摘要:

我们提出了观测到的$204$星系的HI尺寸质量关系的MIGHTEE调查早期科学的数据。MeerKAT的高灵敏度使我们能够探测到HI质量超过4个数量级的星系,从矮星系到大质量螺旋星系,包括所有形态类型。这是第一次在一个盲目的同质数据集上探索这种关系,该数据集覆盖了以前未探索过的红移范围$0 < z < 0.084$,即宇宙时间中大约10亿年的时间。样品遵循从先前工作中导出的HI盘的直径($D_{\rm HI}$)和质量($M_{\rm HI}$)之间的相同紧密对数关系。我们测量$0.501\pm 0.008$的斜率、$-3.252^{+0.073}_{-0.074}$的截距和观测到的$0.057$ dex的分散。我们首次对$0.054 \pm 0.003$ dex(${\sim} 10 \%$)的内禀散射进行了定量,这为星系形成和演化的宇宙学模拟提供了一个约束。我们推导出作为星系类型的函数的关系,并发现它们的内在散射和斜率是一致的误差范围内。我们还计算了两个红移仓的$D_{\rm HI} - M_{\rm HI}$关系,并没有发现任何证据与红移演化。这些结果表明,在10亿年的回顾时间内,星系盘的气体分布和平均表面质量密度没有发生显着的演变,表明缺乏对形态类型和红移的依赖。

英文摘要:

We present the observed HI size-mass relation of $204$ galaxies from the MIGHTEE Survey Early Science data. The high sensitivity of MeerKAT allows us to detect galaxies spanning more than 4 orders of magnitude in HI mass, ranging from dwarf galaxies to massive spirals, and including all morphological types. This is the first time the relation has been explored on a blind homogeneous data set which extends over a previously unexplored redshift range of $0 < z < 0.084$, i.e. a period of around one billion years in cosmic time. The sample follows the same tight logarithmic relation derived from previous work, between the diameter ($D_{\rm HI}$) and the mass ($M_{\rm HI}$) of HI discs. We measure a slope of $0.501\pm 0.008$, an intercept of $-3.252^{+0.073}_{-0.074}$, and an observed scatter of $0.057$ dex. For the first time, we quantify the intrinsic scatter of $0.054 \pm 0.003$ dex (${\sim} 10 \%$), which provides a constraint for cosmological simulations of galaxy formation and evolution. We derive the relation as a function of galaxy type and find that their intrinsic scatters and slopes are consistent within the errors. We also calculate the $D_{\rm HI} - M_{\rm HI}$ relation for two redshift bins and do not find any evidence for evolution with redshift. These results suggest that over a period of one billion years in lookback time, galaxy discs have not undergone significant evolution in their gas distribution and mean surface mass density, indicating a lack of dependence on both morphological type and redshift.
