射电星系成团强度的演化

Evolution in the clustering strength of radio galaxies

S. Fine, T. Shanks, N. Nikoloudakis, U. Sawangwit

摘要:

我们交叉匹配的NVSS和FIRST调查与三个大型光度计的明亮的红色星系(LRGs),以定义无线电响亮的样本。这些有中值红移0.35,0.55和0.68,通过匹配静止帧的光学和无线电特性,我们在三个调查中构建了统一的样本。本文研究了由角关联函数导出的这些样本的聚类性质。主要目的是描述z~0.68以下射电星系聚集幅度的任何演化特征。我们没有发现大尺度(~1- 50 h ^{-1}Mpc)集群幅度演化的证据。我们的射电星系自相关与先前的发现一致,表明在红移范围0.68到0(~ 6 Gyr的时间)内几乎没有演化。我们还交叉关联射电星系与父LRG样本,以增加我们的结果的精度,并再次发现没有证据的演变。我们的研究结果是不一致的长期存在的集群演化模型,假设无线电源随机抽样LRG人口。晕质量随红移保持不变的模型与数据是一致的。这与类星体在所有红移处的聚集振幅与单个晕质量一致类似。考虑到最亮的射电源与较暗的射电源相比在空间密度上表现出更强的演化,我们将我们的样本限制为仅包括L>10^{26}W/Hz的对象,并重复分析。同样,我们没有发现演化的证据,在共动相关振幅。这些射电源似乎与较暗的射电星系(~ 9 × 10 ^{13}h^{-1}M_ \odot)居住在相同的质量晕中。这些晕的质量约为一般LRG总体的两倍,约为光学活动星系核/类星体的30倍。

英文摘要:

We cross match the NVSS and FIRST surveys with three large photometric catalogues of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) to define radio-loud samples. These have median redshifts 0.35, 0.55 and 0.68 and, by matching rest-frame optical and radio properties, we construct uniform samples across the three surveys. This paper is concerned with the clustering properties of these samples derived from the angular correlation function. The primary aim is to characterise any evolution in the clustering amplitude of radio galaxies bellow z~0.68. We find no evidence for evolution in the large-scale (~1-50h^{-1}Mpc) clustering amplitude. Our radio galaxy autocorrelations are consistent with previous findings indicating little-to-no evolution in the redshift range 0.68 to 0 (~6Gyr of time). We also cross correlate radio galaxies with the parent LRG samples to increase the precision of our results and again find no evidence for evolution. Our results are inconsistent with a long-lived model for the clustering evolution that assumes radio sources randomly sample the LRG population. A model where the halo mass is constant with redshift is consistent with the data. This is similar to QSOs that have clustering amplitudes consistent with a single halo mass at all redshifts. Given that the brightest radio sources show stronger evolution in space density compared to fainter radio sources we restrict our samples to include only objects with L>10^{26}W/Hz and repeat the analysis. Again we find no evidence for evolution in the comoving correlation amplitude. These radio sources appear to inhabit the same mass halos as fainter radio galaxies (~9x10^{13}h^{-1}M_\odot). These halos are ~twice as massive as those of the general LRG population and ~30 times as massive as optical AGN/QSOs.
