摘要:

我们对GAMA调查中的恒星形成率(SFR)指标进行了荟萃分析,产生了12个不同的SFR指标,并确定了每个指标的SFR-M * 关系。我们比较和对比已发表的方法,以提取SFR从每个指标,使用一个定义明确的本地样本的形态选择的螺旋星系,其中不包括来源,可能有大的最近的变化,他们的SFR。不同的方法被发现产生SFR-M* 关系与不一致的斜率和归一化,表明校准方法之间的差异。恢复的SFR-M* 关系也具有大范围的散射,这是因为目标的SFR可以被认为在不同的时间尺度上是恒定的,这表明方法校正单个目标中的衰减的准确度的差异。然后,我们重新校准所有的SFR指标,以提供新的,强大的和一致的亮度SFR校准,发现最一致的斜率和归一化的SFR-M * 的关系时,重新校准使用辐射传输方法Popescu等。这些新的校准可以用来直接比较SFR在不同的观测,历元和星系种群。然后,我们将我们的校准GAMA II赤道数据集,并探讨在本地宇宙的恒星形成的演变。我们确定从0 < z < 0.35到SFR-M* 关系的归一化的演变-在0.3 < z < 1.2时发现与先前估计一致的趋势。然后,我们提供了z < 0.35的宇宙恒星形成历史,SFR-M* 关系及其在过去30亿年的演化。

英文摘要:

We present a meta-analysis of star-formation rate (SFR) indicators in the GAMA survey, producing 12 different SFR metrics and determining the SFR-M* relation for each. We compare and contrast published methods to extract the SFR from each indicator, using a well-defined local sample of morphologically-selected spiral galaxies, which excludes sources which potentially have large recent changes to their SFR. The different methods are found to yield SFR-M* relations with inconsistent slopes and normalisations, suggesting differences between calibration methods. The recovered SFR-M* relations also have a large range in scatter which, as SFRs of the targets may be considered constant over the different timescales, suggests differences in the accuracy by which methods correct for attenuation in individual targets. We then recalibrate all SFR indicators to provide new, robust and consistent luminosity-to-SFR calibrations, finding that the most consistent slopes and normalisations of the SFR-M* relations are obtained when recalibrated using the radiation transfer method of Popescu et al. These new calibrations can be used to directly compare SFRs across different observations, epochs and galaxy populations. We then apply our calibrations to the GAMA II equatorial dataset and explore the evolution of star-formation in the local Universe. We determine the evolution of the normalisation to the SFR-M* relation from 0 < z < 0.35 - finding consistent trends with previous estimates at 0.3 < z < 1.2. We then provide the definitive z < 0.35 Cosmic Star Formation History, SFR-M* relation and its evolution over the last 3 billion years.
