The rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) morphologies of 8 nearby interacting and starburst galaxies (Arp 269, M 82, Mrk 8, NGC 520, NGC 1068, NGC 3079, NGC 3310, NGC 7673) are compared with 54 galaxies at z ~ 1.5 and 46 galaxies at z ~ 4 observed in the GOODS-ACS field. The nearby sample is artificially redshifted to z ~ 1.5 and 4. We compare the simulated galaxy morphologies to real z ~ 1.5 and 4 UV-bright galaxy morphologies. We calculate the Gini coefficient (G), the second-order moment of the brightest 20% of the galaxy's flux (M_20), and the Sersic index (n). We explore the use of nonparametric methods with 2D profile fitting and find the combination of M_20 with n an efficient method to classify galaxies as having merger, exponential disk, or bulge-like morphologies. When classified according to G and M_20, 20/30% of real/simulated galaxies at z ~ 1.5 and 37/12% at z ~ 4 have bulge-like morphologies. The rest have merger-like or intermediate distributions. Alternatively, when classified according to the Sersic index, 70% of the z ~ 1.5 and z ~ 4 real galaxies are exponential disks or bulge-like with n > 0.8, and ~30% of the real galaxies are classified as mergers. The artificially redshifted galaxies have n values with ~35% bulge or exponential at z ~ 1.5 and 4. Therefore, ~20-30% of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) have structures similar to local starburst mergers, and may be driven by similar processes. We assume merger-like or clumpy star-forming galaxies in the GOODS field have morphological structure with values n < 0.8 and M_20 > -1.7. We conclude that Mrk 8, NGC 3079, and NGC 7673 have structures similar to those of merger-like and clumpy star-forming galaxies observed at z ~ 1.5 and 4.
On the Last 10 Billion Years of Stellar Mass Growth in Star-Forming Galaxies
恒星形成率-恒星质量关系（SFR-M*）及其演化（即，SFR主序）描述了给定恒星质量和给定红移的星系的增长率。假设现在的恒星形成星系在过去总是恒星形成的，这些增长率观测可以被整合来计算平均恒星形成历史（SFH）。使用这种主序列积分（MSI）方法，我们可以追溯到现在的大质量恒星形成星系，当它们是当前恒星质量的10-20%时。在这些时期的整合是强大的：支持我们的计算的SFR数据是一致的恒星质量密度在这个政权的演变。这些SFH的分析近似。基于积分的结果重申了以前的建议，即目前的恒星形成星系形成几乎所有的恒星质量在z <2. It follows that massive galaxies observed at z>2不是典型的祖先恒星形成星系今天。我们还检查基于MSI的SFH对那些从化石记录的分析推断-从光谱能量分布（SED）的恒星形成星系在斯隆数字巡天，和色星等图（CMD）的矮不规则星系解决恒星。一旦考虑到恒星星族年龄的不确定性，主序列与基于SED的SFH（来自VESPA）非常一致。外推SFR主序星观测到矮星系，我们发现的ACS附近的星系巡天金库和本星系群星系的CMD分析的MSI结果和SFH之间的差异。解析出的矮星系似乎比主序列趋势所暗示的要慢得多，也比质量稍高的SED分析星系慢。这种差异可能标志着SFH测定的问题，但它也可能标志着在最低恒星质量下恒星形成趋势的转变。
We use a robust analytical model together with a high-resolution hydrodynamical cosmological simulation to demonstrate that in a $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) universe, a small fraction of dwarf galaxies inhabiting dark matter (DM) halos in the mass range $3\times 10^{9} \lesssim M_{200} / M_{\odot} \lesssim 10^{10}$ form unusually late ($z<3$) compared to the bulk population of galaxies. These galaxies originate from the interplay between the stochastic growth of DM halos and the existence of a time-dependent DM halo mass below which galaxies do not form. The formation epoch of the simulated …
We report a Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) search for HI 21cm emission from a large sample of star-forming galaxies at $z \approx 1.18 - 1.34$, lying in sub-fields of the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. The search was carried out by co-adding ("stacking") the HI 21cm emission spectra of 857 galaxies, after shifting each galaxy's HI 21cm spectrum to its rest frame. We obtain the $3σ$ upper limit S$_{\rm{HI}} < 2.5 μ$Jy on the average HI 21cm flux density of the 857 galaxies, at a velocity resolution of $\approx 315$ km s$^{-1}$. This yields the $3σ$ constraint M$_{\rm{HI}} < 2.1 \times 10^{10} \…
