摘要:

我们结合了来自重叠的9.3平方度NOAO深宽视场巡天(NDWFS),AGN和星系演化巡天(AGES)以及XBootes巡天的IR,光学和X射线数据,以测量6146个正常星系的X射线演化,作为绝对光学光度,红移和光谱类型的函数,在很大程度上未探索的红移范围0.1 < z < 0.5。因为只有最近或最亮的星系在X射线中被单独检测到,我们使用叠加分析来确定样本的平均属性。我们的研究结果表明,光谱晚型星系的X射线辐射主要是由恒星形成,而从早型星系的主要是由热气体和活动星系核发射的组合。我们发现,平均恒星形成和超大质量黑洞吸积速率密度的演化类似于(1+z)^[3],这与在明亮的、可单独探测的星暴星系和活动星系核样本中发现的趋势一致。我们的工作也证实了许多以前的叠加分析微弱的源人口的结果,改进的统计。

英文摘要:

We combine IR, optical and X-ray data from the overlapping, 9.3 square degree NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS), AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES), and XBootes Survey to measure the X-ray evolution of 6146 normal galaxies as a function of absolute optical luminosity, redshift, and spectral type over the largely unexplored redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.5. Because only the closest or brightest of the galaxies are individually detected in X-rays, we use a stacking analysis to determine the mean properties of the sample. Our results suggest that X-ray emission from spectroscopically late-type galaxies is dominated by star formation, while that from early-type galaxies is dominated by a combination of hot gas and AGN emission. We find that the mean star formation and supermassive black hole accretion rate densities evolve like (1+z)^3, in agreement with the trends found for samples of bright, individually detectable starburst galaxies and AGN. Our work also corroborates the results of many previous stacking analyses of faint source populations, with improved statistics.
