我们利用我们先前发表的VLT/FORS 2吸收线光谱的空间信息,测量了25个场早型星系的平均恒星速度和速度色散分布,中位红移z=0.97(全范围0.6<z<1.2)。这提供了第一个详细的研究早期类型的星系旋转在这些红移。从HST成像的表面亮度分布,我们计算两个积分扁圆轴对称的Jeans方程模型所观察到的运动学。适合每个星系的旋转支持度和质量与光的比率M/L_牛仔裤的数据产量。S 0和Sa星系通常是旋转支撑的,而椭圆星系旋转速度较慢或根本不旋转。直到M(B)=-19.5(校正光度演化),我们没有发现在z=1(63+/-11%)和现在(61+/-5%)之间旋转的早期型(E+ S 0)星系的演化证据。我们解释这作为证据很少或没有变化的领域S 0分数红移。我们比较了M/L_Jeans和M/L_vir,它们是由维里定理和全局平均量推导出来的,并假设同源演化。有很好的协议,非旋转(主要是E)星系。然而,对于旋转支撑星系(主要是S 0),M/L_Jeans平均比M/L_vir高约40%。我们讨论了可能的解释和影响的M/L之间的z=1和本和它的依赖于质量的演变。
英文摘要:
We use the spatial information of our previously published VLT/FORS2 absorption line spectroscopy to measure mean stellar velocity and velocity dispersion profiles of 25 field early-type galaxies at a median redshift z=0.97 (full range 0.6<z<1.2). This provides the first detailed study of early-type galaxy rotation at these redshifts. From surface brightness profiles from HST imaging we calculate two-integral oblate axisymmetric Jeans equation models for the observed kinematics. Fits to the data yield for each galaxy the degree of rotational support and the mass-to-light ratio M/L_Jeans. S0 and Sa galaxies are generally rotationally supported, whereas elliptical galaxies rotate less rapidly or not at all. Down to M(B)=-19.5 (corrected for luminosity evolution), we find no evidence for evolution in the fraction of rotating early-type (E+S0) galaxies between z=1 (63+/-11%) and the present (61+/-5%). We interpret this as evidence for little or no change in the field S0 fraction with redshift. We compare M/L_Jeans with M/L_vir inferred from the virial theorem and globally averaged quantities and assuming homologous evolution. There is good agreement for non-rotating (mostly E) galaxies. However, for rotationally supported galaxies (mostly S0) M/L_Jeans is on average ~40% higher than M/L_vir. We discuss possible explanations and the implications for the evolution of M/L between z=1 and the present and its dependence on mass.
