zCOSMOS 20 k：卫星星系是至少z~0.7的星系群中环境效应的主要驱动力
zCOSMOS 20k: Satellite galaxies are the main drivers of environmental effects in the galaxy population at least to z~0.7
摘要：
我们使用最终的zCOSMOS亮数据集探索了环境在0.1<z<0.7以上星系演化中的作用。使用的红色部分的星系作为一个代理的淬火人口，我们发现，红色星系的比例增加与环境的超密度和恒星质量，与以前的工作一致。在较低的红移，红色部分似乎是可分离的质量和环境，这表明两个过程的行动：质量和环境淬火。描述这些的参数似乎在z~0.7处与局部基本相同。我们探索红色分数，质量和环境之间的关系，也分别为中央和卫星星系，密切关注杂质的影响，在中央卫星分类和使用精心构造的样本匹配的恒星质量。几乎没有证据表明中心的红色部分对过密度有依赖性。卫星在所有的超密度下都是一致的更红，并且在0.1<z<0.4的超密度下，卫星猝灭效率随着超密度的增加而增加。这在较高的红移下不太明显，但两者都与等效的局部测量一致。在给定的恒星质量下，卫星星系的比例也随着密度的增加而增加。在一个给定的密度和质量，所获得的环境淬火和卫星分数之间的关系与卫星淬火效率一致，表明在整个人口的环境淬火是一致的，完全通过卫星淬火过程中至少达到z=0.7。然而，尽管我们的高红移样本规模空前，相关的统计不确定性仍然很大，我们的陈述应该被理解为对物理现实的近似，而不是物理上精确的公式。
英文摘要：
We explore the role of environment in the evolution of galaxies over 0.1<z<0.7 using the final zCOSMOS-bright data set. Using the red fraction of galaxies as a proxy for the quenched population, we find that the fraction of red galaxies increases with the environmental overdensity and with the stellar mass, consistent with previous works. As at lower redshift, the red fraction appears to be separable in mass and environment, suggesting the action of two processes: mass and environmental quenching. The parameters describing these appear to be essentially the same at z~0.7 as locally. We explore the relation between red fraction, mass and environment also for the central and satellite galaxies separately, paying close attention to the effects of impurities in the central-satellite classification and using carefully constructed samples matched in stellar mass. There is little evidence for a dependence of the red fraction of centrals on overdensity. Satellites are consistently redder at all overdensities, and the satellite quenching efficiency increases with overdensity at 0.1<z<0.4. This is less marked at higher redshift, but both are nevertheless consistent with the equivalent local measurements. At a given stellar mass, the fraction of galaxies that are satellites also increases with the overdensity. At a given overdensity and mass, the obtained relation between the environmental quenching and the satellite fraction agrees well with the satellite quenching efficiency, demonstrating that the environmental quenching in the overall population is consistent with being entirely produced through the satellite quenching process at least up to z=0.7. However, despite the unprecedented size of our high redshift samples, the associated statistical uncertainties are still significant and our statements should be understood as approximations to physical reality, rather than physically exact formulae.
