低红移星系团环银河系介质中的尘埃

Dust in the Circumgalactic Medium of Low-Redshift Galaxies

J. E. G. Peek, Brice Ménard, Lia Corrales

摘要:

使用光谱选择的星系从斯隆数字巡天,我们提出了一个检测的红化由于在星系的环星系介质中的尘埃。我们检测到的“标准蜡笔”的颜色的平均变化与存在的前景星系在z ~0.05作为角间距的函数。在Peek & Graves(2010)之后,我们使用被动演化的星系创建标准蜡笔,对银河系红化和颜色红移趋势进行校正,导致样品的颜色散射只有2%。我们设计了一些方法来改善与颜色估计相关的可能的系统效应,并且我们发现前景星系引起的过度变红,其水平在10到0.5毫米量级,尺度范围从30千秒差距到1兆秒差距。我们将这种效应归因于星系周围尘埃的大规模分布,类似于Menard等人的发现。我们发现,环星系红化是一个弱函数的恒星质量的范围$6 \times 10^9 M_\odot$ - $6 \times 10^{10} M_\odot$,并注意到,这种行为似乎是一致的,最近的结果在气相中的金属分布。

英文摘要:

Using spectroscopically selected galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we present a detection of reddening due to dust in the circumgalactic medium of galaxies. We detect the mean change in the colors of "standard crayons" correlated with the presence of foreground galaxies at z ~0.05 as a function of angular separation. Following Peek & Graves (2010), we create standard crayons using passively evolving galaxies corrected for Milky Way reddening and color-redshift trends, leading to a sample with as little as 2% scatter in color. We devise methods to ameliorate possible systematic effects related to the estimation of colors, and we find an excess reddening induced by foreground galaxies at a level ranging from 10 to 0.5 millimagnitudes on scales ranging from 30 kpc to 1 Mpc. We attribute this effect to a large-scale distribution of dust around galaxies similar to the findings of Menard et al. 2010. We find that circumgalactic reddening is a weak function of stellar mass over the range $6 \times 10^9 M_\odot$ -- $6 \times 10^{10} M_\odot$ and note that this behavior appears to be consistent with recent results on the distribution of metals in the gas phase.
