环境对恒星质量-晕质量关系晚期演化的影响

The Impact of Environment on Late Time Evolution of the Stellar Mass - Halo Mass Relation

Jesse B. Golden-Marx, Christopher J. Miller

摘要:

在一个固定的晕质量,具有更高的星等间隙的星系团具有更大的最亮的中央星系(BCG)恒星质量。最近的研究表明,通过在恒星质量-晕质量(SMHM)关系中引入星等间隙($\rm m_{gap}$)作为一个潜在参数,我们可以对振幅、斜率和内禀散射进行更精确的测量。利用斯隆数字巡天的星系团,我们测量了SMHM- $\rm m_{gap}$关系及其向$z=0.3$的演化。使用一个固定的100千秒差距的同动孔径来定义中央星系的恒星质量,我们报告统计上显着的负演化的斜率的SMHM关系到$z = 0.3$($> 3.5σ$)。在过去的3.5 Gyrs的斜率变陡,可以解释为在星系团的核心的后期合并活动。我们还发现,推断的斜率取决于用于定义中央星系的径向范围的光圈。在小半径(20 kpc)处,SMHM关系的斜率较浅,表明中央星系的核心与其下的宿主晕的生长关系较小。通过将所有中央星系的光都包含在100千秒差距内,斜率达到了一个渐近线,其值与最近的高分辨率流体动力学宇宙学模拟一致。

英文摘要:

At a fixed halo mass, galaxy clusters with higher magnitude gaps have larger brightest central galaxy (BCG) stellar masses. Recent studies have shown that by including the magnitude gap ($\rm m_{gap}$) as a latent parameter in the stellar mass - halo mass (SMHM) relation, we can make more precise measurements on the amplitude, slope, and intrinsic scatter. Using galaxy clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we measure the SMHM-$\rm m_{gap}$ relation and its evolution out to $z=0.3$. Using a fixed comoving aperture of 100kpc to define the central galaxy's stellar mass, we report statistically significant negative evolution in the slope of the SMHM relation to $z = 0.3$ ($> 3.5σ$). The steepening of the slope over the last 3.5 Gyrs can be explained by late-time merger activity at the cores of galaxy clusters. We also find that the inferred slope depends on the aperture used to define the radial extent of the central galaxy. At small radii (20kpc), the slope of the SMHM relation is shallow, indicating that the core of the central galaxy is less related to the growth of the underlying host halo. By including all of the central galaxy's light within 100kpc, the slope reaches an asymptote at a value consistent with recent high resolution hydrodynamical cosmology simulations.
