摘要:

利用大天文台起源深空巡天(GOODS)观测的高红移星系数据,研究了星系自旋的演化。通过简单的动力学考虑,我们估计的自旋盘星系在我们的样本,并发现其分布是一致的,发现附近的星系。定义一个无量纲的角动量参数的星系盘组件($λ_{d}$),我们没有发现的红移范围内的演化迹象$0.4 \leq z \leq 1.2$。我们发现,我们的高红移星系的自旋的质量和环境的依赖性是类似的低$z$星系,表现出强烈的依赖于质量,在这个意义上说,低质量的系统呈现出更高的$λ_{d}$值比高质量的星系,没有显着的依赖于环境的密度。这些结果使我们得出结论,虽然个别盘星系可能偶尔遭受强烈的演变,他们的演变方式,银河系人口的整体自旋分布保持不变,从$z\sim1$到现在的时代。

英文摘要:

We study the evolution of the galactic spin using data of high redshift galaxies in the fields of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). Through simple dynamical considerations we estimate the spin for the disc galaxies in our sample and find that its distribution is consistent with that found for nearby galaxies. Defining a dimensionless angular momentum parameter for the disc component of the galaxies ($λ_{d}$), we do not find signs of evolution in the redshift range $0.4 \leq z \leq 1.2$. We find that the mass and environmental dependence of the spin of our high redshift galaxies are similar to that of low-$z$ galaxies; showing a strong dependence on mass, in the sense that low-mass systems present higher $λ_{d}$ values than high-mass galaxies, with no significant dependence on the environmental density. These results lead us to conclude that, although individual disc galaxies might occasionally suffer from strong evolution, they evolve in such a way that the overall spin distribution of the galactic population remains constant from $z\sim1$ to the present epoch.
