摘要:

我们使用Subaru/Suprime-Cam对XMMXCS J2215.9-1738星系团及其周围的32'x23'区域内的[OII]发射体进行了窄带成像调查,并选择了380个[OII]发射星系,其发射率为1.4E-17 erg/s/cm 2。其中,16个[OII]发射体在集群中心区域被确认的近红外光谱与斯巴鲁/MOIRCS。我们发现[OII]发射体沿团簇周围的平行大尺度结构分布。的z '-K与K色星等图显示,一个显着较高的分数的[OII]发射体被认为是在集群核心的红色序列比在其他环境中,我们在本文中定义。这些红色星系很可能是被动演化的星系,它们拥有发射[OII]的活动星系核,而不是尘埃变红的恒星形成星系。因此,我们认为活动星系核反馈可能是高密度区域大质量星系中恒星形成猝灭的关键过程之一。我们还发现,该集群经历了高恒星形成活动的速度在外地在z=1.46。此外,在z=1.46处的星系团中存在一个质量-金属丰度关系,这与z~2处的恒星形成星系的质量-金属丰度关系相似。这些结果都表明,在z~1.5的星团核心的恒星形成活动变得与低密度环境中的恒星形成活动一样高,除了红色发射体外,显然还没有很强的环境依赖性。

英文摘要:

We conduct a narrow-band imaging survey of [OII] emitters over a 32'x23' area in and around the XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 cluster at z=1.46 with Subaru/Suprime-Cam, and select 380 [OII] emitting galaxies down to 1.4E-17 erg/s/cm2. Among them, 16 [OII] emitters in the cluster central region are confirmed by NIR spectroscopy with Subaru/MOIRCS. We find that [OII] emitters are distributed along filamentary large-scale structures around the cluster. The z'-K vs K colour-magnitude diagram shows that a significantly higher fraction of [OII] emitters is seen on the red sequence in the cluster core than in other environments we define in this paper. It is likely that these red galaxies are nearly passively evolving galaxies which host [OII] emitting AGNs, rather than dust-reddened star-forming galaxies. We argue therefore that AGN feedback may be one of the critical processes to quench star formation in massive galaxies in high density regions. We also find that the cluster has experienced high star formation activities at rates comparable to that in the field at z=1.46. In addition, a mass-metallicity relation exists in the cluster at z=1.46, which is similar to that of star-forming galaxies in the field at z~2. These results all suggest that at z~1.5 star formation activity in the cluster core becomes as high as those in low density environments and there is apparently not yet a strong environmental dependence, except for the red emitters.
