低金属丰度星系的冷星际介质的性质尚不为人所知,这是由于其微弱和极小的尺度所导致的。我们以前所未有的0.2弧秒(52 pc)分辨率,对邻近的低金属丰度(12 + log(O/H) = 7.25)蓝致密矮星系SBS0335-052的深ALMA波段6 (230GHz)进行了观测。没有检测到12CO J=2-1线,我们报告了LCO(2-1) = 3.6x10^4 K km/s pc^2的3 σ上限。假设分子气体在给定的耗尽时间(从0.02到2 Gyr)内转化为恒星,我们发现CO-to-H2转换因子α _co的下限在10^2-10^4 Msun pc^-2 (K km/s)^-1范围内。连续辐射在两个主要的超级星团上被探测和分辨。对红外射电光谱能量分布的重新分析表明,毫米通量不仅是自由-自由发射,而且很可能与与最亮星团位置一致的冷尘埃成分有关。根据标准尘埃的性质,我们估计它的质量可达10^5毫太阳。线和连续体的结果都表明存在一个大的冷气藏,即使用ALMA也看不见。
Properties of the cold interstellar medium of low-metallicity galaxies are not well-known due to the faintness and extremely small scale on which emission is expected. We present deep ALMA band 6 (230GHz) observations of the nearby, low-metallicity (12 + log(O/H) = 7.25) blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS0335-052 at an unprecedented resolution of 0.2 arcsec (52 pc). The 12CO J=2-1 line is not detected and we report a 3-sigma upper limit of LCO(2-1) = 3.6x10^4 K km/s pc^2. Assuming that molecular gas is converted into stars with a given depletion time, ranging from 0.02 to 2 Gyr, we find lower limits on the CO-to-H2 conversion factor alpha_CO in the range 10^2-10^4 Msun pc^-2 (K km/s)^-1. The continuum emission is detected and resolved over the two main super star clusters. Re-analysis of the IR-radio spectral energy distribution suggests that the mm-fluxes are not only free-free emission but are most likely also associated with a cold dust component coincident with the position of the brightest cluster. With standard dust properties, we estimate its mass to be as large as 10^5 Msun. Both line and continuum results suggest the presence of a large cold gas reservoir unseen in CO even with ALMA.
