2390. We present maps and photometry at 6.7μm (here...

We report on the mid-infrared imaging at 5, 7, 10 & 15 µm of the galaxy cluster Abell 2218 obtained with the ISOCAM instrument onboard ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), as part of an ongoing program to image gravitational arcs and arclets in distant clusters. Several cluster galaxies as well as field galaxies are detected. We discuss their mid-IR flux properties.

We present results of ultra-deep ISOCAM observations through a cluster-lens at 7m and 15m with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) satellite.

Cross-identiication in the optical and Near-Infrared (NIR) wavebands shows that about half of the 7 m sources are cluster galaxies. The other 7 m and almost all 15m sources...
