摘要:

深静止坐标光谱学是表征和理解星系中电离气体的物理条件和性质的关键。在这里,我们提出了一个新的光谱调查称为“跨宇宙时间的金属丰度”或$\mathcal{MACT}$,这将获得$\sim$ 3000发射线星系的静止帧光谱。本文介绍了光学光谱,已进行的MMT/Hectospec和凯克/DEIMOS的$\approx$ 1900 $z=0.1-1$发射线星系从我们的窄带和中波段成像在斯巴鲁深场。此外,我们提出了一个样本的164个星系,我们已经测量了弱[OIII] $λ$ 4363线(66至少有3个$σ$检测和98个显着的上限)。这条星云发射线通过测量电离气体的电子温度来确定气相金属丰度。本文介绍了它的光谱、发射线测量、星际性质(例如,金属丰度,气体密度),和恒星性质(例如,恒星形成率,恒星质量)。$\mathcal{MACT}$调查的论文II(Ly等人)介绍了利用[OIII] $λ$ 4363测量的样品在$z\lesssim1$上获得的恒星质量-气体金属丰度关系的第一个结果。

英文摘要:

Deep rest-frame optical spectroscopy is critical for characterizing and understanding the physical conditions and properties of the ionized gas in galaxies. Here, we present a new spectroscopic survey called "Metal Abundances across Cosmic Time" or $\mathcal{MACT}$, which will obtain rest-frame optical spectra for $\sim$3000 emission-line galaxies. This paper describes the optical spectroscopy that has been conducted with MMT/Hectospec and Keck/DEIMOS for $\approx$1900 $z=0.1-1$ emission-line galaxies selected from our narrowband and intermediate-band imaging in the Subaru Deep Field. In addition, we present a sample of 164 galaxies for which we have measured the weak [OIII]$λ$4363 line (66 with at least 3$σ$ detections and 98 with significant upper limits). This nebular emission line determines the gas-phase metallicity by measuring the electron temperature of the ionized gas. This paper presents the optical spectra, emission-line measurements, interstellar properties (e.g., metallicity, gas density), and stellar properties (e.g., star formation rates, stellar mass). Paper II of the $\mathcal{MACT}$ survey (Ly et al.) presents the first results on the stellar mass--gas metallicity relation at $z\lesssim1$ using the sample with [OIII]$λ$4363 measurements.
