摘要:

测量HI-晕质量标度关系(HIHM)是理解HI在星系形成中的作用及其与结构形成的联系的基础。虽然使用HI光谱叠加可以直接测量晕圈中的HI质量,但报告的关系形状取决于测量它所使用的技术(例如,随质量单调增加与平坦,质量无关)。使用模拟HI和光学调查产生的SHARK半解析星系形成模型,我们调查如何以及不同的观测技术可以恢复内在的,理论上预测的,HIHM关系。我们运行了星系群探测器,并模拟了不同巡天所采用的HI叠加过程,发现我们可以重现它们的观测导出的HIHM关系。然而,所采用的技术都没有恢复由模拟预测的潜在HIHM关系。我们发现,星系团的晕质量估计系统的影响修改的HIHM关系的推断形状的内在的模拟,而污染的星系,不相关的群体,有助于推断HI质量的晕质量仓,当使用大的速度窗口堆叠。污染的影响在Mvir~10^(12-12.5)Msol时最大。叠加方法的基础上总结的HI发射光谱,推断属于一个组的不同属性的星系的平均HI质量遭受最小的污染,但强烈限制使用光学同行,错过了矮星系的贡献。深度光谱测量将提供显著的改进,在保持高光谱完整性的同时进行更深的测量;例如,WAVES测量将恢复Mvir~10^(14)Msol的组的总HI质量的~52%,而GAMA测量仅为~21%。

英文摘要:

Measuring the HI-halo mass scaling relation (HIHM) is fundamental to understanding the role of HI in galaxy formation and its connection to structure formation. While direct measurements of the HI mass in haloes are possible using HI-spectral stacking, the reported shape of the relation depends on the techniques used to measure it (e.g. monotonically increasing with mass versus flat, mass-independent). Using a simulated HI and optical survey produced with the SHARK semi-analytic galaxy formation model, we investigate how well different observational techniques can recover the intrinsic, theoretically predicted, HIHM relation. We run a galaxy group finder and mimic the HI stacking procedure adopted by different surveys and find we can reproduce their observationally derived HIHM relation. However, none of the adopted techniques recover the underlying HIHM relation predicted by the simulation. We find that systematic effects in halo mass estimates of galaxy groups modify the inferred shape of the HIHM relation from the intrinsic one in the simulation, while contamination by interloping galaxies, not associated with the groups, contribute to the inferred HI mass of a halo mass bin, when using large velocity windows for stacking. The effect of contamination is maximal at Mvir~10^(12-12.5)Msol. Stacking methods based on summing the HI emission spectra to infer the mean HI mass of galaxies of different properties belonging to a group suffer minimal contamination but are strongly limited by the use of optical counterparts, which miss the contribution of dwarf galaxies. Deep spectroscopic surveys will provide significant improvements by going deeper while maintaining high spectroscopic completeness; for example, the WAVES survey will recover ~52% of the total HI mass of the groups with Mvir~10^(14)Msol compared to ~21% in GAMA.
