摘要:

宇宙演化巡天计划(Cosmic Evolution Survey,COSMOS)首次允许对红移1的环境和结构进行非常重要的普查,以及对星系人口的完整形态描述。在本文中,我们提出了一个研究,旨在约束的演化,在红移范围0.2 < z < 1.2,不同形态类型的质量含量及其对环境密度的依赖性。我们使用的是一个深星表,覆盖了COSMOS场中约0.7平方度的区域,具有精确的光度红移(i < 26.5和dz/(z+1)~ 0.035)。我们估计星系恒星质量的多色测光拟合复合恒星星族模型的网格。我们定量描述的星系形态拟合PSF卷积Sersic配置文件的星系表面亮度分布下降到F814 = 24 MAG的样本41300对象。我们确认的形态与红移混合的演变:更高的红移盘占主导地位的星系变得重要。我们发现,形态的混合是一个函数的本地共动密度:形态密度关系延伸到最高的红移探索。盘控星系的恒星质量函数与红移常数是一致的。相反,膨胀主导系统的恒星质量函数显示出随红移归一化的下降。晚型和早型恒星质量函数的这种不同行为,自然决定了过渡质量的红移演化。删节

英文摘要:

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) allows for the first time a highly significant census of environments and structures up to redshift one, as well as a full morphological description of the galaxy population. In this paper we present a study aimed to constrain the evolution, in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1.2, of the mass content of different morphological types and its dependence on the environmental density. We use a deep multicolor catalog, covering an area of ~0.7 square degrees inside the COSMOS field, with accurate photometric redshifts (i < 26.5 and dz/(z+1) ~ 0.035). We estimate galaxy stellar masses by fitting the multi-color photometry to a grid of composite stellar population models. We quantitatively describe the galaxy morphology by fitting PSF convolved Sersic profiles to the galaxy surface brightness distributions down to F814 = 24 mag for a sample of 41300 objects. We confirm an evolution of the morphological mix with redshift: the higher the redshift the more disk-dominated galaxies become important. We find that the morphological mix is a function of the local comoving density: the morphology density relation extends up to the highest redshift explored. The stellar mass function of disk-dominated galaxies is consistent with being constant with redshift. Conversely, the stellar mass function of bulge-dominated systems shows a decline in normalization with redshift. Such different behaviors of late-types and early-types stellar mass functions naturally set the redshift evolution of the transition mass. ABRIDGED
