摘要:

我们使用EAGLE流体动力学模拟追踪其10个最大质量的星系团的淬火历史。我们使用两个标准来识别星系在其恒星形成活动中发生显着变化的时刻:{ \it i)}瞬时恒星形成率(SFR)最强下降,$Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$,和{ \it ii)}基于$\lesssim$ 10 $^{-11}\rm yr^{-1}$特定SFR的最小阈值的“淬火”标准。我们发现,很大一部分星系($\gtrsim 60\%$)遭受的$Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$以外的集群的R $_{200}$。这个"预处理”的群体主要是由低质量和中心或居住在低质量宿主($10^{10.5}$ M $_{\odot} \lesssim$ M $_{\rm host} \lesssim 10^{11.0}$ M $_{\odot}$)的星系所主导。宿主质量分布是双峰的,在大质量宿主($10^{13.5}\rm M_{\odot} \lesssim M_{host} \lesssim 10^{14.0}M_{\odot}$)中遭受$Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$的星系主要在星系团中进行处理。预处理主要限制星系到达星团时的总恒星质量。关于淬灭,星系优先在高质量晕($10^{13.5}\rm M_{\odot} \lesssim M_{host} \lesssim 10^{14.5}M_{\odot}$)中达到这种状态。到达星系团的一小部分已经熄灭的星系也被预处理,将这两个标准作为这些星系熄灭过程的不同阶段联系起来。对于$z=0$卫星种群,我们发现淬火卫星的比例在第一次坠落时急剧上升,突出了密集的集群环境所发挥的作用。有趣的是,预淬灭星系的比例随着最终星系团质量的增加而增加。这是在这些模拟中使用的分层宇宙学模型的直接结果。

英文摘要:

We use the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulation to trace the quenching history of galaxies in its 10 most massive clusters. We use two criteria to identify moments when galaxies suffer significant changes in their star formation activity: {\it i)} the instantaneous star formation rate (SFR) strongest drop, $Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$, and {\it ii)} a "quenching" criterion based on a minimum threshold for the specific SFR of $\lesssim$ 10$^{-11}\rm yr^{-1}$. We find that a large fraction of galaxies ($\gtrsim 60\%$) suffer their $Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$ outside the cluster's R$_{200}$. This ``pre-processed" population is dominated by galaxies that are either low mass and centrals or inhabit low mass hosts ($10^{10.5}$M$_{\odot} \lesssim$ M$_{\rm host} \lesssim 10^{11.0}$M$_{\odot}$). The host mass distribution is bimodal, and galaxies that suffered their $Γ_{\rm SFR}^{\rm SD}$ in massive hosts ($10^{13.5}\rm M_{\odot} \lesssim M_{host} \lesssim 10^{14.0}M_{\odot}$) are mainly processed within the clusters. Pre-processing mainly limits the total stellar mass with which galaxies arrive in the clusters. Regarding quenching, galaxies preferentially reach this state in high-mass halos ($10^{13.5}\rm M_{\odot} \lesssim M_{host} \lesssim 10^{14.5}M_{\odot}$). The small fraction of galaxies that reach the cluster already quenched has also been pre-processed, linking both criteria as different stages in the quenching process of those galaxies. For the $z=0$ satellite populations, we find a sharp rise in the fraction of quenched satellites at the time of first infall, highlighting the role played by the dense cluster environment. Interestingly, the fraction of pre-quenched galaxies rises with final cluster mass. This is a direct consequence of the hierarchical cosmological model used in these simulations.
