摘要:

本文介绍了在DEEP 2星系红移巡天中对z~1处星系团的颜色和光度依赖性的测量结果。在颜色和亮度两个区间中使用体积有限的子样本,我们发现:1)聚类对颜色的依赖性比对亮度的依赖性强得多,并且在z~1处与局部发现的颜色一样强。我们发现没有依赖的集群振幅的颜色星系的红色序列,但显着的依赖颜色的星系内的蓝色云。2)对于L/L*~0.7-2范围内的星系,所有星系的大尺度光度依赖性都比红星系和蓝星系的大尺度光度依赖性强。对于蓝星系,小尺度成团振幅与光度有显著的相关性,当rp <0.5Mpc/h时,较亮的样本团振幅有较大的上升。3)红星系表现出更强的小尺度红移空间畸变(“上帝的手指”),红星系和蓝星系由于相干的坍缩,在xi(r_p,pi)上都表现出大尺度的畸变。4)虽然聚类长度r_0随星系颜色(在窄区间内)平滑增加,但其幂律指数gamma从蓝色云到红色序列呈现急剧跳跃。中间颜色的“绿色”星系群可能包括从蓝色星云向红色序列移动的过渡星系;在大尺度上,绿色星系和红色星系一样聚集,但显示出类似于蓝色星系群的下落运动学和小尺度相关斜率。5)我们将我们的结果与应用于Millenium Run模拟的半解析星系形成模型进行比较。数据和模型之间的差异表明,在模型中,卫星星系中的恒星形成被关闭得太有效了。

英文摘要:

We present measurements of the color and luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering at z~1 in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using volume-limited subsamples in bins of both color and luminosity, we find that: 1) The clustering dependence is much stronger with color than with luminosity and is as strong with color at z~1 as is found locally. We find no dependence of the clustering amplitude on color for galaxies on the red sequence, but a significant dependence on color for galaxies within the blue cloud. 2) For galaxies in the range L/L*~0.7-2, a stronger large-scale luminosity dependence is seen for all galaxies than for red and blue galaxies separately. The small-scale clustering amplitude depends significantly on luminosity for blue galaxies, with brighter samples having a stronger rise on scales r_p<0.5 Mpc/h. 3) Redder galaxies exhibit stronger small-scale redshift-space distortions ("fingers of god"), and both red and blue populations show large-scale distortions in xi(r_p,pi) due to coherent infall. 4) While the clustering length, r_0, increases smoothly with galaxy color (in narrow bins), its power-law exponent, gamma, exhibits a sharp jump from the blue cloud to the red sequence. The intermediate color `green' galaxy population likely includes transitional galaxies moving from the blue cloud to the red sequence; on large scales green galaxies are as clustered as red galaxies but show infall kinematics and a small-scale correlation slope akin to the blue galaxy population. 5) We compare our results to a semi-analytic galaxy formation model applied to the Millenium Run simulation. Differences between the data and the model suggest that in the model star formation is shut down too efficiently in satellite galaxies.
