高质量X射线双星的金属丰度依赖性与红移演化的联系

Connecting the metallicity dependence and redshift evolution of high-mass X-ray binaries

摘要:

星系中高质量X射线双星(HMXB)的积分X射线光度($L_{\mathrm{X}}$)与其恒星形成率(SFR)相关,并且这种相关性的归一化随红移的增加而增加。布居合成模型表明,$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ /SFR的红移演化是由HMXB的金属丰度($Z$)依赖性驱动的,最近在$z\sim2$使用星系提出了这种联系的第一个直接证据。为了用更可靠的测量证实这一结果并更好地约束$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ -SFR- $Z$关系,我们研究了低红移下$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ /SFR的$Z$依赖性。利用$z=0.1-0.9$的恒星形成星系样本和来自hCOSMOS和zCOSMOS巡天的光谱,我们堆叠了来自COSMOS Legacy巡天的\textit{Chandra}数据,以测量在三个红移范围内作为$Z$的函数的平均$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ /SFR:$z=0.1-0.25$,$0.25-0.4$和$0.5-0.9$。我们没有发现$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ -SFR- $Z$关系随红移的显著变化.我们的结果提供了进一步的证据,$Z$的HMXB的依赖是负责的红移演变的$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ /SFR。将所有可用的$z>0$测量值组合在一起,我们得到最佳拟合的$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ -SFR- $Z$关系,并评估不同的群体合成模型如何描述数据。这些结果提供了迄今为止在$8.0<$ 12+log(O/H)$<9.0$范围内对$L_{\mathrm{X}}$ -SFR- $Z$关系的最强约束。

英文摘要:

The integrated X-ray luminosity ($L_{\mathrm{X}}$) of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in a galaxy is correlated with its star formation rate (SFR), and the normalization of this correlation increases with redshift. Population synthesis models suggest that the redshift evolution of $L_{\mathrm{X}}$/SFR is driven by the metallicity ($Z$) dependence of HMXBs, and the first direct evidence of this connection was recently presented using galaxies at $z\sim2$. To confirm this result with more robust measurements and better constrain the $L_{\mathrm{X}}$-SFR-$Z$ relation, we have studied the $Z$ dependence of $L_{\mathrm{X}}$/SFR at lower redshifts. Using samples of star-forming galaxies at $z=0.1-0.9$ with optical spectra from the hCOSMOS and zCOSMOS surveys, we stacked \textit{Chandra} data from the COSMOS Legacy survey to measure the average $L_{\mathrm{X}}$/SFR as a function of $Z$ in three redshift ranges: $z=0.1-0.25$, $0.25-0.4$, and $0.5-0.9$. We find no significant variation of the $L_{\mathrm{X}}$-SFR-$Z$ relation with redshift. Our results provide further evidence that the $Z$ dependence of HMXBs is responsible for the redshift evolution of $L_{\mathrm{X}}$/SFR. Combining all available $z>0$ measurements together, we derive a best-fitting $L_{\mathrm{X}}$-SFR-$Z$ relation and assess how different population synthesis models describe the data. These results provide the strongest constraints to date on the $L_{\mathrm{X}}$-SFR-$Z$ relation in the range of $8.0<$12+log(O/H)$<9.0$.
