AI总结:

本研究利用DESI-Y1数据测量了红移0.75至1.65间ELGs周围由Mg II示踪的冷气体平均吸收,发现z>1时吸收信号和覆盖分数更高且与恒星质量及SFR相关,揭示了冷气体随红移的演化及从暗物质晕主导向晕-晕相关主导的转变。

摘要:

我们测量了由Mg II(${λλ2796, 2803}$)示踪的发射线星系(ELGs)周围冷气体的平均吸收,空间尺度跨度从20 kpc到10 Mpc。该测量基于将$z = 0.75-1.65$处约250万个ELGs的位置与140万个背景类星体光谱中的金属吸收进行交叉匹配,使用的数据由暗能量光谱仪(DESI)的第一年样本提供。ELGs被划分为两个红移区间:$0.75 < z < 1.0$和$1.0 < z < 1.65$。我们发现通过叠加ELG-QSO对构建的复合光谱显示出随红移的演化,其中$z>1$具有系统更高的Mg II吸收信号。在1 Mpc内,$z > 1$的冷气体覆盖分数高于$z < 1$。如果投影距离$r_{p}>$1 Mpc,这种增强变得不那么明显。此外,在$z<1$时具有较高恒星质量和恒星形成率(SFR)的ELGs产生更高的Mg II吸收体聚集。对于$z>1$,不同SFR的覆盖分数几乎没有差异。较高红移处较高的Mg II吸收也支持了宇宙正午时期较高恒星形成的观测。此外,Mg II吸收的轮廓揭示了在约1 Mpc尺度上的斜率变化,这与预期的从暗物质晕主导环境向晕-晕相关主导的聚集状态的转变一致。我们估计了冷气体密度分布并推导了不同红移处的金属丰度。金属丰度的增长表明,在更高红移处星系际介质(IGM)中冷气体的存在增加。

英文摘要:

We present a measurement of the mean absorption of cool gas traced by Mg II (${λλ2796, 2803}$) around emission line galaxies (ELGs), spanning spatial scales from 20 kpc to 10 Mpc. The measurement is based on cross-matching the positions of about 2.5 million ELGs at $z = 0.75-1.65$ and the metal absorption in the spectra of 1.4 million background quasars with data provided by the Year 1 sample of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The ELGs are divided into two redshift intervals: $0.75 < z < 1.0$ and $1.0 < z < 1.65$. We find that the composite spectra constructed by stacking the ELG-QSO pairs show evolution with redshift, with $z>1$ having a systematically higher signal of Mg II absorption. Within 1 Mpc, the covering fraction of the cool gas at $z > 1$ is higher than that of $z < 1$. The enhancement becomes less apparent especially if the projected distance $r_{p}>$1 Mpc. Also, ELGs with higher stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) yield higher clustering of Mg II absorbers at $z<1$. For $z>1$, the covering fractions with different SFRs show little difference. The higher Mg II absorption at higher redshift also supports the observations of higher star formation at cosmic noon. Besides, the profile of Mg II absorption reveals a change of slope on scales of about 1 Mpc, consistent with the expected transition from a dark matter halo-dominated environment to a regime where clustering is dominated by halo-halo correlations. We estimate the cool gas density profile and derive the metal abundance at different redshifts. The growth of metal abundance suggests an increased presence of cool gas in the intergalactic medium (IGM) towards higher redshifts.
