我们为3<z<5的14个静止星系(log10(M*/M⊙)>10)提供了深的中分辨率λ=1-5μm JWST/NIRSpec光谱数据,这些数据是EXCELS调查的一部分。我们对这些数据进行了完整的重新处理,包括一种自定义的最优提取方法,以对抗由NIRSpec空间PSF欠采样导致的光谱'波浪'。我们通过完整的光谱拟合来约束这些对象的恒星形成历史和恒星金属度,发现了一个清晰的恒星年龄与恒星质量的相关性,其中更高质量的星系在更早的时间组装了恒星质量。这证实了光谱学上考古'下缩'趋势在z≈4时已经存在。我们测量的关系斜率(约1.5 Gyr per dex in stellar mass)与0 < z < 3的文献结果一致。我们没有观测到log10(M*/M⊙)≤10.5且年龄超过几百年Myr的天体,这表明最近报告的这些质量的高红移静止星系可能很快会重新活跃。我们测量了大多数样本的恒星金属度相对较高,与0 < z < 3的类似对象一致。最后,我们探讨了样本中六个更古老且更明亮的星系中α增强的证据,发现使用不同恒星群体模型、不同拟合的静止框架波长范围、恒星形成历史模型和拟合代码测量的化学丰度存在显著差异。因此,我们得出结论,推断最早静止星系的详细恒星化学丰度仍然具有挑战性,需要更高信噪比的光谱(每个分辨率元素的信噪比>100对于R≈1000)
英文摘要:
We present deep, medium-resolution $λ=1-5\,μ$m JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy for 14 quiescent galaxies at $3<z<5$ with $\log_{10}(M_*/\mathrm{M_\odot}){\,>\,}10$, obtained as part of the EXCELS survey. We perform a complete re-reduction of these data, including a custom optimal-extraction approach to combat the spectral "wiggles" that result from undersampling of the NIRSpec spatial PSF. We constrain the star-formation histories and stellar metallicities of these objects via full-spectral fitting, finding a clear stellar age vs stellar mass correlation, in which more massive galaxies assembled their stellar mass at earlier times. This confirms spectroscopically that the archaeological "downsizing" trend was already in place by $z\simeq4$. The slope of our measured relation ($\simeq1.5$ Gyr per dex in stellar mass) is consistent with literature results at $0 < z < 3$. We do not observe objects with $\log_{10}(M_*/\mathrm{M_\odot})\lesssim10.5$ and ages of more than a few hundred Myr at this epoch, suggesting that recently reported examples of higher-redshift quiescent galaxies at these masses are likely to soon rejuvenate. We measure relatively high stellar metallicities for the majority of our sample, consistent with similar objects at $0 < z < 3$. Finally, we explore evidence for $α$-enhancement in six older and more luminous galaxies within our sample, finding considerable disagreements in the chemical abundances measured using different stellar population models, different fitted rest-frame wavelength ranges, star-formation history models and fitting codes. We therefore conclude that inferring detailed stellar chemical abundances for the earliest quiescent galaxies remains challenging, and higher signal-to-noise spectra are required (SNR per resolution element $>100$ for $R\simeq1000$).
The morphological evolution, AGN fractions, dust content, environments, and downsizing of massive green valley galaxies at 0.5<z<2.5 in 3D-HST/CANDELS
为了探讨红、绿、蓝星系群之间的演化联系,我们以5个3D-HST/CANDELS场中0.5<z<2.5的大质量($M_* > 10^{10} M_{\odot} $)星系为样本,研究了这3个星系群的尘埃含量、形态、结构、活动星系核分数和环境。绿谷星系被发现有中等的尘埃衰减,并居住在中间的区域所占据的静止和恒星形成星系的UVJ图。与z<2的蓝色和红色星系相比,绿色星系具有中等的紧凑性和形态参数,如Sersic指数,浓度,Gini系数和星系20%最亮像素的二阶矩。上述发现似乎支持了这样一种假设,即当恒星形成星系被淬灭进入静止状态时,绿色星系正处于过渡阶段。z<2的绿色星系显示出最高的活动星系核分数,这表明活动星系核反馈可能在恒星形成猝灭中发挥了重要作用。对于2<z<2.5的大质量星系,红星系和绿星系的活动星系核分数都比蓝星系高,这意味着活动星系核反馈可能有助于保持z>2的红星系的静止。在z = 0.5时,绿星系和红星系的<1.5. Green and blue galaxies at z>局域密度分布相似,表明在z>0.5时,环境猝灭不是停止恒星形成的主要机制。作为质量的函数的三个人口的分数支持一个“缩小”淬火图片,大部分的恒星形成在更大质量的星系比低质量的星系早完成。
