摘要

We obtained mid-infrared 3.6 and 4.5 μm imaging of a z = 6.96 Lyα emitter (LAE), IOK-1, discovered in the Subaru Deep Field, using Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera observations. After removal of a nearby bright source, we found that IOK-1 is not significantly detected in any of these infrared bands m_(3.6μm) to ~ 24.00 and m_(4.5μm) ~23.54 at 3. Fitting population synthesis models to the spectral energy distribution consisting of the upper limit fluxes of the optical-to-infrared non-detection images and fluxes in detection images, we constrained the stellar mass, M _*, of IOK-1. This LAE could have either a mass as low as M_* < .= 2-9 X 10~8 M_⊙ for young age (< .= 10 Myr) and low dust reddening (A_v ~ 0) or a mass as large as M_* < .= 1-4 X 10 M_⊙ for either old age (> 100 Myr) or high dust reddening (A_v ~ 1.5). This would be within the range of masses of z ~ 3-6.6 LAEs studied to date, ~10~6 -10 ~(10) M_⊙. Hence, IOK-1 is not a particularly unique galaxy with extremely high mass or low mass, but is similar to one of the LAEs seen at later epochs.
