摘要:

我们构造恒星形成星系演化的经验模型,假设单个星系沿着恒星质量,气体质量和恒星形成速率之间的标度关系演化,下面是一个简单的描述化学演化。我们测试这些模型与观测和详细的Magneticum高分辨率流体动力学宇宙学模拟的比较。比较了星系恒星形成率、恒星质量、气体质量、年龄、星际介质和恒星金属丰度。结果发现,这些简单的回望模型捕捉到了星系演化的许多关键方面相当不错。星系星际介质气体质量和恒星质量之间的红移依赖幂律关系的关键假设与复杂的Magneticum模拟的结果一致。恒星形成率向较低的红移下降,不是因为星系耗尽了气体,而是因为能够产生恒星的冷ISM气体的比例变得明显更小。在这两种模式的方法中的气体吸积率是相同的数量级。正如回顾模型所预测的那样,Magneticum模拟中的金属丰度随着恒星质量与气体质量之比的增加而增加。的质量金属丰度关系同意和这些关系的恒星形成率的依赖性也被再现。我们的结论是,这些简单的模型提供了一个强大的工具,用于约束和解释更复杂的模型的基础上宇宙学模拟和人口综合研究分析综合光谱的恒星星族。

英文摘要:

We construct empirical models of star-forming galaxy evolution assuming that individual galaxies evolve along well-known scaling relations between stellar mass, gas mass and star formation rate following a simple description of chemical evolution. We test these models by a comparison with observations and with detailed Magneticum high resolution hydrodynamic cosmological simulations. Galaxy star formation rates, stellar masses, gas masses, ages, interstellar medium and stellar metallicities are compared. It is found that these simple lookback models capture many of the crucial aspects of galaxy evolution reasonably well. Their key assumption of a redshift dependent power law relationship between galaxy interstellar medium gas mass and stellar mass is in agreement with the outcome of the complex Magneticum simulations. Star formation rates decline towards lower redshift not because galaxies are running out of gas, but because the fraction of the cold ISM gas, which is capable of producing stars, becomes significantly smaller. Gas accretion rates in both model approaches are of the same order of magnitude. Metallicity in the Magneticum simulations increases with the ratio of stellar mass to gas mass as predicted by the lookback models. The mass metallicity relationships agree and the star formation rate dependence of these relationships is also reproduced. We conclude that these simple models provide a powerful tool for constraining and interpreting more complex models based on cosmological simulations and for population synthesis studies analyzing integrated spectra of stellar populations.
