摘要:

我们测量了恒星的比角动量jstar=Jstar/Mstar(z~0.1)盘星系,在星系质量函数的折点M* 附近具有恒星质量Mstar,但在z~2处看起来像典型的恒星形成盘,其稳定性(Q~1)低,团簇,高电离气体色散(40-50 km/s),高分子气体部分(20-30%)和快速恒星形成(~20 Msun/yr)。结合高分辨率(OSIRIS)和大半径(Gemini-GMOS)的光谱图,只有在低z,我们发现,这些目标有大约三倍少的恒星角动量比典型的本地螺旋星系等恒星质量和凸起分数。理论分析表明,角动量的不足是导致其稳定性低的主要原因,而高气体分数起着补充作用。有趣的是,我们的目标的低jstar值类似于在较高z处的M*-总体中从固定Mstar处的近似理论标度jstar~(1+z)^(-1/2)中预期的值。这表明,由宇宙膨胀驱动的角动量的变化,是高z的clueros M* 盘(可能演化成早期类型的星系)和质量匹配的局部螺旋之间显着差异的主要原因。

英文摘要:

We measure the stellar specific angular momentum jstar=Jstar/Mstar in four nearby (z~0.1) disk galaxies that have stellar masses Mstar near the break M* of the galaxy mass function, but look like typical star-forming disks at z~2 in terms of their low stability (Q~1), clumpiness, high ionized gas dispersion (40-50 km/s), high molecular gas fraction (20-30%) and rapid star formation (~20 Msun/yr). Combining high-resolution (Keck-OSIRIS) and large-radius (Gemini-GMOS) spectroscopic maps, only available at low z, we discover that these targets have about three times less stellar angular momentum than typical local spiral galaxies of equal stellar mass and bulge fraction. Theoretical considerations show that this deficiency in angular momentum is the main cause of their low stability, while the high gas fraction plays a complementary role. Interestingly, the low jstar values of our targets are similar to those expected in the M*-population at higher z from the approximate theoretical scaling jstar~(1+z)^(-1/2) at fixed Mstar. This suggests that a change in angular momentum, driven by cosmic expansion, is the main cause for the remarkable difference between clumpy M*-disks at high z (which likely evolve into early-type galaxies) and mass-matched local spirals.
