The optical FP at z~1 in the CDFS- IRAC GTO observations- Rest-frame near-IR L-evolution- Optical and near-IR colors and M/L: observations and models
Redshift/magnitude/color/morphology selection GOODS ACS imaging (Giavalisco et al. 2004); COMBO-17 photo-z’s (Wolf et al. 2003); Coleman et al. 1980 template spectra
All: Δ ln (M/LB) / z = ( -1.66 +/- 0.08 ) M > 2 ∙1011 Msun: Δ ln (M/LB) / z = ( -1.15 +/- 0.12 )
Massive early-types evolve slowly, independent of environment- Early-type galaxies show mass-dependent luminosity evolution.- We do not have an un-biased view on evolution of L* early-types because of selection effects.
GTO IRAC data • 500s exposures • PSF matching • ACS, ISAAC (from ESO), IRAC data • rest-frame B-through-K band colors • comparison with local FP sampe • (Pahre et al. 1998) • rest-frame K-band luminosity evolution
Evolution of M/LK Δ ln ( M/LK ) / z = -1.18 +/- 0.10 Δ ln ( M/LB ) / z = -1.46 +/- 0.09
Conclusions • - K-band L-evolution: 1.3 mag at z=1 • - K-band luminosity is not a mass indicator • Bruzual & Charlot (2003) model: • Problems in the near-IR • Maraston (2005) model: • Problems in the optical
