近宇宙至z=0.5普通星系中热气体的光度演化

Luminosity Evolution of the Hot Gas in Normal Galaxies from the Near Universe to z=0.5

Dong-Woo Kim, Giuseppina Fabbiano

AI总结:

本文利用Chandra巡天中575个普通星系构建X射线光度函数,发现热气体X射线光度在过去50亿年内下降6-10倍,并指出高红移中等光度星系是解决失踪重子问题的最佳目标。

摘要:

我们利用X射线光度函数(XLF)探索了红移z=0.5(回溯时间=50亿年)以内普通星系中约10^7度热气体的演化,该XLF由五个高银纬Chandra宽场巡天中探测到的575个z<0.6的普通星系样本构建而成。在估计了热气体成分的辐射贡献后(样本缩减至约400个星系),我们比较了三个红移区间(z=0.1、0.3和0.5)的XLF,发现单位共动体积内的星系数量从z=0.1到0.3以及从z=0.3到0.5均有所增加。这些XLF变化表明热气体存在显著的(约5σ)X射线光度演化,LX,GAS在过去50亿年内(从z=0.5到0.1)下降了6-10倍。较高红移处LX,GAS约10^41 erg s^-1星系的相对丰度表明,高红移、中等LX,GAS的星系可能是解决失踪重子问题的最佳目标。在早型星系中,这一观测趋势在定性上与无AGN反馈的冷却流模型所预期的随时间变化的质量损失率一致(但幅度更大)。在晚型星系中,该观测趋势也在定性上与红移依赖的恒星形成率(SFR)效应一致(但幅度更大)。

英文摘要:

We explore the evolution of the ~107 degree hot gas in normal galaxies out to redshift = 0.5 (lookback time = 5 Gyr), using X-ray luminosity functions (XLF) built from a sample of 575 normal galaxies with z < 0.6 detected in five high galactic latitude Chandra wide-field surveys. After estimating the emission due to the hot gas component (reducing the sample to ~400 galaxies), we compared the XLF in three redshift bins (z = 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5), finding increases in the number of galaxies per unit co-moving volume from z = 0.1 to 0.3 and then from z = 0.3 to 0.5. These XLF changes suggest a significant (~5s) X-ray luminosity evolution of the hot gas, with LX,GAS decreasing by a factor of 6-10 in the last 5 Gyr (from z = 0.5 to 0.1). The relative abundance of LX,GAS~1041 erg s-1 galaxies at higher z, suggests that high z, moderate LX,GAS galaxies may be the optimal target to solve the missing baryon problem. In early-type galaxies, this observational trend is qualitatively consistent with (but larger than) the expected time-dependent mass-loss rate in cooling flow models without AGN feedback. In late-type galaxies, the observational trend is also qualitatively consistent with (but larger than) the effect of the z-dependent SFR.
