Abstract:
We carried out deep Hα narrowband imaging with 10h net
integrations towards the young protocluster, USS1558-003 at z=2.53
with the Subaru Telescope. This system is composed of four dense
groups with massive local overdensities, traced by 107 Hα
emitters (HAEs) with stellar masses and dust-corrected star formation
rates down to 1x108M☉ and 3M☉/yr, respectively. We have
investigated the environmental dependence of various physical
properties within the protocluster by comparing distributions of HAEs
in higher and lower densities with a standard Kolmogorov-Smirnov
test. At 97 per cent confidence level, we find enhanced star
formation across the star-forming main sequence of HAEs living in the
most extreme 'supergroup', corresponding to the top quartile of
overdensities. Furthermore, we derive distribution functions of
Hα luminosity and stellar mass in group and intergroup regions,
approximately corresponding to 30 and 8 times higher densities than
the general field. As a consequence, we identify 0.7 and 0.9dex higher
cut-offs in Hα luminosity and stellar mass functions in the
dense groups, respectively. On the other hand, HAEs in the intergroup
environment of the protocluster show similar distribution functions to
those of field galaxies despite residing in significant overdensities.
In the early phase of cluster formation, as inferred from our results,
the densest parts in the protocluster have had an accelerated
formation of massive galaxies. We expect that these eventually grow
and transform into early-type galaxies at the bright end of the red
sequence as seen in present-day rich clusters of galaxies.
Description:
This work combines the multi-broad-band and deep narrowband images
(Fig. 1) taken from the early data of the MAHALO-Subaru campaign
(S10B-028I, Kodama et al.; Hayashi et al. 2012ApJ...757...15H 2012ApJ...757...15H; Kodama
et al. 2013, Proc. IAU Symp., 295, 74), the new data by MDCS
(S15A-047, Kodama et al.; Hayashi et al., 2016ApJ...826L..28H 2016ApJ...826L..28H), and
deep F160W/WFC3 photometry taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
