摘要:

使用一个样本的9个大规模的紧凑的星系在z ~ 2.3与休息帧光谱和全面的U通过8 um测光,我们调查如何假设在SED建模改变这些星系的恒星质量估计,以及这如何影响我们的解释它们的大小演变。SED与具有一系列金属丰度、尘埃定律以及不同的恒星星族合成代码的Tau模型相拟合。这些模型表明质量等于或略小于我们的默认质量。对于所考虑的每个参数,最大差异为0.16 dex,对于最极端的参数组合,最大差异仅为0.18 dex。使用Bruzual & Charlot(2003)的模型,最老的恒星星族与年轻的恒星族叠加的双组分星族提供了对这些SED的合理拟合;然而,使用更新的TP-AGB恒星处理的模型,拟合较差。双组分模型预测的质量比Tau模型大0.08至0.22 dex。我们还测试了底光IMF的效果,发现它会使这些星系的质量减少0.3德克斯。考虑到从Tau模型,两个组件的拟合,和IMF的允许质量的范围内,我们得出结论,平均而言,这些星系低于星系的质量大小关系在本地宇宙中的一个因素为3-9,取决于所使用的SED模型。

英文摘要:

Using a sample of nine massive compact galaxies at z ~ 2.3 with rest-frame optical spectroscopy and comprehensive U through 8um photometry we investigate how assumptions in SED modeling change the stellar mass estimates of these galaxies, and how this affects our interpretation of their size evolution. The SEDs are fit to Tau-models with a range of metallicities, dust laws, as well as different stellar population synthesis codes. These models indicate masses equal to, or slightly smaller than our default masses. The maximum difference is 0.16 dex for each parameter considered, and only 0.18 dex for the most extreme combination of parameters. Two-component populations with a maximally old stellar population superposed with a young component provide reasonable fits to these SEDs using the models of Bruzual & Charlot (2003); however, using models with updated treatment of TP-AGB stars the fits are poorer. The two-component models predict masses that are 0.08 to 0.22 dex larger than the Tau-models. We also test the effect of a bottom-light IMF and find that it would reduce the masses of these galaxies by 0.3 dex. Considering the range of allowable masses from the Tau-models, two-component fits, and IMF, we conclude that on average these galaxies lie below the mass-size relation of galaxies in the local universe by a factor of 3-9, depending on the SED models used.
