SOFIA/HAWC+ View of an Extremely Luminous Infrared Galaxy, WISE1013+6112

Abstract

We present far-infrared (FIR) properties of an extremely luminous infrared galaxy (ELIRG) at $z_{\mathrm{spec}}$ = 3.703, WISE J101326.25+611220.1 (WISE1013+6112). This ELIRG is selected as an IR-bright dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) based on the photometry from the Sloan digital sky survey (SDSS) and wide-field infrared survey explorer (WISE). In order to derive its accurate IR luminosity, we perform follow-up observations at 89 and 154 $\mu$m using the high-resolution airborne wideband camera-plus (HAWC+) on board the 2.7-m stratospheric observatory for infrared astronomy (SOFIA) telescope. We conduct spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting with CIGALE using 15 photometric data (0.4-1300 $\mu$m). We successfully pin down FIR SED of WISE1013+6112 and its IR luminosity is estimated to be $L_{\mathrm{IR}}$ = (1.62 $\pm$ 0.08) $\times 10^{14}$ $L_{\odot }$, making it one of the most luminous IR galaxies in the universe. We determine the dust temperature of WISE1013+6112 is $T_{\mathrm{dust}}$ = 89 $\pm$ 3 K, which is significantly higher than that of other populations such as SMGs and FIR-selected galaxies at similar IR luminosities. The resultant dust mass is $M_{\mathrm{dust}}$ = (2.2 $\pm$ 0.1) $\times 10^8$ $M_{\odot }$. This indicates that WISE1013+6112 has a significant active galactic nucleus (AGN) and star-forming activity behind a large amount of dust.
