摘要:

利用从COSMOS、AEGIS和XMM-LSS场选取的大样本$ 407 $ X射线星系群,研究了$ 0.04<z<1.3 $上最亮星系群(BGG)的恒星质量和恒星形成率(SFR)的分布和演化。我们将我们的结果与基于千年模拟的半解析模型的预测进行比较。与模型预测相反,我们发现,随着宇宙的演化,恒星质量分布朝着正态分布演化。这种分布倾向于在所有红移处向低质量的BGG倾斜,这意味着存在具有$ M_S\sim10^{10.5} M_{\odot} $的BGG的恒星形成人口,这导致恒星质量分布的形状偏离正态分布。与模型和前人的研究结果一致,我们发现BGG的平均恒星质量在$z=1.3$到$z=0.1$之间随时间以$\sim2$的因子增长,但在高于$ z=0.4$时,BGG的平均恒星质量显著增长. BGG并不完全是一个休眠的星系群,因为在相同的红移范围内,低质量晕中的低质量BGG比更大质量晕中的BGG更活跃地形成恒星。我们发现BGG的平均SFR随红移急剧变化,被动BGG的比例随着恒星质量和晕质量的增加而增加。最后,我们表明,特定的SFR的BGG内的晕与$ M_{200} \leq 10^{13.4} M_{\odot} $减少增加晕质量在$ z<0.4 $。

英文摘要:

We study the distribution and evolution of the stellar mass and the star formation rate (SFR) of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) over $ 0.04<z<1.3 $ using a large sample of $ 407 $ X-ray galaxy groups selected from the COSMOS, AEGIS, and XMM-LSS fields. We compare our results with predictions from the semi-analytic models based on the Millennium simulation. In contrast to model predictions, we find that, as the universe evolves, the stellar mass distribution evolves towards a normal distribution. This distribution tends to skew to low mass BGGs at all redshifts implying the presence of a star-forming population of the BGGs with $ M_S\sim10^{10.5} M_{\odot} $ which results in the shape of the stellar mass distribution deviating from a normal distribution. In agreement with models and previous studies, we find that the mean stellar mass of BGGs grows with time by a factor of $\sim2$ between $z=1.3$ to $z=0.1$, however, the significant growth occurs above $ z=0.4$. The BGGs are not entirely a dormant population of galaxies, as low mass BGGs in low mass halos are more active in forming stars than the BGGs in more massive halos, over the same redshift range. We find that the average SFR of the BGGs evolves steeply with redshift and fraction of the passive BGGs increases as a function of increasing stellar mass and halo mass. Finally, we show that the specific SFR of the BGGs within halos with $ M_{200} \leq 10^{13.4} M_{\odot} $ decreases with increasing halo mass at $ z<0.4 $.
