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
A cosmological model describing the early inflation, the intermediate decelerating expansion, and the late accelerating expansion by a quadratic equation of state
我们发展了一个基于二次状态方程p/c^2=-(α+1){ρ^2}/{ρ_P}+αρ-(α+1)ρ_Λ(其中ρ_P是普朗克密度,ρ_Λ是宇宙学密度)的宇宙学模型,它以广义Chaubergin气体模型的精神“统一”了真空能量和暗能量.对于$ρ\rightarrow ρ_P$,它降低到p=-ρ c ^2,导致早期加速膨胀(早期暴胀)阶段,密度等于普朗克密度ρ_P(真空能量)。对于$ρ_Λ\llρ\ll ρ_P$,我们恢复了描述辐射(α=1/3)或无压物质(α=0)的标准线性状态方程p=αρc^2,并导致减速膨胀的中间阶段。对于$ρ\rightarrow ρ_Λ$,我们得到p=-ρc^2,导致后期加速膨胀(后期暴胀)阶段,其恒定密度等于宇宙学密度ρ_Λ(暗能量)。我们发现早期宇宙(真空能量+ α流体)和晚期宇宙(α流体+暗能量)之间存在一个很好的对称性。在我们的模型中,它们分别由两个指数为n=+1和n=-1的多方状态方程描述。此外,普朗克密度ρ_P在早期宇宙中所起的作用与宇宙学密度ρ_Λ在晚期宇宙中所起的作用相似。它们代表了基本的密度上限和下限,相差122个数量级。这个二次状态方程导致了一个完全的分析模型,描述了宇宙从早期的膨胀(普朗克时代)到晚期的加速膨胀(德西特时代)的演化。这两个阶段由减速代数展开(α-era)连接。这个模型在t=0时不存在任何奇点,并且永远存在于过去。它允许基于精华…
