Abstract

We present an analysis of a deep (1 σ = 13 μ Jy) cosmological 1.2 mm continuum map based on ASPECS, the ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. In the 1 arcmin 2 covered by ASPECS we detect nine sources at significance at 1.2 mm. Our ALMA-selected sample has a median redshift of , with only one galaxy detected at z > 2 within the survey area. This value is significantly lower than that found in millimeter samples selected at a higher flux density cutoff and similar frequencies. Most galaxies have specific star formation rates (SFRs) similar to that of main-sequence galaxies at the same epoch, and we find median values of stellar mass and SFRs of and yr −1 , respectively. Using the dust emission as a tracer for the interstellar medium (ISM) mass, we derive depletion times that are typically longer than 300 Myr, and we find molecular gas fractions ranging from ∼0.1 to 1.0. As noted by previous studies, these values are lower than those using CO-based ISM estimates by a factor of ∼2. The 1 mm number counts (corrected for fidelity and completeness) are in agreement with previous studies that were typically restricted to brighter sources. With our individual detections only, we recover 55% ± 4% of the extragalactic background light (EBL) at 1.2 mm measured by the Planck satellite, and we recover 80% ± 7% of this EBL if we include the bright end of the number counts and additional detections from stacking. The stacked contribution is dominated by galaxies at , with stellar masses of (1–3) × 10 10 M . For the first time, we are able to characterize the population of galaxies that dominate the EBL at 1.2 mm.

  • The probability of finding a background galaxy within the annulus representing a 35 km/s free-floating object is 0.0029 (1 in 341).

    “and the probability of finding a galaxy within the annulus representing a 35 km = s free-floating object is 0.0029, or 1 in 341.”

    From ALMA and NACO observations towards the young exoring transit system J1407 (V1400 Cen) (2020) · cites this paper as Aravena et al. 2016

    Section 4 (Number Counts; page unavailable) reports galaxy counts per unit area, but does not calculate the probability of finding a galaxy in an annulus around a 35 km/s free-floating object. Searches for the annulus, 0.0029, and 1 in 341 found no matching calculation in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

  • The probability of finding a background galaxy with flux ≥89 μJy within a radius of 0.5 arcsec is about 0.0047 (1 in 212).

    “The probability of finding more than zero galaxies within a radius of 0 : 5 arcseconds is around 0.0047, or 1 in 212”

    From ALMA and NACO observations towards the young exoring transit system J1407 (V1400 Cen) (2020) · cites this paper as Aravena et al. 2016

    Section 4 (Number Counts; page unavailable) reports cumulative 1.2 mm source counts, but the retrieved passages do not give a probability for a galaxy of at least 89 μJy within 0.5 arcsec. Searches for 0.0047, 1 in 212, the flux threshold, and chance associations did not locate the claimed calculation in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
