摘要:

结合GALEX紫外成像和SDSS光谱样品,我们测量了大样品的投影空间关联函数w_p(r_p)。我们研究了所选样本的成团强度对(NUV-r)_abs颜色、比恒星形成率(SSFR)和恒星质量的依赖性。我们发现,有一个平滑的过渡,在星系的集群作为这种颜色的函数,从蓝色星系之间的弱集群到红色星系的强集群。“绿谷”内的星系团具有中等强度,与星系团的预期一致。结果对尘埃消光的校正是稳健的。与简单的分析模型的比较表明,晕占领数增加与旧的恒星形成时期。当按照SSFR分裂时,我们发现SSFR是比恒星质量更敏感的环境示踪剂。

英文摘要:

We measure the projected spatial correlation function w_p(r_p) from a large sample combining GALEX ultraviolet imaging with the SDSS spectroscopic sample. We study the dependence of the clustering strength for samples selected on (NUV - r)_abs color, specific star formation rate (SSFR), and stellar mass. We find that there is a smooth transition in the clustering of galaxies as a function of this color from weak clustering among blue galaxies to stronger clustering for red galaxies. The clustering of galaxies within the "green valley" has an intermediate strength, and is consistent with that expected from galaxy groups. The results are robust to the correction for dust extinction. The comparison with simple analytical modeling suggests that the halo occupation number increases with older star formation epochs. When splitting according to SSFR, we find that the SSFR is a more sensitive tracer of environment than stellar mass.
