摘要:

我们使用KiDS弱透镜数据来测量平均晕质量的变化作为几个关键的星系属性的函数(即:恒星颜色,特定的恒星形成率,Sersic指数,有效半径)的体积有限的样本的伽马星系在一个狭窄的恒星质量范围($M_* \sim 2$ -$5 \times 10^{10}$ Msol)。这个质量范围是特别有趣的,因为它是在星系属性的双峰是最显着的,并在星系恒星质量函数和恒星晕质量关系(SHMR)的突破附近。在这个狭窄的质量范围内,我们发现,大小和Sersic指数是更好的预测晕质量比颜色或SSFR,与数据显示轻微的偏好Sersic指数。换句话说,我们发现平均晕质量与星系结构的相关性比过去的恒星形成历史或当前的恒星形成速率更紧密。我们的结果导致了一个近似的下限的色散在$\log M_* \approx {10.5}$星系之间的晕质量:我们发现,色散是$\gtrsim 0.3$ dex。这意味着,要么从平均SHMR的偏移量是紧密耦合的大小/结构,或在SHMR的分散大于过去的结果表明。因此,我们的研究结果提供了新的经验约束恒星和晕质量组装在这个特别有趣的质量范围之间的关系。

英文摘要:

We use KiDS weak lensing data to measure variations in mean halo mass as a function of several key galaxy properties (namely: stellar colour, specific star formation rate, Sersic index, and effective radius) for a volume-limited sample of GAMA galaxies in a narrow stellar mass range ($M_* \sim 2$--$5 \times 10^{10}$ Msol). This mass range is particularly interesting, inasmuch as it is where bimodalities in galaxy properties are most pronounced, and near to the break in both the galaxy stellar mass function and the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR). In this narrow mass range, we find that both size and Sersic index are better predictors of halo mass than either colour or SSFR, with the data showing a slight preference for Sersic index. In other words, we find that mean halo mass is more tightly correlated with galaxy structure than either past star formation history or current star formation rate. Our results lead to an approximate lower bound on the dispersion in halo masses among $\log M_* \approx {10.5}$ galaxies: we find that the dispersion is $\gtrsim 0.3$ dex. This would imply either that offsets from the mean SHMR are closely coupled to size/structure, or that the dispersion in the SHMR is larger than past results have suggested. Our results thus provide new empirical constraints on the relationship between stellar and halo mass assembly at this particularly interesting mass range.
