Lyα view around a z = 2.84 hyperluminous QSO at a node of the cosmic web
We report on the results of deep and wide-field (1.1 deg²) narrow-band observations with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) of a field around a hyperluminous QSO (HLQSO), HS1549+1549+1919, residing in a protocluster at z = 2.84, to map the large-scale structure of Lyα emitters (LAEs). One HSC pointing enables us to detect 3490 LAEs and 76 extended Lyα blobs (LABs), probing diverse environments from voids to protoclusters. The HLQSO is found to be near the center of the protocluster, which corresponds to the intersection of ∼100 comoving Mpc-scale structures of LAEs. LABs are basically distributed along the large-scale structure, with larger ones particularly clustering around the HLQSO, confirming a previously noted tendency of LABs to prefer denser environments. Moreover, the shapes of LABs near the HLQSO appear to be aligned with the large-scale structure. Finally, a deep Lyα image reveals a diffuse Lyα nebula along a filamentary structure with no luminous UV/sub-mm counterpart. We suggest that the diffuse nebula is due to a cold filament with high clumping factor illuminated by the QSO, with the required high clumpiness provided by unresolved residing halos of mass ≤10⁹⁻¹⁰ M_⊙
Hard X-Ray to Radio Multiwavelength SED Analysis of Local U/LIRGs in GOALS Sample with Self-consistent AGN Model Including Polar-dust Component
We conduct a hard X-ray to radio multiwavelength spectral energy distribution
(SED) decomposition for 57 local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies
(U/LIRGs) observed with Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array and/or
Swift/Burst Alert Telescope in GOALS (Armus et al. 2009) sample. We modify the
latest SED-fitting code X-CIGALE by implementing the infrared (IR) CLUMPY
model, allowing the multiwavelength study with the X-ray torus model (XCLUMPY)
self-consistently. Adopting the torus parameters obtained by the X-ray fitting
(Yamada et al. 2021), we estimate the properties of host galaxies, active
galactic nucleus (AGN) tori, and polar dust. The star formation rates (SFRs)
become larger with merger stage and most of them are above the main sequence.
The SFRs are correlated with radio luminosity, indicating starburst emission is
dominant in the radio band. Although polar-dust extinction is much smaller than
torus extinction, the UV-to-IR (mainly IR) polar dust luminosities are 2
times larger than the torus ones. The polar-dust temperature decreases while
the physical size, estimated by the temperature and dust sublimation radius,
increases with AGN luminosity from a few tens of parsec (early mergers) to
kiloparsec scales (late mergers), where the polar dust is likely the expanding
(i.e., evolving) dusty outflows. The comparison between SFRs and intrinsic AGN
luminosities suggests that the starbursts occur first and AGNs arise later, and
overall their growth rates follow the simultaneous coevolution relation that
can establish the local galaxy-SMBH mass relation. We confirm the coexistence
of intense starbursts, AGNs, and large-scale outflows in late mergers,
supporting a standard AGN feedback scenario.Comment: 84 pages (5 tables/29 figures in the main text and 8 tables/18
