Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS): the sSFR–M*plane. Part I: the recent SFH of galaxies and movement through the plane
In a recent paper, we parametrized the evolution of the star formation rate dispersion () across the specific star formation rate-stellar mass plane (sSFR-M) using the Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS) - suggesting that the point at which the minimum in the dispersion occurs (M) defi...

J.Driver, Simon P.Galaxies: evolutionGalaxies: generalGalaxies: star formationMethods: observationalIn a recent paper, we parametrized the evolution of the star formation rate dispersion () across the specific star formation rate-stellar mass plane (sSFR-M) using the Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS) - suggesting that the point at which the minimum in the dispersion occurs (M) defines a boundary between different physical mechanisms affecting galaxy evolution. Here, we expand upon that work to determine the movement of galaxies through the sSFR-M plane using their recent star formation histories (SFHs) and explore how this leads to the observed -M relation. We find that galaxies in subregions of the sSFR-M plane show distinctly different SFHs, leading to a complex evolution of the sSFR-M plane and star-forming sequence (SFS). However, we find that selecting galaxies based on stellar mass and position relative to SFS alone (as is traditionally the case), may not identify sources with common recent SFHs, and therefore propose a new selection methodology. We then use the recent SFH of galaxies to measure the evolution of the SFS, showing that it has varying contributions from galaxies with different SFHs that lead to the observed changes in slope, normalization, and turnover stellar mass. Finally, we determine the overall evolution of the sSFR-M plane from to today. In the second paper in this series, we will discuss physical properties of galaxies with common recent SFHs and how these lead to the observed -M relation and evolution of the sSFR-M plane.LJMD, ASGR, and SB acknowledge support from the Australian Research Councils Future Fellowship scheme (FT200100055 and FT200100375).

In a recent paper, we parametrized the evolution of the star formation rate dispersion () across the specific star formation rate-stellar mass plane (sSFR-M) using the Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS) - suggesting that the point at which the minimum in the dispersion occurs (M) defines a boundary between different physical mechanisms affecting galaxy evolution. Here, we expand upon that work to determine the movement of galaxies through the sSFR-M plane using their recent star formation histories (SFHs) and explore how this leads to the observed -M relation. We find that galaxies in subregions of the sSFR-M plane show distinctly different SFHs, leading to a complex evolution of the sSFR-M plane and star-forming sequence (SFS). However, we find that selecting galaxies based on stellar mass and position relative to SFS alone (as is traditionally the case), may not identify sources with common recent SFHs, and therefore propose a new selection methodology. We then use the recent SFH of galaxies to measure the evolution of the SFS, showing that it has varying contributions from galaxies with different SFHs that lead to the observed changes in slope, normalization, and turnover stellar mass. Finally, we determine the overall evolution of the sSFR-M plane from to today. In the second paper in this series, we will discuss physical properties of galaxies with common recent SFHs and how these lead to the observed -M relation and evolution of the sSFR-M plane. |
