Extended metal emission strong outflow Yuma+13 find 12 [OII]Blobs at z~1.2 using a Subaru large-area narrowband survey.

Extended metal emission strong outflow Yuma+13 find 12 [OII]Blobs at z~1.2. [OII]Blobs are expected to have outflows. Slide 11 Our Target: [OII]Blob 10 One of the highest SSFR. No signature of AGN in the available data. The aims of our study is To check whether an outflow is occuring. To check the presence of an AGN [OII] emission Stellar componet Harikane+14 Slide 12 Observations Keck/MOSFIRE, Y-band (9800-11000 ), 2.4h H4861, [OIII]4959,5007 To check the presence of AGN Magellan/LDSS3, VPH-blue (4800-6600 ), 2.5h Metal absorption lines. To check whether [OII]Blob10 has an outflow Magellan/LDSS3, VPH-red (6700-8600 ), 0.5h [OII]3726,3729 Slide 13 Results: MOSFIRE H, [OIII] doublet lines are detected with high significance levels. Systemic redshift is z=1.18000.0002 These lines appear to have two components. Harikane+14 Slide 14 Results: LDSS3 with VPH-blue Blueshifted FeII2587 and MgII2796,2804 absorption lines are identified with 2.7 and 5.5 levels, respectively. 80 km/s Harikane+14 260 km/s Slide 15 Results: LDSS3 with VPH-red [OII]3726,3729 emission lines are detected with high significance level. The two components of each doublet line are not resolved. R~1710 (cf. R~3390 in MOSFIRE spectrum) Slide 16 [OII]Blob 10 Has an Outflow! Blueshifted absorption lines indicate gas outflow. The outflow velocity is 80-260 km/s. Escape velocity is 250140 km/s. Estimated under the assumption of a singular isothermal halo potential. Some fraction of outflowing gas would escape from [OII]Blob 10 and the star- formation activity could be suppressed. Comparable ! Slide 17 Estimating Escape Velocity We assume singular isothermal halo truncated at r=r h. (r h /r=10-100) Relation between escape velocity v esc and circular velocity v c Circular velocity is estimated from [OII] line width (Rix+97) Slide 18 The difference of the velocities MgII absorption 26040 km/s FeII absortption 8050 km/s There are three possibilities explaing this difference. Emission filling in MgII absorption Difference in oscillator strengths FeII absorption in foreground galaxy Slide 19 Does [OII]Blob 10 Have an AGN? Slide 20 It is likely that [OII]Blob 10 is a composite of an AGN and star-forming regions. Slide 21 Implications of Two Components. Two strong star-forming regions. A galaxy merger. A combination of a galaxy and an outflow knot. None of these three possibilities can be conclusively ruled out given current results. Slide 22 Outflow Rate and Mass Loading Factor Mass outflow rate We estimate N(H) using MgII doublet ratio. Mass loading factor Relatively higher than mass loading factors of galaxies of Arribas+14 and Rupke+05. Slide 23 Summary We present the Keck/MOSFIRE and Magellan/LDSS3 spectrosopy for [OII]Blob 10. [OII]Blob 10 has an outflow whose velocity is 80-260 km/s. This outflow velocity is comparable to the escape velocity, implying that the some fraction of outflowing gas would escape. [OII]Blob 10 is likely to be a composite of an AGN and star-forming regions.
