AI总结:

本文利用MIGHTEE-HI样本研究过去十亿年的HI质量-恒星质量关系,通过贝叶斯方法发现该关系存在转折点,支持大质量星系因缺HI气体导致恒星形成率下降的观点,并提供了基准测量。

摘要:

我们利用MIGHTEE-HI样本研究了过去十亿年间的$M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$关系。我们首先采用贝叶斯技术对总共249个HI选星系样本的$M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$关系上包络进行建模,不进行数据分箱,同时考虑内禀弥散。我们用线性和非线性模型拟合该包络,发现非线性模型优于线性模型,测得的过渡恒星质量为$\log_{10}(M_\star$/$M_{\odot})$ = $9.15\pm0.87$,超过该质量后斜率趋于平缓。这一发现支持了如下观点:HI气体的缺乏最终导致大质量主序星系中观测到的恒星形成率下降。仅就旋涡星系而言,它们在我们的样本中偏向于大质量星系,其过渡质量之后的斜率比全样本更平缓,表明旋涡星系/大质量星系与恒星质量较低的其他类型星系之间存在不同的气体过程。随后,我们为MIGHTEE-HI的探测和非探测构建了模拟星表,包含晚型星系和早型星系两大星系族群,以测量潜在的$M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$关系。我们发现,无论将两个星系族群作为整体还是分别考虑,该关系中的转折都持续存在。我们注意到,潜在的线性关系可能在观测到的标度关系中模拟出这一转折,但带有转折的模型受到强烈偏好。我们提供了HI质量对数平均值对恒星质量的测量结果,作为未来研究的基准。

英文摘要:

We study the $M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$ relation over the last billion years using the MIGHTEE-HI sample. We first model the upper envelope of the $M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$ relation with a Bayesian technique applied to a total number of 249 HI-selected galaxies, without binning the datasets, while taking account of the intrinsic scatter. We fit the envelope with both linear and non-linear models, and find that the non-linear model is preferred over the linear one with a measured transition stellar mass of $\log_{10}(M_\star$/$M_{\odot})$ = $9.15\pm0.87$, beyond which the slope flattens. This finding supports the view that the lack of HI gas is ultimately responsible for the decreasing star formation rate observed in the massive main-sequence galaxies. For spirals alone, which are biased towards the massive galaxies in our sample, the slope beyond the transition mass is shallower than for the full sample, indicative of distinct gas processes ongoing for the spirals/high-mass galaxies from other types with lower stellar masses. We then create mock catalogues for the MIGHTEE-HI detections and non-detections with two main galaxy populations of late- and early-type galaxies to measure the underlying $M_{\rm HI}-M_{\star}$ relation. We find that the turnover in this relation persists whether considering the two galaxy populations as a whole or separately. We note that an underlying linear relation could mimic this turnover in the observed scaling relation, but a model with a turnover is strongly preferred. Measurements on the logarithmic average of HI masses against the stellar mass are provided as a benchmark for future studies.
