自z=1以来恒星盘截断的演化

Evolution of stellar disk truncations since z=1

Ignacio Trujillo, Ruyman Azzollini, Judit Bakos, John Beckman, Michael Pohlen

摘要:

本文介绍我们最近对盘星系外围宇宙演化的研究结果。特别是我们专注于与恒星盘截断盘状星系。使用UDF,GOODS和SDSS数据,我们展示了如何突破的位置(即恒星盘的大小的直接估计)随着时间的推移,因为z~1。我们的研究结果同意的演变的径向位置上的断裂的一个因素的1.3+-0.1在最后8个Gyr的星系具有类似的恒星质量。我们还介绍了径向颜色梯度以及它们如何随时间演变。在所有的红移中,我们发现一个径向的由内而外的蓝化在破裂半径的位置达到最小值,这个最小值之后是向外的红化。我们的研究结果限制了几个星系盘形成模型,并有利于恒星在断裂半径内形成,并通过长期过程在星系外围重新定位的情况。

英文摘要:

We present our recent results on the cosmic evolution of the outskirst of disk galaxies. In particular we focus on disk-like galaxies with stellar disk truncations. Using UDF, GOODS and SDSS data we show how the position of the break (i.e. a direct estimator of the size of the stellar disk) evolves with time since z~1. Our findings agree with an evolution on the radial position of the break by a factor of 1.3+-0.1 in the last 8 Gyr for galaxies with similar stellar masses. We also present radial color gradients and how they evolve with time. At all redshift we find a radial inside-out bluing reaching a minimum at the position of the break radius, this minimum is followed by a reddening outwards. Our results constraint several galaxy disk formation models and favour a scenario where stars are formed inside the break radius and are relocated in the outskirts of galaxies through secular processes.
