摘要:

我们研究了当宿主星系落入星系团核心时,星系中分子气体燃料恒星形成的星系库是如何转变的。作为空间扩展的ESO遥远星系团巡天(SEEDisCS)的一部分,我们介绍了利用阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列(ALMA)获得的27个恒星形成星系的CO(3 - 2)观测结果。这些源位于$z=0.5195$的CL1411.1 $-$ 1148内部和周围,在星团维里半径的五倍之内。这些目标的恒星质量(M $_{\rm star}$)、颜色和星等与从Plateau de Bure high-$z$ Blue Sequence Survey(PHIBSS 2)中抽取的具有类似红移的现场比较样本相似。我们比较了我们的主序星星系的冷气分数($μ_{\rm H_2}=$ M $_{\rm H_2}$/M $_{\rm star}$),比恒星形成率(SFR/M $_{\rm star}$)和耗尽时标($t_{\rm depl}=$ M $_{\rm H_2}$/SFR)的PHIBSS 2子样本。虽然我们的大部分星系(63\ %)与PHIBSS 2一致,但其余的低于PHIBSS 2星系在$z\sim0.5$的$μ_\mathrm{H_2}$和M $_{\rm star}$之间的关系。这些低$μ_\mathrm{H_2}$星系与高斯分布的尾部不相容,因此它们对应于一个新的星系群,具有正常的SFR,但低气体含量和低耗尽时间($\lesssim 1$ Gyr),在以前的调查中没有。我们认为,这些星系的恒星形成活动还没有被它们的冷分子气体的低分数减少。

英文摘要:

We investigate how the galaxy reservoirs of molecular gas fuelling star formation are transformed while the host galaxies infall onto galaxy cluster cores. As part of the Spatially Extended ESO Distant Cluster Survey (SEEDisCS), we present CO(3-2) observations of 27 star-forming galaxies obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). These sources are located inside and around CL1411.1$-$1148 at $z=0.5195$, within five times the cluster virial radius. These targets were selected to have stellar masses M$_{\rm star}$), colours, and magnitudes similar to those of a field comparison sample at similar redshift drawn from the Plateau de Bure high-$z$ Blue Sequence Survey (PHIBSS2). We compare the cold gas fraction ($μ_{\rm H_2}=$ M$_{\rm H_2}$/M$_{\rm star}$), specific star formation rates (SFR/M$_{\rm star}$) and depletion timescales ($t_{\rm depl}=$ M$_{\rm H_2}$/SFR) of our main-sequence galaxies to the PHIBSS2 subsample. While the most of our galaxies (63\%) are consistent with PHIBSS2, the remainder fall below the relation between $μ_\mathrm{H_2}$ and M$_{\rm star}$ of the PHIBSS2 galaxies at $z\sim0.5$. These low-$μ_\mathrm{H_2}$ galaxies are not compatible with the tail of a Gaussian distribution, hence they correspond to a new population of galaxies with normal SFRs but low gas content and low depletion times ($\lesssim 1$ Gyr), absent from previous surveys. We suggest that the star formation activity of these galaxies has not yet been diminished by their low fraction of cold molecular gas.
