| Abstract: |
After carefully cross-identifying the LBG candidates selected by
FUV–NUV >2 from GALAX one-to-one with their optical counterparts
and considering their re-estimated photometric redshifts, we
redefine a new updated sample of 379 LBGs at 0.7 ∼< z ∼< 1.4. It
is found that most of the LBGs are classified as starburst types
with about 1/4 of them as irregular types and very few as Sbc and
Scd types. They locate in the star forming sequence in the plane of
star formation rate and stellar mass, rather than the main sequence
as expected. The star formation rates (SFRs) and the stellar masses
(M*) of the LBGs are from 4my to 220my and from 2.2×
108 msun to 7.7×1011 msun with their median values
of ∼ 25my and ∼ 1010 msun, respectively. A
“downsizing” effect is clearly found for the LBGs and it is more
significant from later to earlier spectral type LBGs. The LBGs
distribute in the “blue” cloud in the color-stellar mass diagram,
and they are on average redder for earlier types. We suggest that
star forming galaxies, at least the LBGs in our sample, evolve along
the blue “cloud” from later to earlier types. |
