摘要:

为了理解星系的形成和演化,重要的是要充分理解金属丰度,恒星形成率(SFR),形态和颜色所起的作用。这些参数在不同红移下的相互作用将对星系的演化产生重要影响,从而为星系演化模型提供重要的线索和约束。在这项工作中,我们专注于SFR的演化,气体的金属丰度,以及在低红移星系的形态,以寻找演化的迹象。我们使用的S2 N2诊断图作为一种工具来分类恒星形成,复合,和AGN星系。我们分析了三个主要BPT图的演化,估算了我们样本星系的SFR和比SFR,研究了光度和质量-金属丰度关系,并通过g-r色、浓度指数和比SFR分析了我们样本星系的形态。我们发现,S2 N2是一个可靠的图分类恒星形成,复合和AGN星系。我们表明,三个主要的BPT图显示了向更高的值的[OIII]5007/Hb由于金属量递减的演变。我们发现,在红移范围0.3 < z < 0.4时,质量-金属丰度关系的演化约为0.2 dex。通过分析SFR和SSFR随恒星质量和金属丰度的演化,我们发现了一组在所有红移样本上都具有较高SFR和SSFR的星系,其形态与晚型星系一致。最后,我们的本地(0.04<z<0.1)与我们的高红移样本(0.3<z<0.4)的比较表明,在红移范围0.3<z<0.4内,金属丰度、SFR和形态都朝着较低的金属丰度值、较高的SFR和晚型形态演化

英文摘要:

To understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, it is important to have a full comprehension of the role played by the metallicity, star formation rate (SFR), morphology, and color. The interplay of these parameters at different redshifts will substantially affect the evolution of galaxies and, as a consequence, the evolution of them will provide important clues and constraints on the galaxy evolution models. In this work we focus on the evolution of the SFR, metallicity of the gas, and morphology of galaxies at low redshift in search of signs of evolution. We use the S2N2 diagnostic diagram as a tool to classify star--forming, composite, and AGN galaxies. We analyzed the evolution of the three principal BPT diagrams, estimating the SFR and specific SFR (SSFR) for our samples of galaxies, studying the luminosity and mass-metallicity relations, and analyzing the morphology of our sample of galaxies through the g-r color, concentration index, and SSFR. We found that the S2N2 is a reliable diagram to classify star--forming, composite, and AGNs galaxies. We demonstrate that the three principal BPT diagrams show an evolution toward higher values of [OIII]5007/Hb due to a metallicity decrement. We found an evolution in the mass-metallicity relation of ~ 0.2 dex for the redshift range 0.3 < z < 0.4 compared to our local one. From the analysis of the evolution of the SFR and SSFR as a function of the stellar mass and metallicity, we discovered a group of galaxies with higher SFR and SSFR at all redshift samples, whose morphology is consistent with those of late-type galaxies. Finally, the comparison of our local (0.04<z<0.1) with our higher redshift sample (0.3<z<0.4), show that the metallicity, the SFR and morphology, evolve toward lower values of metallicity, higher SFRs, and late--type morphologies for the redshift range 0.3<z<0.4
