HIHZ:z~0.2最高质量星系的综述

HIGHz: A Survey of the Most HI-Massive Galaxies at z~0.2

Barbara Catinella, Luca Cortese

摘要:

本文介绍了从斯隆数字巡天中选出的39个红移为$z>0.16$的星系的HI-A-recibo巡天测量结果。这些都是活跃的恒星形成,在相对孤立的环境中的盘主导系统,恒星和HI质量大于$10^{10}$ M $_\odot$和红移$0.17\leq z\leq 0.25$。我们的样本不仅包括迄今为止单个星系HI发射的最高红移检测,而且还包括一些已知的最HI大质量系统。尽管异常大,这些星系的HI水库是一致的,从它们的紫外和光学性质的预期。这一点,以及星系处于重子塔利-费舍尔关系的事实,表明高赫兹系统是罕见的,放大版本的本地盘星系。我们发现,最高质量的星系在阿雷西博遗产快速ALFA调查发现的本地类似物的高赫兹,并讨论我们的样本和湍流,气体丰富的磁盘在$z\sim 1$之间的可能联系。高赫兹样本提供了对大质量,高密度星系的性质的第一次一瞥,这些星系将被下一代的平方公里阵列及其探路者在更高的红移下探测到。

英文摘要:

We present the results of the HIGHz Arecibo survey, which measured the HI content of 39 galaxies at redshift $z>0.16$ selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These are all actively star-forming, disk-dominated systems in relatively isolated environments, with stellar and HI masses larger than $10^{10}$ M$_\odot$ and redshifts $0.17\leq z\leq 0.25$. Our sample includes not only the highest-redshift detections of HI emission from individual galaxies to date, but also some of the most HI-massive systems known. Despite being exceptionally large, the HI reservoirs of these galaxies are consistent with what is expected from their ultraviolet and optical properties. This, and the fact that the galaxies lie on the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, suggests that HIGHz systems are rare, scaled-up versions of local disk galaxies. We show that the most HI-massive galaxies discovered in the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey are the local analogues of HIGHz, and discuss the possible connection between our sample and the turbulent, gas-rich disks identified at $z\sim 1$. The HIGHz sample provides a first glimpse into the properties of the massive, HI-rich galaxies that will be detected at higher redshifts by the next-generation HI surveys with the Square Kilometer Array and its pathfinders.
