On the stellar masses of IRAC detected Lyman Break Galaxies atz∼ 3

Abstract: We present results of a large survey of the mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) properties of 248 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) with confirmed spectroscopic redshift using deep Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations in six cosmological fields. By combining the new mid‐IR photometry with optical and near‐infrared observations, we model the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) employing a revised version of the Bruzual and Charlot synthesis population code that incorporates a new treatment of the thermal‐pulsating as… Show more

“…This correlation has been observed in the local universe (Brinchmann et al 2004;Peng et al 2010), as well as at intermediate redshifts 0.5 < z < 3 (Noeske et al 2007;Elbaz et al 2007;Daddi et al 2007;Pannella et al 2009;Rodighiero et al 2010;Karim et al 2011; Magdis et al 2010b), and beyond (e.g., Daddi et al 2009; Stark et al 2010), with a normalization factor that increases rapidly with look-back time, mirroring the increase in the star formation activity of the early galaxies.…”

“…Even after accounting for the magnification produced by the lensing group of galaxies (μ HST =8.5±0.5), it is still very luminous in the rest-frame UV with an absolute magnitude M UV =−23.4, two-and-a-half magnitudes more luminous than typical LBGs (L UV * ) at a similar redshift (Reddy & Steidel 2009). The stellar mass and SFR derived in Section 4 yield a specific star formation rate of 55 Gyr −1 well above the main sequence at that redshift (e.g., Mannucci et al 2009;Magdis et al 2010b;Álvarez-Márquez et al 2016). The nature and properties of this kind of UV ultraluminous galaxies (i.e., M UV −23) are still poorly understood, given the lack of examples reported in the literature (e.g., Allam et al 2007;Bian et al 2012;Le Fèvre et al 2013;Marques-Chaves et al 2017;Ono et al 2017).…”
