摘要:

我们展示了格罗斯带巡天中4个最紧凑、最大质量的早型星系的Gran-Telescopio-Canarias/OSIRIS光谱,红移z~1,有效半径Reff=0.5-2.4 kpc,光度恒星质量Mstar=1.2-4x10^11 Msun。我们发现这些星系的速度色散σ =156-236 km/s。光谱与年龄和太阳金属丰度约为1 Gyr的单恒星星族模型拟合良好。我们发现:i)这些星系的动力学质量比使用BRIJK测光的已发表恒星质量系统地小~6倍; ii)当估计恒星质量为0.7xMdyn时,由于较小的合并,被动光度衰减与质量/尺寸增长的组合可以合理地演化我们的对象,以匹配早期类型星系的本地种群的特性。

英文摘要:

We present Gran-Telescopio-Canarias/OSIRIS optical spectra of 4 of the most compact and massive early-type galaxies in the Groth Strip Survey at redshift z~1, with effective radii Reff=0.5-2.4 kpc and photometric stellar masses Mstar=1.2-4x10^11 Msun. We find these galaxies have velocity dispersions sigma=156-236 km/s. The spectra are well fitted by single stellar population models with approximately 1 Gyr of age and solar metallicity. We find that: i) the dynamical masses of these galaxies are systematically smaller by a factor of ~6 than the published stellar masses using BRIJK photometry; ii) when estimating stellar masses as 0.7xMdyn, a combination of passive luminosity fading with mass/size growth due to minor mergers can plausibly evolve our objects to match the properties of the local population of early-type galaxies.
