Conditions for galaxy quenching at 0.5 < z < 2.5 from CANDELS: compact cores and environment
RESEARCH IN ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS（2020）
摘要
We investigate two classes of conditions for galaxy quenching at 0.5 10(10)M(circle dot)) have much higher stellar mass surface densities within the central 1 kpc (sigma(1)) and smaller sizes than star-forming galaxies in the same stellar mass range. In addition, the quiescent fractions significantly increase with the increase of sigma(1)regardless of whether galaxies are centrals or satellites. In contrast, we find that the overall lower-mass quiescent galaxies (M*M circle dot) have slightly higher sigma(1)and comparable sizes compared to star-forming galaxies of the same mass and at the same redshift. Atz< 1.5, satellites have higher halo masses and larger quiescent fractions than those of centrals at a given sigma(1)(stellar mass). Our findings indicate that the significant growth of the galaxy cores is closely related to the quenching of massive galaxies since z similar to 2.5, while the environmental effect plays an important role in the quenching of low-mass galaxies atz less than or similar to 1.5.
