我们使用哈勃太空望远镜上的宇宙起源摄谱仪对红移 z 在 0.2993-0.4317 范围内的五个恒星形成星系进行观测,并采用高发射线通量比 O32=[OIII]5007/[OII]3727 ~ 8-27,旨在探测莱曼连续谱 (LyC) 发射。我们检测到所有星系中的 LyC 发射,逃逸分数 fesc(LyC) 范围在 2-72% 之间。在中等分辨率 COS 光谱中可以看到一条狭窄的 Ly-alpha 发射线,在四个星系中有两个峰值,在一个天体中有三个峰值,峰值 Vsep 之间的速度间隔从约 153 km/s 到约 345 km/s 不等。我们发现 LyC 逃逸分数随着 O32 的增加和恒星质量 M* 的减少而普遍增加,但 fesc(LyC) 的分散程度很大。 fesc(LyC) 和 Vsep 之间存在紧密的反相关性,使得 Vsep 成为间接测定 LyC 逃逸分数的良好参数。我们认为,驱动电离辐射逃逸的一个可能来源是恒星风和来自炽热大质量恒星的辐射。
We present observations with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope of five star-forming galaxies at redshifts z in the range 0.2993-0.4317 and with high emission-line flux ratios O32=[OIII]5007/[OII]3727 ~ 8-27 aiming to detect the Lyman continuum (LyC) emission. We detect LyC emission in all galaxies with the escape fractions fesc(LyC) in a range of 2-72 per cent. A narrow Ly-alpha emission line with two peaks in four galaxies and with three peaks in one object is seen in medium-resolution COS spectra with a velocity separation between the peaks Vsep varying from ~153 km/s to ~345 km/s. We find a general increase of the LyC escape fraction with increasing O32 and decreasing stellar mass M*, but with a large scatter of fesc(LyC). A tight anti-correlation is found between fesc(LyC) and Vsep making Vsep a good parameter for the indirect determination of the LyC escape fraction. We argue that one possible source driving the escape of ionizing radiation is stellar winds and radiation from hot massive stars.
