9 Sep 2011 | | Abstract: | We study the impact of galaxy-galaxy interactions on the FIR properties of
galaxies and its evolution at 0<z<1.2. Using the high-z galaxies in the fields
of GOODS observed by Herschel in the framework of the GOODS-Herschel key
program and the local IRAS or AKARI-selected galaxies in the field of SDSS DR7,
we investigate the dependence of galaxy properties on the morphology of and the
distance to the nearest neighbor galaxy. We find that the SFRs and the SSFRs of
galaxies, on average, depend on the morphology of and the distance to the
nearest neighbor galaxy in this redshift range. When a late-type galaxy has a
close neighbor galaxy, the SFR and the SSFR increase as it approaches a
late-type neighbor, which is supported by K-S and MC tests with a significance
level of >99%. However, the SFR and the SSFR decrease or do not change much as
it approaches an early-type neighbor. The bifurcations of SFRs and SSFRs
depending on the neighbor’s morphology seem to occur at R_n~0.5r_vir,nei, which
is supported by K-S and MC tests with a significance level of >98%. For all
redshift bins, the SSFRs of late-type galaxies interacting with late-type
neighbors are increased by factors of about 1.8+/-0.7 and 4.0+/-1.2 compared to
those of non-interacting galaxies when the pair separation is smaller than
0.5r_vir,nei and 0.1r_vir,nei, respectively. The Tdust of both local and high-z
late-type galaxies strongly interacting with late-type neighbors (i.e. R_n <
0.1r_vir,nei) appears to be higher than that of non-interacting galaxies with a
significance level of 96-99%. However, Tdust of local late-type galaxies
strongly interacting with early-type neighbors seems to be lower than or
similar to that of non-interacting galaxies. Our results suggest that
galaxy-galaxy interactions and mergers have been strongly affecting the SFR and
the dust properties of star-forming galaxies over at least 8 billion years. | | Source: | arXiv, 1109.1937 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
