摘要:

大尺度结构(LSS)到z $< 3.0$是在宇宙演化巡天(COSMOS)中使用极其精确的光度红移(photoz)测量的。Ks波段选择的样本(来自Ultra-Vista)由155,954个星系组成。两种技术-自适应平滑和Voronoi镶嵌-被用来估计127个红移切片内的环境密度。在z $= 3.0$中识别出约250个统计学显著的过密结构,其形状从细长的环状结构到更圆对称的浓度不等。我们还比较了COSMOS与那些基于半解析预测的$Λ$ CDM模拟的密度,并发现作为红移和密度范围的函数的平均密度之间的良好的整体协议。星系的性质(恒星质量,光谱能量分布(SED)和恒星形成率(SFR))与环境密度和红移,特别是在z $< 1.0 - 1.2$强烈相关。分类光谱类型的每个星系使用的休息帧b-i颜色(从photozSED拟合),我们发现一个强相关的早期类型的星系(E-Sa)与高密度环境,而环境分离的程度系统地变化与红移出z $\sim 1.3$。在密度最高的区域,80%的星系在z=0.2时是早期类型,而在z = 1.5时只有20%。SFR和恒星形成时间尺度表现出明显的环境相关性。在z $> 0.8$,恒星形成率密度(SFRD)均匀分布在所有的环境密度范围内,而在较低的红移的主要贡献转移到星系在较低的密度环境。

英文摘要:

Large-scale structures (LSS) out to z $< 3.0$ are measured in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) using extremely accurate photometric redshifts (photoz). The Ks-band selected sample (from Ultra-Vista) is comprised of 155,954 galaxies. Two techniques -- adaptive smoothing and Voronoi tessellation -- are used to estimate the environmental densities within 127 redshift slices. Approximately 250 statistically significant overdense structures are identified out to z $= 3.0$ with shapes varying from elongated filamentary structures to more circularly symmetric concentrations. We also compare the densities derived for COSMOS with those based on semi-analytic predictions for a $Λ$CDM simulation and find excellent overall agreement between the mean densities as a function of redshift and the range of densities. The galaxy properties (stellar mass, spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and star formation rates (SFRs)) are strongly correlated with environmental density and redshift, particularly at z $< 1.0 - 1.2$. Classifying the spectral type of each galaxy using the rest-frame b-i color (from the photoz SED fitting), we find a strong correlation of early type galaxies (E-Sa) with high density environments, while the degree of environmental segregation varies systematically with redshift out to z $\sim 1.3$. In the highest density regions, 80% of the galaxies are early types at z=0.2 compared to only 20% at z = 1.5. The SFRs and the star formation timescales exhibit clear environmental correlations. At z $> 0.8$, the star formation rate density (SFRD) is uniformly distributed over all environmental density percentiles, while at lower redshifts the dominant contribution is shifted to galaxies in lower density environments.
