摘要:

我们使用Chandra深场南(CDFS)中0.89<z<1.15的矮星系(8.4 < log(M*/Msun)< 10)的K选择(22.5 <KAB < 24.0)样本来测量它们对全球恒星形成率密度(SFRD)的贡献,这是从它们的[OII]通量推断的。通过与基于[OII]的对更大恒星质量星系的研究进行比较,我们稳健地测量了在恒星质量为M~10^10 Msun时[OII]光度密度的变化。通过与Sloan Digital Sky Survey测量的基于[OII]的SFRD比较,我们确认,虽然最低质量星系的SFRD随时间变化很小,但质量更大的星系的SFRD会强烈演化,从而在z = 1时占主导地位。

英文摘要:

We use a K-selected (22.5 < K_AB < 24.0) sample of dwarf galaxies (8.4 < log(M*/Msun) < 10) at 0.89<z<1.15 in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) to measure their contribution to the global star-formation rate density (SFRD), as inferred from their [OII] flux. By comparing with [OII]-based studies of higher stellar mass galaxies, we robustly measure a turnover in the [OII] luminosity density at a stellar mass of M~10^10 Msun. By comparison with the [OII]-based SFRD measured from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we confirm that, while the SFRD of the lowest-mass galaxies changes very little with time, the SFRD of more massive galaxies evolves strongly, such that they dominate the SFRD at z = 1.
