摘要:

利用[OII]发射体的比例和星系的局部密度,研究了COSMOS场中z=1.2时星系中恒星形成活动与环境的关系.在星系的表面密度介于0.2 ~ 10 Mpc^-2之间时,[OII]发射体的比例几乎是恒定的。这一趋势与在局部宇宙中看到的不同,在局部宇宙中,恒星形成活动在密度较高的区域较弱。为了理解z~1和z~0之间的差异,我们研究了非孤立星系的比例作为局部星系密度的函数。我们发现非孤立星系的比例随着密度的增加而增加。我们的研究结果表明,星系中z~1处的恒星形成是由星系相互作用或合并触发的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relation between the star-formation activity in galaxies and environment at z=1.2 in the COSMOS field, using the fraction of [OII] emitters and the local galaxy density. The fraction of [OII] emitters appears to be almost constant over the surface density of galaxies between 0.2 and 10 Mpc^-2. This trend is different from that seen in the local universe where the star-formation activity is weaker in higher density regions. To understand this difference between z~1 and z~0, we study the fraction of non-isolated galaxies as a function of local galaxy density. We find that the fraction of non-isolated galaxies increases with increasing density. Our results suggest that the star formation in galaxies at z~1 is triggered by galaxy interaction and/or mergers.
