本地星系在绿谷的物理性质变化

Physical properties variation across the green valley for local galaxies

Xue Ge, Qiu-Sheng Gu, Yong-Yun Chen, Nan Ding

摘要:

我们选取了Sloan数字巡天数据第7版(SDSS DR 7)中的邻近星系样本,研究了从蓝云到绿谷再到红色序列的物理性质变化。在色星质量图中,样品被限定在一个狭窄的范围内。在将绿谷星系分裂为两部分-一个更蓝的绿谷(绿1)和一个更红的绿谷(绿2)以及三个恒星质量仓之后,我们研究了整个绿谷区域的物理性质变化。我们的主要结果如下:(i)在所有恒星质量仓和不同的环境中,从蓝云到红云,纯球星系和球主星系/椭圆星系的比例逐渐增加,而纯盘星系和盘主星系/螺旋星系的比例逐渐减少;(ii)通过对形态和结构参数(例如,通过比较中心1 Kpc内的恒星质量浓度(C)和恒星质量表面密度($Σ_{1}$),红色星系显示出比绿谷和蓝色星系更明亮和致密的核心,而蓝色星系在所有恒星质量仓中表现出相反的行为。(iii)从蓝星系到红星系,膨胀与总光之比(B/T)与比恒星形成率(sSFR)($D_{4000}$)之间存在很强的负(正)关系。我们的结果表明,当星系从蓝云到绿谷再到红序时,星系核球的增长起着重要的作用。

英文摘要:

We have selected a sample of nearby galaxies from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) to investigate the physical properties variation from blue cloud to green valley to red sequence. The sample is limited in a narrow range in color-stellar mass diagram. After splitting green valley galaxies into two parts---a bluer green valley (green 1) and a redder one (green 2) and three stellar mass bins, we investigate the physical properties variation across the green valley region. Our main results are as following: (i) The percentages of pure bulge and bulge-dominated/elliptical galaxies increase gradually from blue cloud to red sequence while the percentages of pure disk and disk-dominated/spiral galaxies decrease gradually in all stellar mass bins and different environments; (ii) With the analysis of morphological and structural parameters (e.g., concentration (C) and the stellar mass surface density within the central 1Kpc ($Σ_{1}$)), red galaxies show the most luminous and compact cores than both green valley and blue galaxies while blue galaxies show the opposite behavior in all stellar mass bins. (iii) A strong negative (positive) relationship between bulge-to-total light ratio (B/T) and specific star formation rate (sSFR) ($D_{4000}$) is found from blue to red galaxies. Our results indicate that the growth of bulge plays an important role when the galaxies change from the blue cloud, to green valley, and to the red sequence.
