星系质量集合的尺度依赖性

The scale dependence of mass assembly in galaxies

Abilio Mateus, Raul Jimenez, Enrique Gaztanaga

摘要:

我们比较了斯隆数字巡天的样本中的星系的标记相关分析的结果,并从两个星系的半分析星系形成模型千年模拟实现的目录。我们使用MOPED方法来检索观测星系的恒星形成历史,并使用恒星形成参数作为标记相关性的权重。我们发现一个很好的匹配模型和观测时,标记相关使用恒星质量和光度作为权重。最显着的结果是与标记相关的质量组装通过星系中的恒星形成的演变,在那里我们发现,半分析模型能够再现观测数据中看到的主要趋势。此外,我们发现由模型预测的恒星形成所形成的平均总质量的红移演化与MOPED测量的结果之间有很好的一致性。我们的研究结果表明,今天的紧密星系对形成的恒星质量比平均水平高出约10 Gyr,而最近的趋势则相反,紧密星系对显示出低水平的恒星形成活动。我们还显示了很强的相关性,在模拟之间的形状和时间演化的恒星形成的标志和星系经历的主要合并的数量,驱动环境的依赖,通过调节恒星形成过程中的星系形成。

英文摘要:

We compare the results of the mark correlation analysis of galaxies in a sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and from two galaxy catalogs obtained by semi-analytical galaxy formation models implemented on the Millennium Simulation. We use the MOPED method to retrieve the star formation history of observed galaxies and use star formation parameters as weights to the mark correlations. We find an excellent match between models and observations when the mark correlations use stellar mass and luminosity as weights. The most remarkable result is related to the mark correlations associated to the evolution of mass assembly through star formation in galaxies, where we find that semi-analytical models are able to reproduce the main trends seen in the observational data. In addition, we find a good agreement between the redshift evolution of the mean total mass formed by star formation predicted by the models and that measured by MOPED. Our results show that close galaxy pairs today formed more stellar mass ~10 Gyr ago than the average, while more recently this trend is the opposite, with close pairs showing low levels of star formation activity. We also show a strong correlation in simulations between the shape and time evolution of the star formation marks and the number of major mergers experienced by galaxies, which drive the environmental dependence in galaxy formation by regulating the star formation process.
