ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey: Properties of Millimeter Galaxies Hosting X-Ray-detected Active Galactic Nuclei

Abstract

We report the multiwavelength properties of millimeter galaxies hosting X-ray detected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). ALCS is an extensive survey of well-studied lensing clusters with ALMA, covering an area of 133 arcmin2 over 33 clusters with a 1.2 mm flux-density limit of ∼60 μJy (1σ). Utilizing the archival data of Chandra, we identify three AGNs at z = 1.06, 2.09, and 2.84 among the 180 millimeter sources securely detected in the ALCS (of which 155 are inside the coverage of Chandra). The X-ray spectral analysis shows that two AGNs are not significantly absorbed ( log N H / cm − 2 < 23 ), while the other shows signs of moderate absorption ( log N H / cm − 2 ∼ 23.5 ). We also perform spectral energy distribution modeling of X-ray to millimeter photometry. We find that our X-ray AGN sample shows both high mass-accretion rates (intrinsic 0.5-8 keV X-ray luminosities of ∼1044-45 erg s−1) and star formation rates (≳100 M ⊙ yr−1). This demonstrates that a wide-area survey with ALMA and Chandra can selectively detect intense growth of both galaxies and supermassive black holes in the high-redshift universe. © 2023.
