摘要
We use deep observations obtained with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) onboard the Herschel Space Observatory to study the far-infrared (FIR) properties of submillimeter and optically faint radio galaxies (SMGs and OFRGs). From literature we compiled a sample of 35 securely identified SMGs and nine OFRGs located in the GOODS-N and the A2218 fields. This sample is cross-matched with our PACS 100 mu m and 160 mu m multi-wavelength catalogs based on sources-extraction using prior detections at 24 mu m. About half of the galaxies in our sample are detected in at least the PACS 160 mu m bandpass. The dust temperatures and the infrared luminosities of our galaxies are derived by fitting their PACS and SCUBA 850 mu m (only the upper limits for the OFRGs) flux densities with a single modified (beta = 1.5) black body function. The median dust temperature of our SMG sample is T-dust = 36 +/- 8 K while for our OFRG sample it is T-dust = 47 +/- 3 K. For both samples, median dust temperatures derived from Herschel data agree well with previous estimates. In particular, Chapman et al. (2005, ApJ, 622, 772) found a dust temperature of T-dust = 36 +/- 7K for a large sample of SMGs assuming the validity of the FIR/radio correlation (i.e., q = log(10)(L-FIR[W]/L-1.4 (GHz)[W Hz(-1)]/3.75x10(12))). The agreement between our studies confirms that the local FIR/radio correlation effectively holds at high redshift even though we find < q > = 2.17 +/- 0.19, a slightly lower value than that observed in local systems. The median infrared luminosities of SMGs and OFRGs are 4.6x10(12) L-circle dot and 2.6x10(12) L-circle dot, respectively. We note that for both samples the infrared luminosity estimates from the radio part of the spectral energy distribution (SED) are accurate, while estimates from the mid-IR are considerably (similar to x3) more uncertain. Our observations confirm the remarkably high luminosities of SMGs and thus imply median star-formation rates of 960 M-circle dot yr(-1) for SMGs with S (850 mu m) > 5 mJy and 460 M-circle dot yr(-1) for SMGs with S (850 mu m) > 2 mJy, assuming a Chabrier IMF and no dominant AGN contribution to the far-infrared luminosity.
