Discovery of a strong ionized-gas outflow in an AKARI-selected Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxy at z = 0.5

Abstract

In order to construct a sample of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs, with infrared luminosity, $L_{\mathrm{IR}}>10^{12}$ L${}_{\odot }$) at 0.5 < z < 1, we are conducting an optical follow-up program for bright 90-$\mu$m FIR sources with a faint optical (i < 20) counterpart selected in the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) Bright Source catalog (Ver.2). AKARI-FIS-V2 J0916248+073034, identified as a ULIRG at z = 0.49 in the spectroscopic follow-up observation, indicates signatures of an extremely strong outflow in its emission line profiles. Its [OIII] 5007Å emission line shows FWHM of 1830 km s${}^{-1}$ and velocity shift of -770 km s${}^{-1}$ in relative to the stellar absorption lines. Furthermore, low-ionization [OII] 3726Å 3729Å doublet also shows large FWHM of 910 km s${}^{-1}$ and velocity shift of -380 km s${}^{-1}$. After the removal of an unresolved nuclear component, the long-slit spectroscopy 2D image possibly shows that the outflow extends to radius of 4 kpc. The mass outflow and energy ejection rates are estimated to be 500 M${}_{\odot }$ yr${}^{-1}$ and $4\times 10^{44}$ erg s${}^{-1}$, respectively, which imply that the outflow is among the most powerful ones observed in ULIRGs and QSOs at 0.3 < z < 1.6. The co-existence of the strong outflow and intense star formation (star formation rate of 990 M${}_{\odot }$ yr${}^{-1}$) indicates that the feedback of the strong outflow has not severely affect the star-forming region of the galaxy.
