摘要:

本文主要基于Ha、[NII]和[SII]谱线的积分场谱,对599个红移为0.6<z<2.7的正常星系的电离气体外流进行了统计。样本相当均匀地覆盖了质量为9.0<log(M*/Msun)<11.7的恒星形成星系的主要序列,并探讨了静止星系和星暴异常星系的区域。大约1/3的星系呈现出外流的高速成分,大致相等地分为恒星形成(SF)和活动星系核(AGN)驱动的风。SF驱动风的发生率主要与恒星形成特性相关。这些外流的典型速度约为450 km/s,局域电子密度约为380 cm^-3,在所有星系质量下的质量负载因子约为0.1-0.2,能量与年轻恒星星族驱动的动量相一致。SF驱动的风可能会从log(M*/Msun)<10.3的星系逃逸,但在较热和较冷的外流阶段,似乎需要大量的质量、动量和能量来解释低质量区域的低星系形成效率。在log(M*/Msun)~10.7以上的星系中,通常可以检测到更快的活动星系核驱动的外流(~1000-2000 km/s),在log(M*/Msun)>11.2的星系中,高达~75%。活动星系核驱动风的发生率、强度和速度与恒星质量和中心浓度密切相关。它们流出的电离气体看起来密度更大(n_e~1000 cm^-3),可能是被压缩和激波激发的。这些风具有与SF驱动的风相当的质量负载因子,但携带的动量(能量)约为SF驱动的风的10(~50)倍。结果证实了我们以前的研究结果,高占空比,能量驱动的外流动力的活动星系核以上的谢克特质量,这可能有助于恒星形成淬火。

英文摘要:

We present a census of ionized gas outflows in 599 normal galaxies at redshift 0.6<z<2.7, mostly based on integral field spectroscopy of Ha, [NII], and [SII] line emission. The sample fairly homogeneously covers the main sequence of star-forming galaxies with masses 9.0<log(M*/Msun)<11.7, and probes into the regimes of quiescent galaxies and starburst outliers. About 1/3 exhibits the high-velocity component indicative of outflows, roughly equally split into winds driven by star formation (SF) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). The incidence of SF-driven winds correlates mainly with star formation properties. These outflows have typical velocities of ~450 km/s, local electron densities of n_e~380 cm^-3, modest mass loading factors of ~0.1-0.2 at all galaxy masses, and energetics compatible with momentum driving by young stellar populations. The SF-driven winds may escape from log(M*/Msun)<10.3 galaxies but substantial mass, momentum, and energy in hotter and colder outflow phases seem required to account for low galaxy formation efficiencies in the low-mass regime. Faster AGN-driven outflows (~1000-2000 km/s) are commonly detected above log(M*/Msun)~10.7, in up to ~75% of log(M*/Msun)>11.2 galaxies. The incidence, strength, and velocity of AGN-driven winds strongly correlates with stellar mass and central concentration. Their outflowing ionized gas appears denser (n_e~1000 cm^-3), and possibly compressed and shock-excited. These winds have comparable mass loading factors as the SF-driven winds but carry ~10 (~50) times more momentum (energy). The results confirm our previous findings of high duty cycle, energy-driven outflows powered by AGN above the Schechter mass, which may contribute to star formation quenching.
