Quenched and Quenching Galaxies at Low to High Redshifts S.M. Faber & UCSC and CANDELS collaborators Dekel60 Fest December 13, 2011 M31: UV GALEX

Quenching Scenarios for Central Galaxies Halo-based Massive halo quenching: “cold flows” to hot halos + AGN (“radio mode”) Bulge-building Major merger -> starburst + AGN Minor mergers + AGN Disk instability + AGN Disk secular evolution + AGN Morphological quenching (Toomre Q) Hopping/rejuvenation Mergers Stochastic accretion Correlate with galaxy properties Correlate with halo properties

Part I: Quenching of central SDSS galaxies at z ~ 0 with halo mass vs. stellar mass Joanna Woo & Avishai Dekel Joanna
4
Probability of quenching vs. M* and M halo Woo et al. 2011 Contours run vertically. Quenching correlates better with halo mass than with stellar mass.
5
Part II: HST UV images of nearby Green Valley galaxies Jerome Fang, Samir Salim, S. M. Faber, et al. Jerome
6
HST UV images of SDSS green valley galaxies Fang, Salim et al. 2011 20 galaxies imaged with HST SBC. Sample lies in bluer part of green valley.
7
HST FUV images Fang, Salim et al. 2011
8
HST sample vs. general green valley Fang, Salim et al. 2011 Many more GV galaxies with similar properties.

Colors imply underlying substrate of older stars Fang, Salim et al. 2011 ESFETGs Mass- matched in blue cloud Fang, Salim et al. 2011

Part III: Structure of AEGIS galaxies on Red Sequence vs. Blue Cloud at z ~ 0.8 Edmond Cheung, Liz McGrath, & David Koo Edmond
13
Try different combinations of mass and radius Cheung et al. 2011 DEEP2 survey: spec z’s and photoz’s. Redshift range z = 0.5-0.8. MassM/r eff M/r eff 2
14
None work perfectly. There is always overlap region. Cheung et al. 2011 DEEP2 survey: spec z’s and photoz’s. Redshift range z = 0.5-0.8. MassM/r eff M/r eff 2 Surface density Kauffmann+06
15
Try different combinations of mass and radius – None work perfectly Cheung et al. 2011 DEEP2 survey: spec z’s and photoz’s. Redshift range z = 0.5-0.8. MassM/r eff M/r eff 2 Effective velocity Franx+08
16
Cheung et al. 2011 Is there a second structural variable? Cheung et al. 2011 DEEP2 survey: spec z’s and photoz’s. Redshift range z = 0.5-0.8.
17
U-B Bulge M* is higher Bulge radius is smaller Bulge M*/r e is lower Cheung et al. 2011 AEGIS galaxies have bulge-disk decompositions using GIM2D. In the overlap region, the color change is accompanied by structural changes. Stellar mass becomes more concentrated.
18
Sersic index: looks like a threshold, except for outliers Cheung et al. 2011 outliers See also Bell+08, Bell+11
19
Inner mass surface density increases across color divide McGrath, Koo et al. 2011 Rejuvenation model no good; one way trip Structure is better predictor of quenching than halo or stellar mass

Part IV: Pre- and post-quenched galaxies in CANDELS at z ~ 2 Mark Mozena, Tao Wang, JS Huang, and CANDELS team Mark

Color-mass diagram: CANDELS/ERS in GOODS-S ✖ Spheroid ✖ Mixed or Irr ✖ Disk Z = 1.5-2.5 Mozena et al. 2011 Visual classes: Note color-mass relation already at z~2!

26
Conclusions: There exist structural parameters that are better predictors of quenching than either halo or stellar mass. An indispensible ingredient in the quenching process at all redshifts is either caused by (or leaves its imprint on) the stellar mass distribution – stars move to center. At low z, this process does not involve major mergers or a large change in radius. At high z, gross shrinkage in radius of x5 occurs. Is the process the same or different at high z?
