摘要
我们证明了射电选择在探测严重遮挡星系群方面的重要性。我们将星系和质量集合（GAMA）G23 星场中的宇宙演化图（EMU）早期科学数据与 GAMA 数据结合起来，提供光学光度测量和光谱线测量结果，并结合宽视场红外巡天探测器（WISE）的红外光度测量，提供红外光度和颜色。我们根据巴尔默衰减（BD）研究了恒星形成星系的遮挡程度，并探讨了这种趋势在 0 < z < 0.345 的红移范围内的变化情况。我们证明，射电探测到的星系群的平均遮挡程度要比光学样本高，这是因为遗漏了BD最低、质量最小的星系，而这些星系也是恒星形成率（SFR）和金属性较低的星系。我们讨论了这一结果的可能解释，包括推测是否可能是由于低质量、低恒星形成率星系的恒星初始质量函数较陡造成的。
EMU/GAMA: Radio detected galaxies are more obscured than optically selected galaxies
We demonstrate the importance of radio selection in probing heavily obscured galaxy populations. We combine Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Early Science data in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) G23 field with the GAMA data, providing optical photometry and spectral line measurements, together withWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared (IR) photometry, providing IR luminosities and colours. We investigate the degree of obscuration in star forming galaxies, based on the Balmer decrement (BD), and explore how this trend varies, over a redshift range of 0 < z < 0.345. We demonstrate that the radio detected population has on average higher levels of obscuration than the parent optical sample, arising through missing the lowest BD and lowest mass galaxies, which are also the lower star formation rate (SFR) and metallicity systems. We discuss possible explanations for this result, including speculation around whether it might arise from steeper stellar initial mass functions in low mass, low SFR galaxies.
