揭开Σ-离散II的面纱:重访ULIRGs的演化和类星体的起源

Unveiling The Sigma-Discrepancy II: Revisiting the Evolution of ULIRGs & The Origin of Quasars

Barry Rothberg, Jacqueline Fischer, Myriam Rodrigues, D. B. Sanders

摘要:

我们提出了第一个中心速度色散(σ_o)测量从0.85微米钙II三重态(CaT)的8个先进的(即单核)本地(z < 0.15)超铝红外线镓(ULIRGs)。首先,这些测量结果被用来检验“sigma-Discreplantation”的预测,其中CaT sigma_o系统地大于从1.6或2.3微米恒星CO带头获得的sigma_o,扩展到ULIRG光度。接下来,我们结合CAT数据与静止帧I-波段测光从档案哈勃太空望远镜数据和斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)获得的动力学特性的8 ULIRGs。然后将这些与SDSS中相同红移体积内的9,255个椭圆星系和相对较近(z < 0.4)的53个类星体宿主星系样本的动力学性质进行比较。比较了ULIRG的I带和H带动力学性质。我们发现了四个关键结果:在I波段,ULIRGs位于基本面(FP)上的区域与大质量椭圆星系一致,而不是以前报道的中低质量椭圆星系,在近红外波段,ULIRGs的M/L与古老的恒星星族一致,而在H波段,ULIRGs则明显较年轻,质量较小;(4)从SDSS椭圆星系中导出了I波段的Kormendy关系,证明了ULIRGs和类星体宿主星系在动力学上的相似性。

英文摘要:

We present the first central velocity dispersions (sigma_o) measured from the 0.85 micron Calcium II Triplet (CaT) for 8 advanced (i.e. single nuclei) local (z < 0.15) Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs). First, these measurements are used to test the prediction that the "sigma-Discrepancy," in which the CaT sigma_o is systematically larger than the sigma_o obtained from the 1.6 or 2.3 micron stellar CO band-heads, extends to ULIRG luminosities. Next, we combine the CaT data with rest-frame I-band photometry obtained from archival Hubble Space Telescope data and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to derive dynamical properties for the 8 ULIRGs. These are then compared to the dynamical properties of 9,255 elliptical galaxies from the SDSS within the same redshift volume and of a relatively nearby (z < 0.4) sample of 53 QSO host galaxies. A comparison is also made between the I-band and H-band dynamical properties of the ULIRGs. We find four key results: 1) the sigma-Discrepancy extends to ULIRG luminosities; 2) at I-band ULIRGs lie on the Fundamental Plane (FP) in a region consistent with the most massive elliptical galaxies and not low-intermediate mass ellipticals as previously reported in the near-infrared; 3) the I-band M/L of ULIRGs are consistent with an old stellar population, while at H-band ULIRGs appear significantly younger and less massive; and 4) we derive an I-band Kormendy Relation from the SDSS ellipticals and demonstrate that ULIRGs and QSO host galaxies are dynamically similar.
