摘要:

我们调查团和卫星星系质量大会的贡献。我们分析了空间分辨哈勃太空望远镜观测(成像和无缝光谱)的53个恒星形成星系在z ~ 1 - 3。我们创建了连续谱和发射线图,并在减去星系盘后精确定位了检测到的残留“斑点”。这些被分为紧凑(未解决)和扩展(已解决)组件。扩展部分的大小约为2千秒差距,恒星质量和年龄与星系盘相当,而紧凑部分的质量比星系盘小1.5德克斯,年轻0.4德克斯。此外,扩展的斑点通常比紧凑的斑点距离星系质心更远。通过这些观测和与模拟的比较,我们认为紧凑的斑点是原位形成的团块,而扩展的是吸积卫星。星系团和卫星星系分别占星系质量的~ 20%和~< 80%,恒星形成率的~ 30%和~ 20%。考虑到致密的团块,我们统计估计大质量团块(Mstar >~ 10^9 Msun)的寿命约为6.5亿年,而质量较小的团块(10^8 < Mstar < 10^9 Msun)的寿命约为1.45亿年。这支持了预测长寿团块(寿命> 1亿年)的模拟。最后,约< 30%(13%)的样本星系正在经历单(多)合并,它们的投影分离约< 10 kpc,我们的卫星星系的典型质量比为1:5(但范围在1:10和1:1之间),与文献中的密对星系结果一致。

英文摘要:

We investigate the contribution of clumps and satellites to the galaxy mass assembly. We analyzed spatially-resolved Hubble Space Telescope observations (imaging and slitless spectroscopy) of 53 star-forming galaxies at z ~ 1 - 3. We created continuum and emission line maps and pinpointed residual "blobs" detected after subtracting the galaxy disk. Those were separated into compact (unresolved) and extended (resolved) components. Extended components have sizes ~ 2 kpc and comparable stellar mass and age as the galaxy disks, whereas the compact components are 1.5 dex less massive and 0.4 dex younger than the disks. Furthermore the extended blobs are typically found at larger distances from the galaxy barycenter than the compact ones. Prompted by these observations and by the comparison with simulations, we suggest that compact blobs are in-situ formed clumps, whereas the extended ones are accreting satellites. Clumps and satellites enclose respectively ~ 20% and ~< 80% of the galaxy stellar mass, ~ 30% and ~ 20% of its star formation rate. Considering the compact blobs, we statistically estimated that massive clumps (Mstar >~ 10^9 Msun) have lifetimes of ~ 650 Myr, and the less massive ones (10^8 < Mstar < 10^9 Msun) of ~ 145 Myr. This supports simulations predicting long-lived clumps (lifetime > 100 Myr). Finally, ~< 30% (13%) of our sample galaxies are undergoing single (multiple) merger(s), they have a projected separation ~< 10 kpc, and the typical mass ratio of our satellites is 1:5 (but ranges between 1:10 and 1:1), in agreement with literature results for close pair galaxies.
