1.7<z<3时的极紧凑大质量Galerkin

Extremely Compact Massive Galaxies at 1.7<z<3

Fernando Buitrago, Ignacio Trujillo, Christopher J. Conselice

摘要:

我们测量和分析了82个质量(M &gt;= 10^11 M_Sun)星系在1.7&lt;z 2处的大小<3 utilizing deep HST NICMOS data taken in the GOODS North and South fields. Our sample provides the first statistical study of massive galaxy sizes at z>.我们将样本分为盘状星系(Sersic指数n&lt;=2)和球状星系(Sersic指数n&gt;2),发现在给定恒星质量下,z~2.3的盘状星系比今天的等质量系统小2.6+/-0.3倍,而相同红移的球状星系比今天的相对大质量椭圆星系小4.3+/-0.7倍。我们还发现,z~2.5的超大质量星系的恒星质量密度与现今的球状星团相似,其值约为2 × 10^10 M_Sun kpc^-3

英文摘要:

We measure and analyse the sizes of 82 massive (M >= 10^11 M_Sun) galaxies at 1.7<z<3 utilizing deep HST NICMOS data taken in the GOODS North and South fields. Our sample provides the first statistical study of massive galaxy sizes at z>2. We split our sample into disk-like (Sersic index n<=2) and spheroid-like (Sersic index n>2) galaxies, and find that at a given stellar mass, disk-like galaxies at z~2.3 are a factor of 2.6+/-0.3 smaller than present day equal mass systems, and spheroid-like galaxies at the same redshift are 4.3+/-0.7 times smaller than comparatively massive elliptical galaxies today. We furthermore show that the stellar mass densities of very massive galaxies at z~2.5 are similar to present-day globular clusters with values ~2x10^10 M_Sun kpc^-3
