BLAST星系恒星形成历史的演化

Evolution of the star formation histories of BLAST galaxies

Simon Dye, Steve Eales, Lorenzo Moncelsi, Enzo Pascale

摘要:

我们已经测量了恒星形成的历史(SFHS)和恒星质量的星系探测到的大口径亚毫米望远镜(BLAST)超过约9平方度的钱德拉深场南。我们应用Dye等人最近发展的SFH重建方法对92个BLAST星系进行了光学、近红外和中红外测光。我们发现低质量星系(<10^11 M_sol)和高质量星系(>10^11 M_sol)的SFH存在显著差异。平均而言,低质量星系表现出主导的恒星形成后期爆发,这创造了它们恒星质量的很大一部分。相反,高质量系统往往有大量的恒星质量,形成得更早。我们还发现,高质量的SFH演化更强烈比低质量的SFH。这些发现与在光学选择的星系样本中观察到的缩小现象是一致的。

英文摘要:

We have measured star formation histories (SFHs) and stellar masses of galaxies detected by the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Sub-millimetre Telescope (BLAST) over approximately 9 square degrees centred on the Chandra Deep Field South. We have applied the recently developed SFH reconstruction method of Dye et al. to optical, near-infrared and mid-infrared photometry of 92 BLAST galaxies. We find significant differences between the SFHs of low mass (<10^11 M_sol) and high mass (>10^11 M_sol) galaxies. On average, low mass galaxies exhibit a dominant late burst of star formation which creates a large fraction of their stellar mass. Conversely, high mass systems tend to have a significant amount of stellar mass that formed much earlier. We also find that the high mass SFHs evolve more strongly than the low mass SFHs. These findings are consistent with the phenomenon of downsizing observed in optically selected samples of galaxies.
