Dust in High Redshift Radio Galaxies and the Early Evolution of Spheroidal Galaxies | | Paola Mazzei

21 Sep 1995 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | Several lines of evidence suggest that early-type galaxies might have been very dusty during their initial evolutionary stages, characterized by intense star formation activity. The radio selection has provided, by far, the richest samples of high-$z$ galaxies, most likely of early type, which may therefore yield crucial direct information on the period when the bulk of stars were born. In order to investigate the role of dust in these phases, we have analyzed recent observations of a number of high-$z$ radio galaxies in the framework of a self-consistent scenario for the evolution of early type galaxies. The available data can be fully accounted for by ``opaque’’ models similar to that already used by Mazzei and De Zotti (1994a) to fit the spectrum of the hyperluminous galaxy IRAS~F$10214+4724$. However, there is still considerable latitude for models. Good fits can be obtained with galactic ages ranging from 0.05 to 2 Gyr. Crucial constraints may be provided by ground-based sub-mm measurements and by observations with the forthcoming Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9509108 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
