摘要:

我们提出了一个中红外WISE源内看到的赤道GAMA G12领域,位于北银河帽的分析。我们的动机是研究和表征的行为WISE源人口的预期深多波长调查,将定义未来十年,与映射的3D大尺度结构和确定的主机星系的全球物理属性的主要科学目标。结合宇宙学红移,我们确定星系从他们的WISE W1 3.4um分辨发射,并通过执行一个恒星星系分离使用视星等,颜色和统计模型的恒星计数。由此产生的星系目录在60度^[2]范围内有约590,000个源,达到W1 5-sigma深度31 uJy。在暗端,红移是不可用的,我们采用光度函数分析表明,大约27%的所有WISE河外源的极限为17.5等(31 μ Jy)是在高红移,z > 1。的空间分布进行了研究,使用两点关联函数和三维源密度特性在5 Mpc和20 Mpc尺度。对于角分布,我们发现更亮和更大质量的源相对于更暗和更低质量的源强烈聚集;同样,基于WISE颜色,球状星系具有最强的聚集,而晚型盘星系具有最低的聚集幅度。沿径向,最强的集群是在最大的红移壳层,而最弱的是在最近的红移壳层,与恒星质量和形态类型依赖性的结果一致。在三维空间中,我们发现了许多不同的分组,通常由细丝和超结构桥接。使用特殊的可视化工具,我们映射这些结构,探索如何集群可能与恒星质量和星系类型发挥作用。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of the mid-infrared WISE sources seen within the equatorial GAMA G12 field, located in the North Galactic Cap. Our motivation is to study and characterize the behavior of WISE source populations in anticipation of the deep multi-wavelength surveys that will define the next decade, with the principal science goal of mapping the 3D large scale structures and determining the global physical attributes of the host galaxies. In combination with cosmological redshifts, we identify galaxies from their WISE W1 3.4um resolved emission, and by performing a star-galaxy separation using apparent magnitude, colors and statistical modeling of star-counts. The resultant galaxy catalog has ~590,000 sources in 60 deg^2, reaching a W1 5-sigma depth of 31 uJy. At the faint end, where redshifts are not available, we employ a luminosity function analysis to show that approximately 27% of all WISE extragalactic sources to a limit of 17.5 mag (31 uJy) are at high redshift, z > 1. The spatial distribution is investigated using two-point correlation functions and a 3D source density characterization at 5 Mpc and 20 Mpc scales. For angular distributions, we find brighter and more massive sources are strongly clustered relative to fainter and lower mass source; likewise, based on WISE colors, spheroidal galaxies have the strongest clustering, while late-type disk galaxies have the lowest clustering amplitudes. Along the radial direction, the strongest clustering is in the largest redshift shell, while the weakest is in the nearest redshift shell, consistent with the stellar mass and morphological type dependency results. In three dimensions, we find a number of distinct groupings, often bridged by filaments and super-structures. Using special visualization tools, we map these structures, exploring how clustering may play a role with stellar mass and galaxy type.
