Abstract
We investigate the radio/far-infrared (FIR) correlation for a sample of 28 bright high-redshift (1 z 4) star-forming galaxies selected in the FIR from the Herschel -ATLAS fields as candidates to be strongly gravitationally lensed. The radio information comes either from high sensitivity dedicated Australia Telescope Compact Array observations at 2.1 GHz or from cross-matches with the FIRST surv e y at 1.4 GHz. By taking advantage of source brightness possibly enhanced by lensing magnification, we identify a weak evolution with redshift out to z 4 of the FIR-to-radio luminosity ratio q FIR . We also find that the q FIR parameter as a function of the radio power L 1 . 4 GHz displays a clear decreasing trend, similarly to what is observed for optically/radio- selected lensed quasars found in literature, yet co v ering a complementary region in the q FIR –L 1 . 4 GHz diagram. We interpret such a behaviour in the framework of an in situ galaxy formation scenario, as a result of the transition from an early dust-obscured star-forming phase (mainly pinpointed by our FIR selection) to a late radio-loud quasar phase (preferentially sampled by the optical/radio selection).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
