摘要:

星系的形成和演化是在其局部和大尺度环境的背景下进行的。我们通过成像和光谱学观察到的重子含量与它们的暗物质晕的性质以及它们在大尺度结构的“宇宙网”中的位置密切相关。对局部宇宙的非常大的光谱测量(例如,SDSS和GAMA)测量星系位置(在大尺度结构内的位置)、统计聚类(对暗物质晕质量的直接约束)和光谱特征(测量星系内气体和恒星的物理条件以及内部速度)。詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(JWST)的深度巡天将彻底改变对星系红移和光谱特性的光谱测量,直到再电离时代,但是数值统计和宇宙体积太小,无法绘制大尺度结构,也无法通过聚类来限制晕的特性。在这里,我们认为在理解星系演化的进展,将使非常大的光谱调查在高红移:非常大量的星系(突出的统计数据)在大的共同移动的体积(大尺度结构的所有尺度)在广泛的红移范围(演化在宇宙历史的大部分)。所需的观测设施可在今后十年内作为美国航天局探测组合的一部分建立起来。

英文摘要:

Galaxies form and evolve in the context of their local and large-scale environments. Their baryonic content that we observe with imaging and spectroscopy is intimately connected to the properties of their dark matter halos, and to their location in the "cosmic web" of large-scale structure. Very large spectroscopic surveys of the local universe (e.g., SDSS and GAMA) measure galaxy positions (location within large-scale structure), statistical clustering (a direct constraint on dark matter halo masses), and spectral features (measuring physical conditions of the gas and stars within the galaxies, as well as internal velocities). Deep surveys with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will revolutionize spectroscopic measurements of redshifts and spectral properties for galaxies out to the epoch of reionization, but with numerical statistics and over cosmic volumes that are too small to map large-scale structure and to constrain halo properties via clustering. Here, we consider advances in understanding galaxy evolution that would be enabled by very large spectroscopic surveys at high redshifts: very large numbers of galaxies (outstanding statistics) over large co-moving volumes (large-scale structure on all scales) over broad redshift ranges (evolution over most of cosmic history). The required observational facility can be established as part of the probe portfolio by NASA within the next decade.
