Interpreting stellar populations in a cosmological context rachel somerville MPIA with thanks to the GOODS & GEMS teams, S. Faber, B. Allgood, J. Primack, A. Dekel, & R. Wechsler Stellar populations can be used to ‘weigh’ galaxies Bell et al. 2003 Papovich et al. 2002 massive galaxies (both old/evolved and dusty/star forming) are being discovered in significant numbers at redshifts as high as z=2… Fontana et al. 2004 (K20) Glazebrook et al. 2004 (GDDS); Brinchmann & Ellis 2000; Cohen et al. 2000; Rudnick et al. 2004 (FIRES); Drory et al. 2004 (MUNICS); van Dickinson et al. 2003 (HDFN) Dokkum, et al. 2004 Do massive galaxies at high redshift pose a crisis for CDM? local galaxies m*>2.5E10 Msun m*>1.0E11 Msun LBGs K20 EROs sub-mm these kinds of observations could refute CDM, but so far they do not pose a problem. n.b. all theorists agree on this SDSS QSOs the overcooling problem halo mass function cooling+SF …+squelching …+SN FB …+ merging suppressed in clusters need to suppress cooling and/or star formation in massive halos to fit z=0 stellar mass function and luminosity functions Stellar mass assembly history: comparison with LCDM models Glazebrook et al. 2004 Fontana et al. 2004 stellar mass assembly history good agreement with observational estimates Glazebrook et al.

(GOODS) Tecza et al. 2003 (SMG’s) IMF=Kroupa why do galaxies come in two basic types? spheroidal, dynamically hot red colors strong absorption lines predominantly old stars little recent star formation thin disk dynamically cold supported by rotation blue colors strong emission lines broad range of stellar ages, ongoing star formation galaxy colors (and many other properties) are strongly bimodal color red blue bright faint luminosity SDSS Baldry et al. 2003 color red blue bright faint luminosity SDSS Baldry et al. 2003 The two types are divided by a critical mass ~3x1010 Msun old, no recent star formation, high concentration/surface brightness old young young, recent star formation, low concentration/surface brightness Kauffmann et al. 2003 what is the role of environment? increasing density--> decreasing luminosity--> (u-r) the color of the red sequence is almost independent of environment… but the fraction of galaxies in the red sequence vs. the blue cloud is a strong function of local density u-r Balogh et al. 2004 the red sequence & color bimodality seen at z=1! also seen in the DEEP2 redshift survey (Willmer et al. in prep) Bell et al. 2003 rest V magnitude (luminosity) in hierarchical models, merger history determines galaxy morphology cluster of galaxies ‘Milky Way’ galaxy Color-magnitude distribution SDSS SAM predicted color distributions are not bimodal -22.5 -19.5 -21.5 -20.5 -18.5 black: SDSS purple: SAM model prediction: color-magnitude relation at high redshift colored points meet R<24 COMBO-17 selection criterion rest V magnitude (luminosity) Bell et al. 2003 rest V magnitude (luminosity) models produce enough bright/massive/bulge dominated galaxies -- but they are too blue red: E/S0 blue: S/Irr cyan: merger GEMS red: B/T>0.5 blue: B/T<0.5 cyan: tmrg < 0.5 Gyr not enough EROs 13.5 5.8 3.2 1.0 0.5 0.1 GOODS KAB<22 rss et al. 2004 GOODS ApJL Results from state-of-the-art numerical hydrodynamic simulations are very similar Bell et al 2003 Dave et al., see also Nagamine et al. Why are red galaxies red? o CDM models produce enough old, massive galaxies. the problem is a continuous ‘trickle’ of star formation o there must be some process that shuts off star formation after galaxies have become massive o this process must be rapid, and seems to be connected with the presence of a spheroid o must work in all environments, but happen to a larger fraction of galaxies in dense places toy models 1. 2. 3. 4. remove all remaining gas after major mergers shut off cooling/SF when Mh>Mcrit shut off star formation when M*>Mcrit shut off star formation when M*,bulge>Mcrit toy models 1. 2. o – – – remove all remaining gas after major mergers has almost no effect (fresh gas gets accreted) shut off cooling/SF when Mh>Mcrit kills massive galaxies entirely; does not produce bimodality shut off star formation when M*>Mcrit kills massive galaxies entirely; does not produce bimodality shut off star formation when M*,bulge>Mcrit Color-magnitude distribution SDSS SAM: SF shut off when Mh>Mcrit Color-magnitude distribution SDSS SAM: SF shut off when Mbulge>Mcrit Metallicity normalization increased by a factor of 2 SDSS SAM: SF shut off when Mbulge>Mcrit SF quenched when Mbulge>Mcrit (purple=SAM black=SDSS) Mr<-22.75 -21.75 -20.75 -19.75 -18.75 when do galaxies become ‘quenched’? SF quenched when Mbulge>Mcrit Mbulge quenched model dry mergers?

AGN ‘momentum wind’ model -22.75 red sequence improved, and bimodality appears in the right place, but too many intermediate luminosity blues… still have a ‘cooling flow’ problem -18.75 AGN-feedback model too much scatter in red sequence at high redshift…formation time too late or too spread out AGN feedback model too much scatter in red sequence at high redshift…formation time too late or too spread out ‘Effervescent’ heating by giant radio jets o recent work suggests even columnated jets can heat a large filling factor of ICM o resulting bubbles look similar to those seen in Chandra images of some clusters o Effective in cluster or perhaps group environments Bruggen, Ruszkowski & Hallen 2005 Stellar Populations as fossil relics of star formation 10 realizations of a ‘Coma’ cluster ‘real’ vs. ‘grid-derived’ age and metallicity actual light-weighted age actual metallicity SAM Coma Trager et al. Coma data Dry mergers: simulations Bell, Naab, McIntosh, rss et al. Dry mergers: GEMS Dry mergers visible for ~250 Myr every luminous E has had ~0.5-1 dry merger since z~1 in good agreement with expectations from hierarchical models Summary o CDM-based models of galaxy formation that produce reasonable agreement with the z=0 stellar mass function form enough massive galaxies at high z<2 o But default models do not produce enough massive red galaxies, especially at high redshift, because of continuous low level star formation. need a new process that quenches star formation in massive, bulge-dominated galaxies o momentum-driven winds powered by AGN a promising mechanism…another process needed to solve ‘cooling flow’ problem -- but must make enough massive galaxies at high redshift!
