红移 z=2-4 的星系年龄:FourStar 星系演化巡天候选星系的恒星种群合成

Galaxy Ages with Redshift z=2-4: Stellar Population Synthesis for Candidates in FourStar Galaxy Evolution Survey

Chong-yu Gao, Martin Lopez-Corredoira, Jun-jie Wei

AI总结:

本文利用 SED 拟合分析了 FourStar 巡天中 200 个红移 z=2-4 的 V 型非 AGN 星系年龄,发现高红移星系平均更年轻,但 z>2.5 后年龄无显著演化,且大质量星系形成更早。

摘要:

在高红移处发现的大量具有相对较老星系的观测结果对标准宇宙学内的星系形成情景提出了挑战。精确测定这些星系的平均年龄将有助于讨论这一问题。在此,我们对 FourStar 星系演化巡天目录中红移 $2<z<4$ 的 200 个 V 型 SED 非 AGN 星系的年龄进行了更好的约束,这些星系通过其光谱能量分布 (SED) 中的 V 型(具有莱曼和巴尔末断裂)来识别。SED 拟合包括一个主恒星种群,以及一个残余较年轻种群和消光。平均而言,星系在更高红移处更年轻。然而,对于 $z>2.5$ 的星系,我们未观察到其平均年龄的显著演化,所有星系的平均年龄大多保持在 1 到 2 Gyr 之间。我们的研究发现,样本中大多数大质量星系($\sim 10^{10} M_\odot$)比较小质量星系更老(通常 $>\sim 1$ Gyr),且形成时间更早。

英文摘要:

Observations of large amount of massive galaxies with relatively old populations found at high redshifts are challenging galaxy formation scenarios within standard cosmology. Precise determinations of the average age of these galaxies would be useful for the discussion of this problem. Here we carry out a better constraint of the age of 200 V-shaped SED non-AGN galaxies at redshifts $2<z<4$ of the catalog of FourStar Galaxy Evolution Survey, identified by V-shape in their spectral energy distribution (SED) with a Lyman and a Balmer break. SED fitting include a main stellar population in addition to a residual younger population and extinction. The galaxies are younger at higher redshift on average. However, for the galaxies with $z>2.5$, we do not see a significant evolution of their average age, with all average ages of galaxies mostly remaining between 1 and 2 Gyr. Our research find that most massive galaxies ($\sim 10^{10} M_\odot$ ) are older (typically $>\sim 1$ Gyr old) and formed earlier than less massive galaxies in our sample.
