摘要:

我们目前的第二阶段的结果,从正在进行的土星周围的银河系类似物(SAGA)调查。完成后,SAGA调查将光谱识别卫星星系比$ M_{r,o} = -12.3 $明亮约100银河系(MW)类似物在$ z \sim 0.01 $。在第二阶段,我们的样本量是第一阶段的四倍多,提供了来自127颗卫星的36兆瓦模拟物的结果,并改进了目标选择策略和来自暗能量调查和遗产调查的深度光度成像目录。我们已经获得了25,372个星系的红移,峰值在$ z = 0.2 $附近。这些数据显着增加光谱覆盖率非常低的红移对象在$ 17 < r_o < 20.75 $周围SAGA主机,创建一个独特的数据集,将本地集团在更广泛的背景下。每个星系确认的卫星数量从0到9不等,与宿主星系和最亮的卫星光度相关。我们发现,MW卫星的数量和光度是一致的,从相同的基本分布作为SAGA系统。大多数确认的SAGA卫星是恒星形成的,并且随着卫星恒星质量和从宿主星系投射的半径的减小,淬灭分数增加。总的来说,SAGA系统中的卫星淬灭分数低于本地组。我们比较了SAGA卫星的光度函数和径向分布与基于冷暗物质模拟和经验星系晕连接模型的理论预测,发现结果大致一致。

英文摘要:

We present the Stage II results from the ongoing Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey. Upon completion, the SAGA Survey will spectroscopically identify satellite galaxies brighter than $ M_{r,o} = -12.3 $ around 100 Milky Way (MW) analogs at $ z \sim 0.01 $. In Stage II, we have more than quadrupled the sample size of Stage I, delivering results from 127 satellites around 36 MW analogs with an improved target selection strategy and deep photometric imaging catalogs from the Dark Energy Survey and the Legacy Surveys. We have obtained 25,372 galaxy redshifts, peaking around $ z = 0.2 $. These data significantly increase spectroscopic coverage for very low redshift objects in $ 17 < r_o < 20.75 $ around SAGA hosts, creating a unique data set that places the Local Group in a wider context. The number of confirmed satellites per system ranges from zero to nine, and correlates with host galaxy and brightest satellite luminosities. We find that the number and the luminosities of MW satellites are consistent with being drawn from the same underlying distribution as SAGA systems. The majority of confirmed SAGA satellites are star forming, and the quenched fraction increases as satellite stellar mass and projected radius from the host galaxy decrease. Overall, the satellite quenched fraction among SAGA systems is lower than that in the Local Group. We compare the luminosity functions and radial distributions of SAGA satellites with theoretical predictions based on cold dark matter simulations and an empirical galaxy-halo connection model and find that the results are broadly in agreement.
