ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: ALMA-Herschel Joint Study of Lensed Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies across z0.5-6

Abstract

We present an ALMA-Herschel joint analysis of sources detected by the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS) at 1.15 mm. Herschel/PACS and SPIRE data at 100-500 μm are deblended for 180 ALMA sources in 33 lensing cluster fields that are either detected securely (141 sources; in our main sample) or tentatively at S/N≥4 with cross-matched HST/Spitzer counterparts, down to a delensed 1.15-mm flux density of 0.02 mJy. We performed far-infrared spectral energy distribution modeling and derived the physical properties of dusty star formation for 125 sources (109 independently) that are detected at >2σ in at least one Herschel band. 27 secure ALCS sources are not detected in any Herschel bands, including 17 optical/near-IR-dark sources that likely reside at z=4.21.2. The 16-50-84 percentiles of the redshift distribution are 1.15-2.08-3.59 for ALCS sources in the main sample, suggesting an increasing fraction of z1-2 galaxies among fainter millimeter sources (f1150 0.1 mJy). With a median lensing magnification factor of μ = 2.6-0.8+2.6, ALCS sources in the main sample exhibit a median intrinsic star-formation rate of 94-54+84\,M\,yr-1, lower than that of conventional submillimeter galaxies at similar redshifts by a factor of 3. Our study suggests weak or no redshift evolution of dust temperature with LIR<1012\,L galaxies within our sample at z 0 - 2. At LIR>1012\,L, the dust temperatures show no evolution across z 1 -4 while being lower than those in the local Universe. For the highest-redshift source in our sample (z=6.07), we can rule out an extreme dust temperature (>80 K) that was reported for MACS0416 Y1 at z=8.31.
