摘要:

我们使用光谱叠加来测量不同质量和不同层次的星系对宇宙氢原子质量密度的贡献。我们的样本包括1793个星系在$z < 0.11$观察与韦斯特博克综合射电望远镜,斯隆数字巡天光谱和层次信息也可。我们在$\langle z\rangle = 0.065$发现了一个宇宙HI质量密度为$Ω_{\rm HI} = (3.99 \pm 0.54)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$的天体。对于中心星系和卫星星系,我们分别得到了$(3.51 \pm 0.49)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$和$(0.90 \pm 0.16)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$的$Ω_{\rm HI}$。我们发现,星系以上和以下的恒星质量的$\sim$ 10 $^{9.3}$ M $_{\odot}$的贡献大致相等的全球价值的$Ω_{\rm HI}$。虽然与有针对性的HI调查的基础上估计一致,我们的结果与以前的理论工作的紧张局势。我们发现,这些差异,至少部分是由于经验配方用于设置原子和分子氢之间的分区在半分析模型。此外,将我们的测量结果与星系形成的宇宙学半解析模型{ \sc Shark}和GALFORM进行比较,发现通过冲压压力逐渐剥离气体比扼杀更能完全再现我们样本中卫星星系的特性。我们的研究结果强调了这种方法在约束理论模型方面的力量,并证实了大质量星系对本地宇宙HI质量预算的不可忽视的贡献。

英文摘要:

We use spectral stacking to measure the contribution of galaxies of different masses and in different hierarchies to the cosmic atomic hydrogen (HI) mass density in the local Universe. Our sample includes 1793 galaxies at $z < 0.11$ observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, for which Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopy and hierarchy information are also available. We find a cosmic HI mass density of $Ω_{\rm HI} = (3.99 \pm 0.54)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$ at $\langle z\rangle = 0.065$. For the central and satellite galaxies, we obtain $Ω_{\rm HI}$ of $(3.51 \pm 0.49)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$ and $(0.90 \pm 0.16)\times 10^{-4} h_{70}^{-1}$, respectively. We show that galaxies above and below stellar masses of $\sim$10$^{9.3}$ M$_{\odot}$ contribute in roughly equal measure to the global value of $Ω_{\rm HI}$. While consistent with estimates based on targeted HI surveys, our results are in tension with previous theoretical work. We show that these differences are, at least partly, due to the empirical recipe used to set the partition between atomic and molecular hydrogen in semi-analytical models. Moreover, comparing our measurements with the cosmological semi-analytic models of galaxy formation {\sc Shark} and GALFORM reveals gradual stripping of gas via ram pressure works better to fully reproduce the properties of satellite galaxies in our sample, than strangulation. Our findings highlight the power of this approach in constraining theoretical models, and confirm the non-negligible contribution of massive galaxies to the HI mass budget of the local Universe.