A majority of the $γ$-ray emission from star-forming galaxies is generated by the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with the interstellar gas and radiation fields. Star-forming galaxies are expected to contribute to both the extragalactic $γ$-ray background and the IceCube astrophysical neutrino flux. Using roughly 10\,years of $γ$-ray data taken by the {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope, in this study we constrain the $γ$-ray properties of star-forming galaxies. We report the detection of 11 bona-fide $γ$-ray emitting galaxies and 2 candidates. Moreover, we show that the cumulative $γ$-ray…
We aim at characterizing the hot phase of the Circum-Galactic Medium in a large sample of galaxies. We stack X-ray events from the SRG/eROSITA eFEDS survey around central galaxies in the GAMA 9hr field to construct radially projected soft X-ray luminosity profiles as a function of their stellar mass and specific star formation rate. We consider samples of quiescent (star-forming) galaxies in the stellar mass range $2\times 10^{10}$ -- $10^{12}$ M$_\odot$ ($3\times 10^9$ -- $6\times10^{11}$ M$_\odot$). For quiescent galaxies, the X-ray profiles are clearly extended throughout the available mass…
Strongly star forming galaxies in the local Universe with nebular He II 4686 emission
我们提出了一个样本的2865强星云He II 4686发射线星系斯隆数字巡天数据发布7，并使用这个样本来调查这条线在恒星形成星系的起源。我们证明了恒星形成星系和由活动星系核控制的星系在He II 4686/Hβ与[N II] 6584/Hα诊断图中形成了明显分离的分支，并导出了分离这两类星系的经验分类方案。我们还提出了一个分析的物理性质的189个恒星形成的星系与强大的He II 4686的排放。这些恒星形成星系提供了对大质量恒星的硬电离连续体的限制。为了与观测结果进行定量比较，我们使用光电离模型，并研究不同的恒星星族模型如何影响预测的He II 4686发射。我们证实了以前的研究结果，模型可以预测He II 4686发射只有20%的太阳金属丰度或更高的瞬时爆发，只有4 - 5万年的年龄，当极紫外线连续的时期是由沃尔夫-拉叶星的发射为主。然而，我们发现，83的恒星形成星系（40%）在我们的样本中没有沃尔夫-拉叶特征的光谱，尽管显示出强大的星云He II 4686发射。我们讨论了可能的原因，这和可能的机制，在这些星系中的He II 4686发射。
We first present a catalogue of photometric redshifts for 14.68 million galaxies derived from the 7-band photometric data of Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer using the nearest-neighbour algorithm. The redshift uncertainty is about 0.024 for galaxies of z<0.7, and steadily increases with redshift to about 0.11 at z~2. From such a large data set, we identify 21,661 clusters of galaxies, among which 5537 clusters have redshifts z>1 and 642 clusters have z>1.5, significantly enlarging the high redshift sample of galaxy clusters. Cluster richnes…
We present an analysis of anomaly detection for machine learning redshift estimation. Anomaly detection allows the removal of poor training examples, which can adversely influence redshift estimates. Anomalous training examples may be photometric galaxies with incorrect spectroscopic redshifts, or galaxies with one or more poorly measured photometric quantity. We select 2.5 million 'clean' SDSS DR12 galaxies with reliable spectroscopic redshifts, and 6730 'anomalous' galaxies with spectroscopic redshift measurements which are flagged as unreliable. We contaminate the clean base galaxy sample w…
Red star-forming and blue passive galaxies in clusters
本文研究了位于低红移（z<0.12）星系团及其周围的6，000多个星系（M_r<=-20.5）的颜色与比恒星形成率（由SDSS DR 4获得的光谱）的关系。尽管大多数红色星系很少或没有正在形成的恒星，大多数蓝色星系目前正在形成恒星，但仍有大量的红色恒星形成（SF）和蓝色被动星系。本文探讨属于后两类星系的各种属性。这些特征包括形态参数、内消光、EW（H_delta）和4000角间断等光谱特征以及金属丰度。我们的分析表明，蓝色被动星系的性质非常相似，他们的SF同行，除了他们的大范围的EW（H_delta）表明最近截断的恒星形成。红色SF星系分为两大类，一类是星系团核心中的大质量星系，主要由古老的恒星星族组成，但核心中有恒星形成的证据。对于其余的红色SF星系，从各种金属丰度测量和平均恒星年龄可以明显看出，它们的颜色是由富含金属的恒星星族占优势造成的。这些SF星系的性质对环境研究的影响，如布彻Oemler效应，进行了讨论。
