ISOCAM mid-infrared detection of HR 10: A distant clone of Arp 220 at z = 1.44

Résumé

We report the detection of the extremely red object (ERO), HR 10 (I-K ~ 6.5, z=1.44), at 4.9 and 6.1 mu m (rest-frame) with ISOCAM, the mid-infrared (MIR) camera onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). HR 10 is the first ERO spectroscopically identified to be associated with an ultra-luminous IR galaxy (ULIG) detected in the radio, MIR and sub-millimeter. The rest-frame spectral energy distribution (SED) of HR 10 is amazingly similar to the one of Arp 220, scaled by a factor 3.8 /-1.3. The corresponding 8-1000 mu m luminosity ( ~ 7x1012 h70-2 Lsun) translates into a star formation rate of about 1200 h70-2 Msun yr-1 if HR 10 is mostly powered by star formation. We address the key issue of the origin of the powerful luminosity of HR 10, i.e. starburst versus active galactic nucleus (AGN), by using the similarity with its closeby clone, Arp 220.
