THE DEEP2 GALAXY REDSHIFT SURVEY: COLOR AND LUMINOSITY DEPENDENCE OF GALAXY CLUSTERING AT z 1

چکیده
Wepresentmeasurements of the color and luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering at z 1 in theDEEP2Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using volume-limited subsamples in bins of both color and luminosity, we find the following: (1) The clustering dependence is much stronger with color than with luminosity and is as strong with color at z 1 as is found locally. We find no dependence of the clustering amplitude on color for galaxies on the red sequence, but a significant dependence on color for galaxies within the blue cloud. (2) For galaxies in the range L/L 0:7Y2, a stronger largescale luminosity dependence is seen for all galaxies than is seen for red and blue galaxies separately. The small-scale clustering amplitude depends significantly on luminosity for blue galaxies, with brighter samples having a stronger rise on scales rp < 0:5 h 1 Mpc. (3) Redder galaxies exhibit stronger small-scale redshift-space distortions (‘‘fingers of god’’), and both red and blue populations show large-scale distortions in (rp; ) due to coherent infall. (4)While the clustering length, r0, increases smoothly with galaxy color (in narrow bins), its power-law exponent, , exhibits a sharp jump from the blue cloud to the red sequence. The intermediate-color ‘‘green’’ galaxy population likely includes transitional galaxies moving from the blue cloud to the red sequence; on large scales green galaxies are as clustered as red galaxies but show infall kinematics and a small-scale correlation slope akin to the blue galaxy population. (5) We compare our results to a semianalytic galaxy formation model applied to the Millennium Run simulation. Differences between the data and the model suggest that in the model star formation is shut down too efficiently in satellite galaxies.

The Deep2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Color and Luminosity Dependence of Galaxy
We present measurements of the color and luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering at z ∼ 1 in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. Using volume-limited subsamples in bins of both color and luminosity, we find that: 1) The clustering dependence is much stronger with color than with luminosity and is as strong with color at z ∼ 1 as is found locally. We find no dependence of the clustering amplitu...
متن کاملThe Deep2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: the Relationship between Galaxy Properties and Environment
We study the mean environment of galaxies in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey as a function of rest-frame color, luminosity, and [OII] 3727Å equivalent width. The local galaxy overdensity for > 14, 000 galaxies at 0.75 < z < 1.35 is estimated using the projected 3-nearest-neighbor surface density. Of the galaxy properties studied, mean environment is found to depend most strongly on galaxy colo...
متن کاملThe Deep 2 Galaxy Redshift Survey : the Galaxy Luminosity Function to Z ∼
The evolution of the B-band galaxy luminosity function is measured using a sample of more than 11,000 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. The rest-frame MB versus U−B color-magnitude diagram of DEEP2 galaxies shows that the color-magnitude bimodality seen in galaxies locally is still present at redshifts z > 1. Dividing the sample at the trough of this color bi...

We measure the two-point correlation function ξ(rp, π) in a sample of 2219 galaxies between z = 0.7 − 1.35 to a magnitude limit of RAB = 24.1 from the first season of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. From ξ(rp, π) we recover the real-space correlation function, ξ(r), which we find can be approximated within the errors by a power-law, ξ(r) = (r/r0) −γ , on scales ∼ 0.1− 10 h Mpc. In a sample wi...

Using the first 25% of DEEP2 Redshift Survey data, we probe the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profile for isolated galaxies with absolute B-band magnitude −22 < MB − 5 log(h) < −21 at z=0.71.0, using satellite galaxies as luminous tracers of the underlying velocity distribution. Measuring the velocity dispersion beyond a galactocentric radius of ∼ 200hkpc (physical) permits us to determine ...
