摘要
We present the spectroscopic confirmation of the brightest known gravitationally lensed Lyman-break galaxy in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), A1703-zD1, through the detection of [C II] 158 mu m at a redshift of z = 6.8269 +/- 0.0004. This source was selected behind the strong lensing cluster Abell 1703, with an intrinsic luminosity and a very blue Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) [3.6]-[4.5] colour, implying high equivalent width line emission of [O III] + H beta. [C II] is reliably detected at 6.1 sigma cospatial with the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) counterpart, showing similar spatial extent. Correcting for the lensing magnification, the [C II] luminosity in A1703-zD1 is broadly consistent with the local L-[C II]-star formation rate (SFR) relation. We find a clear velocity gradient of 103 +/- 22 km s(-1) across the source that possibly indicates rotation or an ongoing merger. We furthermore present spectral scans with no detected [C II] above 4.6 sigma in two unlensed Lyman-break galaxies in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS)-Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) field at z similar to 6.6-6.9. This is the first time that the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) has been successfully used to observe [C II] in a 'normal' star-forming galaxy at z > 6, and our results demonstrate its capability to complement the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in confirming galaxies in the EoR.
