Dust Properties of 870 Micron Selected Galaxies in the GOODS-S [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2305.06388


We analyze the dust properties of 57 870 $\mu$m selected dusty star-forming galaxies in the GOODS-S using new deep ALMA 1.2 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm continuum imaging together with other far-infrared through millimeter data. We fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with optically thin modified blackbodies to constrain the emissivity indices and effective dust temperatures, finding a median emissivity index of $\beta = 1.78^{+0.43}{-0.25}$ and a median temperature of $T_d = 33.6^{+12.1}{-5.4}$ K. We observe a negative correlation between $\beta$ and $T_d$. By testing several SED models, we determine that the derived emissivity indices can be influenced by opacity assumptions. Our temperature measurements are consistent with no evolution in dust temperature with redshift.
