摘要:

在广泛的星系性质范围内精确测量恒星质量对于更好地约束星系演化模型至关重要。发射线星系(ELG)往往比连续谱选择的天体有更好的红移估计,并且已经被证明跨越了很大范围的物理性质,包括恒星质量。使用来自3D-HST Treasury计划的数据,我们构建了一个仔细审查的4350个ELG样本,红移为1.16<z<1.90。我们通过近红外测光将3D-HST发射线通量与远紫外辐射结合起来,并使用MCSED光谱能量分布拟合代码来约束星系的物理参数,如它们的恒星形成率(SFR)和恒星质量。我们的样品符合z~2质量-金属丰度关系。更重要的是,我们发现在近红外滤波器中恒星质量和绝对星等之间存在简单但紧密的相关性,这对于在即将到来的任务中快速计算数百万个星系的准确恒星质量特别有用,例如欧几里得和南希格雷斯罗马太空望远镜。

英文摘要:

The accurate measurement of stellar masses over a wide range of galaxy properties is essential for better constraining models of galaxy evolution. Emission line galaxies (ELGs) tend to have better redshift estimates than continuum-selected objects and have been shown to span a large range of physical properties, including stellar mass. Using data from the 3D-HST Treasury program, we construct a carefully vetted sample of 4350 ELGs at redshifts 1.16<z<1.90. We combine the 3D-HST emission line fluxes with far-UV through near-IR photometry and use the MCSED spectral energy distribution fitting code to constrain the galaxies' physical parameters, such as their star formation rate (SFRs) and stellar masses. Our sample is consistent with the z~2 mass-metallicity relation. More importantly, we show there is a simple but tight correlation between stellar mass and absolute magnitude in a near-IR filter that will be particularly useful in quickly calculating accurate stellar masses for millions of galaxies in upcoming missions such as Euclid and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
