摘要:

我们提出了在z ~ 0.8的颜色-星等关系(CMR)的建立的环境依赖性。已经确定的是,大质量早型星系在至少z ~ 1的星系团中表现出紧密的CMR。然而,由于数据的深度有限,对这种关系的模糊端的探索要少得多,特别是在高红移时。最近的一些论文报道了在CMR上0.8 < z < 1的暗红色星系的赤字,但这还没有得到很好的证实,仍然存在争议。利用斯巴鲁望远镜上的主焦点相机(Suprime-Cam)新拍摄的遥远星系团RXJ1716.4+6708在z=0.81处的深多色全景成像数据集,我们对微弱的红色星系进行了分析。我们发现,在M*+2以下的CMR暗端,红星系的数量急剧下降。我们比较我们的结果与其他集群在z ~ 0.8从文献中,显示或不显示赤字。我们认为,“赤字”的微弱的红色星系是依赖于丰富的或质量的集群,在这个意义上说,穷人的系统显示更强的赤字。这表明质量较小的星系的演化阶段主要取决于环境。

英文摘要:

We present environmental dependence of the build-up of the colour-magnitude relation (CMR) at z ~ 0.8. It is well established that massive early-type galaxies exhibit a tight CMR in clusters up to at least z ~ 1. The faint end of the relation, however, has been much less explored especially at high redshifts primarily due to limited depths of the data. Some recent papers have reported a deficit of the faint red galaxies on the CMR at 0.8 < z < 1, but this has not been well confirmed yet and is still controversial. Using a deep, multi-colour, panoramic imaging data set of the distant cluster RXJ1716.4+6708 at z=0.81, newly taken with the Prime Focus Camera (Suprime-Cam) on the Subaru Telescope, we carry out an analysis of faint red galaxies with a care for incompleteness. We find that there is a sharp decline in the number of red galaxies toward the faint end of the CMR below M*+2. We compare our result with those for other clusters at z ~ 0.8 taken from the literature, which show or do not show the deficit. We suggest that the "deficit" of faint red galaxies is dependent on the richness or mass of the clusters, in the sense that poorer systems show stronger deficits. This indicates that the evolutionary stage of less massive galaxies depends critically on environment.
