The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Using concentrated star formation and stellar population ages to understand environmental quenching
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study environmental quenching using the spatial distribution of current star-formation and stellar population ages with full SAMI Galaxy Survey. By a concentration index [C-index, defined as log10(r_{50,Halpha}/r_{50,cont})], we separate our sample into regular galaxies (C-index>-0.2) centrally concentrated (SF-concentrated; C-index<-0.2). Concentrated is potential indicator currently undergoing `outside-in' quenching. Our environments cover ungrouped galaxies, low-mass groups (M_200<10^12.5 M_sun), high-mass (M_200 in range 10^{12.5-14} M_sun) clusters (M_200>10^14 M_sun). find fraction SF-concentrated increases halo mass 9\pm2 per cent, 8\pm3 19\pm4 cent 29\pm4 for groups, clusters, respectively. interpret these results evidence clusters. To investigate time-scale calculate light-weighted age (Age_L) mass-weighted (Age_M) spectral fitting, well Dn4000 Hdelta_A indices. assume that average galaxy radial profile before entering group or cluster similar to galaxies. At large radius (1-2 R_e), have older than an difference 1.83\pm0.38 Gyr Age_L 1.34\pm0.56 Age_M. This suggests while can be effective process will not quickly quench entire galaxy. In contrast, at 1-2 R_e are consistent (0.19\pm0.21 Age_L, 0.40\pm0.61 Age_M), suggesting must rapid.

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملThe 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The environmental dependence of galaxy star formation rates near clusters
We have measured the equivalent width of the Hα emission line for 11006 galaxies brighter than Mb = −19 (ΩΛ = 0.7, Ωm = 0.3, H0 = 70 km s Mpc) at 0.05 < z < 0.1 in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), in the fields of seventeen known galaxy clusters. The limited redshift range ensures that our results are insensitive to aperture bias, and to residuals from night sky emission lines. We use t...
متن کاملThe Dependence of Star Formation on Galaxy Stellar Mass
We combine Spitzer 24 μm observations with data from the COMBO-17 survey for ∼15,000 0.2 < z ≤ 1 galaxies to determine how the average star formation rates (SFR) have evolved for galaxy sub-populations of different stellar masses. In the determination of we consider both the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared (IR) luminosities, and account for the contributions of galaxies that are individ...
متن کاملStellar Population Diagnostics of Elliptical Galaxy Formation
Major progress has been achieved in recent years in mapping the properties of passively-evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift ∼ 2. Here, age and metallicity estimates for local cluster and field ETGs are reviewed as based on color-magnitude, color-σ, and fundamental plane relations, as well as on spectral-line indices diagnostics. The results of app...
متن کاملQuenching of Star Formation
In the last decade we have seen an enormous increase in the size and quality of spectroscopic galaxy surveys, both at low and high redshift. New statistical techniques to analyse large portions of galaxy spectra are now finding favour over traditional index based methods. Here we will review a new robust and iterative Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm, which solves several common iss...
