5 EIS Deep 3a Survey We have undertaken a fairly deep, wide-field imaging with the Subaru/Suprime-Cam of two fields of 900 arcmin 2 each for part of which near-IR data are available from ESO NTT observations. 7. EIS3a-F (Subaru/NTT, Ks=20.8) 320 arcmin 2 8. Daddi-F (Subaru/NTT, Ks=19.0) 600 arcmin 2 The prime aim of this survey is to understand how and when the present-day massive galaxies formed. To this end, the imaging observations have been optimized for the use of optical/near-infrared multi-colour selection criteria to identify both star forming and passive galaxies (BzK selection).

21 Number Counts of sBzKs, pBzKs, and EROs EROs galaxies sBzKs pBzKs

22 Number Counts of sBzKs, pBzKs, and EROs For EROs, the slope of the number counts is variable, being steeper at bright magnitudes and flattening out towards faint magnitude. The pBzKs number counts have a similar shape, but the break in the count slope is shifted to 1-1.5 magnitude fainter. Both EROs and pBzKs have fairly narrow redshift distribution: peaked at z ~ 1 (EROs) and at z ~ 1.7 (pBzKs). The number counts are direct probes of their respective luminosity functions. The shift in the counts is consistent with the different typical redshift of the two populations. The counts of sBzKs have roughly the same slope at all K-band magnitude, which reflects the much wider redshift distribution of this class of galaxies.

25 Angular Clustering Amplitude

26 EROs, sBzKs, and pBzKs distribute in a very inhomogeneous way in the sky. EROs and sBzKs appear to be strongly clustered, but pBzKs clustered most strongly in both fields. The clustering strengths of all the three populations increase with K-band luminosity.

27 Physical Properties of sBzKs and pBzKs Supposing ~ 2 for sBzKs, we have derived their physical properties, such as the reddening, star formation rate, and the stellar mass. (While errors by a factor of 2 or more may affect individual estimates, the average quantities should be relatively robust.)

31 Correlation between Colour Excess E(B- V), SFR and stellar mass for sBzKs There is evidence for an intrinsic correlation between SFR and reddening at z ~ 2 star-forming galaxies, with galaxies with higher star formation having more dust obscuration (>5σ level). The correlation between E(B-V) and stellar mass Is likely to be intrinsic, with more massive galaxies being also more absorbed (>7σ level). Given the previous two correlations, not surprisingly we also find a correlation between SFR and stellar masses (>4σ level). The upper edge in the SFR vs M * appear to be intrinsic, showing a limit on the maximum SFR that can be present in a galaxy of a given mass.

32 Brinchmann et al (2004) SFRs/mass @ z ~ 2 were ~ 10 times larger than today.

33 Downsizing Effects? At z=0 the vast majority of massive galaxies (M * >10 11 Mo) are passively evolving “ red ” galaxies, while at z ~ 2 actively star forming (sBzKs) and passive (pBzKs) galaxies exist in similar numbers, and most massive galaxies tend to be the most actively star forming galaxies. This can be seen as yet another manifestation of the downsizing effect, with massive galaxies completing their star formation at an earlier epoch compared to less massive galaxies, which instead have more prolonged star formation.

34 Contribution of sBzKs to SFRD 25% AGN Contamination SFRD=0.06 Mo/yr/Mpc 3 for sBzKs in Deep3a-F (K Vega <20) SFRD=0.013 Mo/yr/Mpc 3 for sBzKs in Daddi-F (K Vega <19.2) SFRD=0.044±0.08 Mo/yr/Mpc 3 for sBzKs in GOODS-S (K Vega <20; Daddi et al 2004) for the volume in the redshift range 1.4 2.5 cosmic variance? Substantial contribution to the total SFRD is likely come from K Vega >20 sBzKs.

36 Images of BzKs at z ~ 2 K>20 HST/ACS F435W, F850LP & K-band (VLT+ISAAC) A sample of 9 galaxies at 1.7<z<2.23 with bright K-band magnitudes 18.7<K<20 has recently been discovered (Daddi et al. 2003, astro-ph/0308456).

37 Summary and Conclusions (I) BzK selection is a quite powerful way to separate high-z galaxies such as sBzKs, pBzKs and EROs at 1.4<z<2.5. 1)Down to the K-band limit of the survey the log of the number counts of sBzKs increases linearly with the K-magnitude, while that of both EROs and pBzKs flattens out by K vega ~ 19. EROs are in a modest redshift shell (z ~ 1), while pBzKs are also in a relatively narrow redshift shell but at higher redshift (z ~ 1.7). sBzKs are drawn from a large range of redshifts, and their relative numbers increase sharply with redshift.

38 Summary and Conclusions (II) 2) The clustering properties of EROs and sBzKs are very similar, clustering amplitudes ~ 10 times higher than generic galaxies in the same magnitude range. This suggests an evolutionary link between sBzKs at z ~ 2 and EROs at z ~ 1, with star formation on sBzKs quenching by z ~ 1 thus producing passively evolving EROs. The clustering amplitude of pBzKs is even higher than that of sBzKs and EROs, suggesting that quenching epoch of star formation in massive galaxies depends on environmental density.

39 Summary and Conclusions (III) 3) sBzK galaxies (K Vega <20) have median reddening E(B-V) ~ 0.40, average SFR ~ 190 Mo/yr, typical stellar mass ~ 10 11 Mo, and ~ solar metallicity. The high SFRs, large masses and high metallicities of sBzKs suggest that these z ~ 2 star forming galaxies are the precursors of z=1 passive EROs and z=0 early-type galaxies.

40 Summary and Conclusions (IV) 4) The number density of massive pBzKs (K Vega 10 11 Mo) is about 1/2 of similarly massive early-type galaxies at z=0. The quenching of star formation in massive star-forming galaxies must result in a doubling since ~ 1.7 in the number of massive, passive galaxies. It is indeed quite reassuring that the number of M * >10 11 Mo sBzKs is very close to that of pBzKs. We argue that most of this star-formation quenching is likely to take place between z ~ 2 and z ~ 1.
