    GALAXY CRUISE: Spiral and ring classifications for 700K bright galaxies at z=0.01-0.3

    Full text link
    This paper presents a morphology classification catalog of spiral and ring features of 687,859 magnitude-limited galaxies at zz=0.01-0.3 (r<20 mag) based on the Third Public Data Release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program. We employ two deep learning classifiers to determine the spiral and ring structures separately based on GALAXY CRUISE Data Release 1, which is dedicated to Hyper Suprime-Cam data. The number of spiral and ring galaxies contain 385,449 and 33,993 sources, respectively, which constitute 56%56\% and 5%5\% of the sample. A notable result of this study is the construction of a large sample of ring galaxies utilizing high-quality imaging data delivered by the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam. However, the accurate identification of ring galaxies remains difficult at a limited seeing resolution. Additionally, we confirm that most spiral galaxies are located on the star-forming main sequence, whereas ring galaxies preferentially reside in the green valley at stellar mass of 1E10.5-11 solar mass. Furthermore, decreasing fractions of spiral and ring galaxies are observed toward the centers of the galaxy clusters. The obtained morphology catalog is publicly available on the GALAXY CRUISE website.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, 3 table

    Enhanced Star Formation of Less Massive Galaxies in a Proto-Cluster at z=2.5

    We investigate a correlation between star-formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass for Halpha emission line galaxies (HAEs) in one of the richest proto-clusters ever known at z~2.5, USS 1558-003 proto-cluster. This study is based on a 9.7-hour narrow-band imaging data with MOIRCS on the Subaru telescope. We are able to construct a sample, in combination with additional H-band data taken with WFC3 on Hubble Space Telescope (HST), of 100 HAEs reaching the dust-corrected SFRs down to 3 Msun/yr and the stellar masses down to 108.010^{8.0} Msun. We find that while the star-forming galaxies with >109.310^{9.3} Msun are located on the universal SFR-mass main sequence irrespective of the environment, less massive star-forming galaxies with <109.310^{9.3} Msun show a significant upward scatter from the main sequence in this proto-cluster. This suggests that some less massive galaxies are in a starburst phase, although we do not know yet if this is due to environmental effects.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in the ApJ Letter

    Line-of-sight structure of troughs identified in Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Year 3 weak lensing mass maps

    Full text link
    We perform the weak lensing mass mapping analysis to identify troughs, which are defined as local minima in the mass map. Since weak lensing probes projected matter along the line-of-sight, these troughs can be produced by single voids or multiple voids projected along the line-of-sight. To scrutinise the origins of the weak lensing troughs, we systematically investigate the line-of-sight structure of troughs selected from the latest Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Year 3 weak lensing data covering 433.48 deg2433.48 \, \mathrm{deg}^2. From a curved sky mass map constructed with the HSC data, we identify 15 troughs with the signal-to-noise ratio higher than 5.75.7 and address their line-of-sight density structure utilizing redshift distributions of two galaxy samples, photometric luminous red galaxies observed by HSC and spectroscopic galaxies detected by Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. While most of weak lensing signals due to the troughs are explained by multiple voids aligned along the line-of-sight, we find that two of the 15 troughs potentially originate from single voids at redshift ∼0.3\sim 0.3. The single void interpretation appears to be consistent with our three-dimensional mass mapping analysis. We argue that single voids can indeed reproduce observed weak lensing signals at the troughs if these voids are not spherical but are highly elongated along the line-of-sight direction.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, submitted to MNRA
