摘要:

本文用$-24 < M_r < -21.5$在$0.3 < z < 0.7$上导出了一个场发光红星系样品的紫外上翻色的演化。没有一个单独的物体被安全地探测到,所以我们把几百个星系放在绝对星等和红移间隔内。我们发现,紫外光的颜色(在观察到的$NUV-i$,这是近似相当于经典的$FUV-V$在我们的目标的红移)不改变强烈的红移到$z=0.7$。这种行为是类似于观察到的集群椭圆在这个相同的质量范围内,在类似的红移,我们推测,在起源中所涉及的过程中的紫外线上翘是相同的。观测结果与光谱合成模型最为一致,该模型包含一小部分氦丰度在37%和42%之间的富氦恒星星族,尽管我们不能正式排除$\sim 0.5\%$水平上的残余恒星形成的贡献(然而,对于被认为更淬灭的星系团星系来说,这似乎不太可能)。这表明,紫外线的上翘是一个原始的早期类型的星系在所有的红移和一个意想不到的核合成通道可能会导致几乎完全的化学演化在早期的特点。

英文摘要:

We derive the evolution of the ultraviolet upturn colour from a sample of field luminous red galaxies at $0.3 < z < 0.7$ with $-24 < M_r < -21.5$. No individual objects are securely detected, so we stack several hundred galaxies within absolute magnitude and redshift intervals. We find that the colour of the ultraviolet upturn (in observed $NUV-i$ which is approximately equivalent to the classical $FUV-V$ at the redshifts of our targets) does not change strongly with redshift to $z=0.7$. This behaviour is similar to that observed in cluster ellipticals over this same mass range and at similar redshifts and we speculate that the processes involved in the origin of the UV upturn are the same. The observations are most consistent with spectral synthesis models containing a fraction of a helium rich stellar population with abundances between 37\% and 42\%, although we cannot formally exclude a contribution due to residual star formation at the $\sim 0.5\%$ level (however, this appears unlikely for cluster galaxies that are believed to be more quenched). This suggests that the ultraviolet upturn is a primordial characteristic of early type galaxies at all redshifts and that an unexpected nucleosynthesis channel may lead to nearly complete chemical evolution at early times.
