摘要:

我们利用PRIMUS和DEEP 2星系红移巡天的数据,给出了星系成团特性与恒星质量和比恒星形成率(sSFR)的函数关系的结果。我们使用了天空中五个独立区域中超过10万个星系的光谱红移,这些星系覆盖了7.2度^[2]的区域,由此我们计算了宇宙方差误差。我们发现,星系团的振幅是强大的sSFR的恒星质量的函数,并在一个给定的sSFR,它并不显着依赖于恒星质量的范围内探测这里。我们进一步发现,在恒星形成的人口,并在一个给定的恒星质量,星系以上的主要序列的恒星形成较高的sSFR的星系比星系以下的主要序列较低的sSFR的集群。我们还发现,在静止的人口,具有较高的sSFR的星系比具有较低的sSFR的星系,在一个给定的恒星质量较少聚集。我们发现,星系团的振幅平稳增加,增加恒星质量和降低sSFR,这意味着星系可能会演变的主要序列,而不仅仅是沿着它,星系最终成为静止之前。这些结果意味着连接星系和暗物质晕的恒星质量与晕质量的关系可能依赖于sSFR。

英文摘要:

We present results on the clustering properties of galaxies as a function of both stellar mass and specific star formation rate (sSFR) using data from the PRIMUS and DEEP2 galaxy redshift surveys spanning 0.2 < z < 1.2. We use spectroscopic redshifts of over 100,000 galaxies covering an area of 7.2 deg^2 over five separate fields on the sky, from which we calculate cosmic variance errors. We find that the galaxy clustering amplitude is as strong of a function of sSFR as of stellar mass, and that at a given sSFR, it does not significantly depend on stellar mass within the range probed here. We further find that within the star-forming population and at a given stellar mass, galaxies above the main sequence of star formation with higher sSFR are less clustered than galaxies below the main sequence with lower sSFR. We also find that within the quiescent population, galaxies with higher sSFR are less clustered than galaxies with lower sSFR, at a given stellar mass. We show that the galaxy clustering amplitude smoothly increases with both increasing stellar mass and decreasing sSFR, implying that galaxies likely evolve across the main sequence, not only along it, before galaxies eventually become quiescent. These results imply that the stellar mass to halo mass relation, which connects galaxies to dark matter halos, likely depends on sSFR.
