中等红移的凸核的基本面

The Fundamental Plane of Bulges at Intermediate Redshift

Lauren A. MacArthur, Richard S. Ellis, Tommaso Treu

摘要:

我们报告的一项新的研究,旨在了解的多样性和演化特性的遥远的星系凸起的背景下,完善的纯球状星系的趋势。在红移0.1 < z < 1.2的范围内,对137个旋涡星系在GOODS场中的核球进行了分离。使用成熟的测光技术,我们确定每个星系的特征参数(大小,表面亮度,轮廓形状)在4个GOODS-ACS成像带的磁盘和凸起组件。利用凯克星上的DEIMOS摄谱仪,可以精确地观测到相当大一部分凸起的恒星速度色散。这使我们能够比较我们的基本面遥远的凸起与场球状星系在一个类似的红移范围。在膨胀与总光度比(B/T)> 0.2的螺旋星系中,膨胀的演化模式与低光度椭球体非常相似。到一阶,它们最近的大规模组装历史是等价的。

英文摘要:

We report on a new study aimed at understanding the diversity and evolutionary properties of distant galactic bulges in the context of well-established trends for pure spheroidal galaxies. Bulges have been isolated for a sample of 137 spiral galaxies in the GOODS fields within the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.2. Using proven photometric techniques we determine for each galaxy the characteristic parameters (size, surface brightness, profile shape) in the 4 GOODS-ACS imaging bands of both the disk and bulge components. Using the DEIMOS spectrograph on Keck, precision stellar velocity dispersions were secured for a sizeable fraction of the bulges. This has enabled us to compare the Fundamental Plane of our distant bulges with that of field spheroidal galaxies in a similar redshift range. Bulges in spiral galaxies with a bulge-to-total luminosity ratio (B/T) > 0.2 show very similar patterns of evolution to those seen for low luminosity spheroidals. To first order, their recent mass assembly histories are equivalent.
