The Nature of GRB-selected Submillimeter Galaxies: Hot and Young

We present detailed fits of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of four submillimeter galaxies selected by the presence of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) event (GRBs 980703, 000210, 000418, and 010222). These faint similar to 3 mJy submillimeter emitters at redshift similar to 1 are characterized by a...

Zusammenfassung:We present detailed fits of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of four submillimeter galaxies selected by the presence of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) event (GRBs 980703, 000210, 000418, and 010222). These faint similar to 3 mJy submillimeter emitters at redshift similar to 1 are characterized by an unusual combination of long- and short-wavelength properties, namely enhanced submillimeter and/or radio emission combined with optical faintness and blue colors. We exclude an active galactic nucleus as the source of long-wavelength emission. From the SED fits, we conclude that the four galaxies are young (ages
