英文摘要 | Star formation depends critically on cooling mechanisms in the interstellar medium (ISM); however, thermal properties of gas in galaxies at the peak epoch of star formation (z similar to 2) remain poorly understood. A limiting factor in understanding the multiphase ISM is the lack of multiple tracers detected in the same galaxies, such as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission, a tracer of a critical photoelectric heating mechanism in interstellar gas, and [C ii] 158 mu m fine-structure emission, a principal coolant. We present ALMA Band 9 observations targeting [C ii] in six z similar to 2 star-forming galaxies with strong Spitzer IRS detections of PAH emission. All six galaxies are detected in dust continuum and marginally resolved. We compare the properties of PAH and [C ii] emission, and constrain their relationship as a function of total infrared luminosity (L-IR) and IR surface density. [C ii] emission is detected in one galaxy at high signal-to-noise (34 sigma), and we place a secure upper limit on a second source. The rest of our sample are not detected in [C ii] likely due to redshift uncertainties and narrow ALMA bandpass windows. Our results are consistent with the deficit in [C ii]/L-IR and PAH/L-IR observed in the literature. However, the ratio of [C ii] to PAH emission at z similar to 2 is possibly much lower than what is observed in nearby dusty star-forming galaxies. This could be the result of enhanced cooling via [O i] at high-z, hotter gas and dust temperatures, and/or a reduction in the photoelectric efficiency, in which the coupling between interstellar radiation and gas heating is diminished. |
