论文摘要
我介绍了PPXF方法的一些改进,该方法测量了星系的恒星和气体运动学,星形形成历史(SFH)和化学组成。我描述了PPXF使用的新优化算法以及我同时拟合光谱和光度法所做的更改。我将更新的PPXF方法应用于3200个星系的样本,红移$ 0.6 <z <1 $(中位$ z = 0.76 $,使用LEGA-C SUPERATION(DR3)和28- Bands Phote的光谱,使用光谱的光谱,$ M_ \ AST> 3 \ ast> 3 \ times10^{10} $ m $ _ \ odot $)我将新的JAM动力学模型的质量与PPXF恒星总体$ M_ \ AST $进行比较,并显示后者比以前的估计更可靠。我在PPXF和两个光度源中使用了三种不同的恒星种群合成(SPS)模型。我证实了星系的全球年龄和金属性$ [m/h] $的主要趋势,其恒星速度分散$σ_\ ast $(或中央密度),但我也发现$ [m/h] $取决于固定$σ_\ ast $的年龄。 SFHS揭示了从星形形成到淬火星系的急剧过渡,该星系具有$ \ lg(σ_\ ast/\ mathrm {km \,s^{ - 1}})> 2.3 $,或平均质量密度在1 kpc $ \ lg(σ_1^{σ_1^{\ rm jam} {\ rm jam}/\ math kpc^{ - 2}})> 9.9 $,或使用$ [m/h]> -0.1 $,或带有刻有sersic索引$ \ lg n _ {\ rm ser}> 0.5 $。但是,由于$ m_ \ ast $的函数,过渡更加顺畅。对于两个SPS模型和两个光度源,这些结果是一致的,但是它们与第三SPS模型显着差异,这证明了比较模型假设的重要性。 PPXF软件可从https://pypi.org/project/ppxf/获得。
I introduce some improvements to the pPXF method, which measures the stellar and gas kinematics, star formation history (SFH) and chemical composition of galaxies. I describe the new optimization algorithm that pPXF uses and the changes I made to fit both spectra and photometry simultaneously. I apply the updated pPXF method to a sample of 3200 galaxies at redshift $0.6<z<1$ (median $z=0.76$, stellar mass $M_\ast>3\times10^{10}$ M$_\odot$), using spectroscopy from the LEGA-C survey (DR3) and 28-bands photometry from two different sources. I compare the masses from new JAM dynamical models with the pPXF stellar population $M_\ast$ and show the latter are more reliable than previous estimates. I use three different stellar population synthesis (SPS) models in pPXF and both photometric sources. I confirm the main trend of the galaxies' global ages and metallicity $[M/H]$ with stellar velocity dispersion $σ_\ast$ (or central density), but I also find that $[M/H]$ depends on age at fixed $σ_\ast$. The SFHs reveal a sharp transition from star formation to quenching for galaxies with $\lg(σ_\ast/\mathrm{km\, s^{-1}})>2.3$, or average mass density within 1 kpc $\lg(Σ_1^{\rm JAM}/\mathrm{M_\odot kpc^{-2}})>9.9$, or with $[M/H]>-0.1$, or with Sersic index $\lg n_{\rm Ser}>0.5$. However, the transition is smoother as a function of $M_\ast$. These results are consistent for two SPS models and both photometric sources, but they differ significantly from the third SPS model, which demonstrates the importance of comparing model assumptions.
