论文摘要

预计恒星初始质量功能(IMF)取决于星形分子云中气体的温度。引入附加参数,$ t_ {imf} $,在光度模板拟合中,这表明大多数星系都比银河系IMF遵守IMF的最高额度。讨论了这些修订后的拟合对质量功能,静止和转弯的含义。在各个红移中,最高的质量星系首先变得静止,而转弯质量朝向当前。跨星系的同步结节质量表明静止是由通用机制而不是由随机或环境过程驱动的。

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is predicted to depend upon the temperature of gas in star-forming molecular clouds. The introduction of an additional parameter, $T_{IMF}$ , into photometric template fitting, suggest most galaxies obey an IMF top-heavier than the Galactic IMF. The implications of these revised fits on mass functions, quiescence and turnoff are discussed. At all redshifts the highest mass galaxies become quiescent first with the turnoff mass decreasing towards the present. The synchronous turnoff mass across galaxies suggests quiescence is driven by universal mechanisms rather than by stochastic or environmental processes.
