The changes in colors across a galaxy are intimately connected to the galaxy's formation, growth, quenching history, and dust content. A particularly important epoch in the growth of galaxies is near $z \sim 2$ often referred to as `cosmic noon', where galaxies on average reach the peak of their star formation. We study a population of 125 cluster galaxies at $z \sim 1.6$ in three Hubble Space Telescope (HST) filters, F475W, F625W, and F160W, roughly corresponding to the rest-frame FUV, NUV, and r band, respectively. By comparing to a control sample of 200 field galaxies at similar redshift, we reveal clear, statistically significant differences in the overall spatially resolved colors and color gradients in galaxies across these two different environments. On average, cluster galaxies have redder UV colors in both the inner and outer regions bounded by $r_{\mathrm{50}}$, as well as an overall wider dispersion of outside-in color gradients. The presence of these observed differences, along with evidence from ancillary data from previous studies, strongly suggests that the environment drives these population-level color differences, by affecting the stellar populations and/or dust content.

Environmental dependence of AGN activity. I.: the effects of host galaxy
利用SDSS DR 5中选取的大样本(144,940个)(-17.5< Mr <-22,0.025 < z <0.107),我们在匹配的光度、速度色散、颜色、颜色梯度或浓度指数下比较了活动星系核宿主星系和非活动星系核星系,以研究活动星系核活动与星系性质的关系。活动星系核样品是由窄发射线通量比大于6的II型活动星系核组成。我们发现,活动星系核所占的比例(f_AGN)强烈地依赖于星系的形态和颜色,而与宿主星系的光度和速度色散关系很弱。特别是在色固定的情况下,早型星系活动星系核的f_AGN几乎不受光度和速度色散的影响。活动星系核对早型宿主星系的偏好色为u-r ~2.0,对晚型宿主星系的偏好色为u-r=2.0-2.4。这一趋势表明,活动星系核主要由中等质量的晚型星系承载。我们还研究了吸积功率如何随星系性质而变化。虽然爱丁顿比([OIII]线亮度归一化的黑洞质量)的范围超过三个数量级的形态类型,晚型星系是所有活动星系核功率的主导主机。在晚型星系中,蓝颜色的星系拥有更高功率的活动星系核。这些结果与一种假设是一致的,即更大质量和更红的星系更难容纳AGN,因为这些星系已经消耗了中心的气体,或者没有足够的气体供应来喂养黑洞。相比之下,中等质量、中等颜色和更集中的晚型星系更有可能拥有活动星系核,这意味着可能有一部分低质量、蓝色和不太集中的晚型星系可能没有大质量黑洞,或者可能拥有非常低功率的活动星系核。
