    A lack of Lyman α emitters within 5 Mpc of a luminous quasar in an overdensity at z=6.9: Potential evidence of negative quasar feedback at protocluster scales
    (2024) Lambert, Trystan S.; Assef, R. J.; Mazzucchelli, C.; Banados, E.; Aravena, M.; Barrientos, F.; Gonzalez-Lopez, J.; Hu, W.; Infante, L.; Malhotra, S.; Moya-Sierralta, C.; Rhoads, J.; Valdes, F.; Wang, J.; Wold, I. G. B.; Zheng, Z.
    High-redshift quasars are thought to live in the densest regions of space, which should be made evident by an overdensity of galaxies around them. However, campaigns to identify these overdensities by searching for Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) and Lyman alpha emitters (LAEs) have had mixed results. These may be explained by either the small field of view of some of the experiments, the broad redshift ranges targeted by LBG searches, and the inherently high uncertainty of quasar redshifts estimated from ultraviolet emission lines, which makes it difficult to place the Ly-alpha emission line within a narrowband filter. Here, we present a 3 square degree search (similar to 1000 pMpc(2)) for LAEs around the z = 6.9 quasar VIK J2348-3054 using the Dark Energy CAMera (DECam) housed on the 4m Blanco telescope, finding 38 LAEs. The systemic redshift of VIK J2348-3054 is known from ALMA [CII] observations and places the Ly-alpha emission line of companions within the NB964 narrowband of DECam. This is the largest field-of-view LAE search around a z > 6 quasar conducted to date. We find that this field is similar to ten times more overdense than Chandra Deep-Field South, observed previously with the same instrumental setup as well as several combined blank fields. This is strong evidence that VIK J2348-3054 resides in an overdensity of LAEs over several Mpc. Surprisingly, we find a lack of LAEs within 5 physical Mpc of the quasar and take this to most likely be evidence of quasar-suppressing star formation in its immediate vicinity. This result highlights the importance of performing overdensity searches over large areas to properly assess the density of those regions of the Universe.

    Erratum: "The Globular Cluster NGC 5286. II. Variable Stars" (2010, AJ, 139, 357)
    (2010) Zorotovic, M.; Catelan, Márcio; Smith, H. A.; Pritzl, B. J.; Aguirre, P.; Angulo, R. E.; Aravena, M.; Assef, R. J.; Contreras, C.; Cortés, C.; De Martini, G.; Escobar, M. E.; González, D.; Jofré, P.; Lacerna, I.; Navarro, C.; Palma, O.; Prieto, G. E.; Recabarren, E.; Triviño, J.; Vidal, E.
    The Fourier decomposition program used in our paper contained a small error that affected the calculation of the temperatures as well as the V - I colors inferred for the RRab stars. The temperatures that appear in Table 6 in the published article are slightly overestimated, and the V - I colors underestimated. A corrected version of Table 6 is presented below....

    Molecular gas budget of strongly magnified low-mass star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon
    (2024) Catán Valenzuela, Victoria Sofia; González López, Jorge; Solimano Gambardella, Manuel Antonio; Barrientos, Luis Felipe; Afruni, A.; Aravena, M.; Bayliss, M.; Hernández, J. A.; Ledoux, C.; Mahler, G.; Sharon, K.; Tejos, N.
    Aims. The aim of this study is to investigate the molecular gas content of strongly magnified low-mass star-forming galaxies (SFGs) around the cosmic noon period (z ∼ 2) through observations of carbon monoxide (CO) emission lines and dust continuum emission, both of which serve as tracers of molecular gas (H2). Methods. We observed 12 strongly lensed arcs with the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) to detect CO mid-J rotational transitions and dust continuum. Thanks to the strong lensing, we were able to probe the previously understudied low-mass regime. With a compiled set of observations, we recalibrated empirical relations between star formation rate density (ΣSFR) and the CO line ratios. We derived galaxy properties using spectral energy distribution fitting (SED). We also performed galaxy stacking to combine faint signals. In all cases, molecular gas masses were estimated using both tracers. Results. We detected CO emission in 3 of the 12 arcs and dust continuum emission in another 3. The obtained H2 masses indicate that most of these galaxies (M* < 1010.7 M⊙) have lower molecular gas fractions and shorter depletion times compared to expectations from established scaling relations at these redshifts. We explored several possible explanations for this gas deficit, including uncertainties in mass estimates, effects of low-metallicity environments, larger atomic gas reservoirs in low-mass systems, and the possibility that these represent low-mass analogs of main sequence starburst (MS SBs) galaxies that are undergoing sustained star formation due to gas compaction despite low overall gas fractions. Conclusions. We conclude that these mass and metallicity regimes present a molecular gas deficit. Our results suggest that this deficit is likely due to a significant amount of atomic gas, which our stacking indicates is about 91% of the total gas. However, this estimation might be an upper limit, as the possibility remains that our galaxies contain CO-dark gas.

    SPT 0538-50: PHYSICAL CONDITIONS IN THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM OF A STRONGLY LENSED DUSTY STAR-FORMING GALAXY AT z=2.8

S.; Stalder, B.; Stark, A. A.; Strandet, M.; Vernet, J.; Weiss, A.; Welikala, N.
    We present observations of SPT-S J053816-5030.8, a gravitationally lensed dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) at z = 2.7817 that was first discovered at millimeter wavelengths by the South Pole Telescope. SPT 0538-50 is typical of the brightest sources found by wide-field millimeter-wavelength surveys, being lensed by an intervening galaxy at moderate redshift (in this instance, at z = 0.441). We present a wide array of multi-wavelength spectroscopic and photometric data on SPT 0538-50, including data from ALMA, Herschel PACS and SPIRE, Hubble, Spitzer, the Very Large Telescope, ATCA, APEX, and the Submillimeter Array. We use high-resolution imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope to de-blend SPT 0538-50, separating DSFG emission from that of the foreground lens. Combined with a source model derived from ALMA imaging (which suggests a magnification factor of 21+/-4), we derive the intrinsic properties of SPT 0538-50, including the stellar mass, far-IR luminosity, star formation rate, molecular gas mass, and-using molecular line fluxes-the excitation conditions within the interstellar medium. The derived physical properties argue that we arewitnessing compact, merger-driven star formation in SPT 0538-50 similar to local starburst galaxies and unlike that seen in some other DSFGs at this epoch.

    Context. Probing the faint end of the number counts at millimeter wavelengths is important in order to identify the origin of the extragalactic background light in this regime. Aided by strong gravitational lensing, ALMA observations toward massive galaxy clusters have opened a window to probe this origin, allowing us to resolve sub-milliJansky dusty star-forming galaxies.
