Abstract

Methods. We performed measurements of the \MgII, \MgI, \FeIIa, \FeIIb, and \FeIIc\ spectral lines present in the spectra of the selected sample to determine the EW and velocity of the flows observed in the star-forming galaxies. Subsequently, we conducted 10710^7 bootstrap simulations using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (ρs\rho_s) to explore correlations with galaxy properties. Furthermore, we calculated the covering factor, gas density, and optical depth for the measured \ion{Fe}{II} doublets. Results. Our analysis revealed strong correlations between the EW of \ion{Mg}{II} lines and both MM_{*} (ρs=0.43\rho_s=0.43, 4.5σ\sigma) and SFR (ρs=0.42\rho_s=0.42, 4.4σ\sigma). For the \ion{Fe}{II} lines, we observed strong correlations between the EW and SFR (ρs0.65\rho_s\sim0.65, >3.9σ>3.9\sigma), with a weaker correlation for MM_{*} (ρs0.35\rho_s\sim0.35, >1.9σ>1.9\sigma). No notable correlations were found between velocity measurements of \ion{Mg}{II} line and MM_{*}, SFR, or sSFR of the objects (ρs0.1)\rho_s\sim0.1). However, a negative strong correlation was found between the velocity of the \ion{Fe}{II} lines and the SFR of the galaxies (ρs0.45\rho_s\sim-0.45, 3σ\sim3\sigma). Our results align with previous studies but studying FIR-selected objects. Finally, we detected a candidate \textit{loitering outflow}, a recently discovered subtype of FeLoBAL quasar, at redshift of z=1.4399z=1.4399, exhibiting emission in \ion{C}{III}] and low line velocities (v|v|\lesssim 200 km/s).
