AI总结:

本研究利用MAGPI巡天77个中等红移星系样本,通过统计技术分离环境因素,发现平均$h_4$与群动力学质量显著相关,并证实自旋参数$λ_{R_e}$与年龄的强反相关在z~0.3时已确立。

摘要:

星系的恒星年龄与质量被认为是星系动力学状态的主要决定因素,而环境似乎不起作用或仅起非常微小的作用。我们利用MAGPI巡天中处于中等红移(z~0.3)的77个星系样本,研究环境对星系动力学的微妙影响。我们结合统计技术(简单相关、偏相关和主成分分析)来分离环境对星系动力学的贡献,同时明确考虑了恒星年龄、恒星形成历史和恒星质量等已知因素。我们考虑的动力学参数包括:视线速度分布的高阶运动学(由Gauss-Hermite系数$h_3$和$h_4$参数化)、使用kinemetry导出的运动学不对称性$V_{\ m asym}$以及观测自旋参数代理$λ_{R_e}$。其中,平均$h_4$是唯一被发现与以群动力学质量参数化的环境存在显著相关的参数。即使在考虑了年龄和恒星质量趋势之后,这种相关性依然存在。最后,我们证实自旋参数$λ_{R_e}$的变化与年龄呈最强(反)相关,这与局部研究的结果一致,并表明这种依赖关系在z~0.3时已确立。

英文摘要:

The stellar age and mass of galaxies have been suggested as the primary determinants for the dynamical state of galaxies, with environment seemingly playing no or only a very minor role. We use a sample of 77 galaxies at intermediate redshift (z~0.3) in the Middle-Ages Galaxies Properties with Integral field spectroscopy (MAGPI) Survey to study the subtle impact of environment on galaxy dynamics. We use a combination of statistical techniques (simple and partial correlations and principal component analysis) to isolate the contribution of environment on galaxy dynamics, while explicitly accounting for known factors such as stellar age, star formation histories and stellar masses. We consider these dynamical parameters: high-order kinematics of the line-of-sight velocity distribution (parametrised by the Gauss-Hermite coefficients $h_3$ and $h_4$), kinematic asymmetries $V_{\rm asym}$ derived using kinemetry and the observational spin parameter proxy $λ_{R_e}$. Of these, the mean $h_4$ is the only parameter found to have a significant correlation with environment as parametrised by group dynamical mass. This correlation exists even after accounting for age and stellar mass trends. Finally, we confirm that variations in the spin parameter $λ_{R_e}$ are most strongly (anti-)correlated with age as seen in local studies, and show that this dependence is well-established by z~0.3.
