The gMOSS: the galaxy survey and galaxy populations of the large homogeneous field
Abstract
ABSTRACT We present the gMOSS (Galaxies of Medium-band One-meter Schmidt telescope Survey) catalogue of ∼19 000 galaxies in 20 filters (4 broad-band SDSS and 16 medium-band filters). We observed 2.386 deg2 on the central part of the HS47.5-22 field with the 1-m Schmidt telescope of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory. The gMOSS is a complete flux-limited sample of galaxies with a threshold magnitude of r SDSS ≤ 22.5 AB. From photometric measurements with 16 medium-band filters and u SDSS, we get spectral energy distributions for each object in the field, which are used for further analysis. Galaxy classification and photometric redshift estimation based on spectral template matching with zebra software. The obtained redshift accuracy is σNMAD < 0.0043. Using the SED-fitting cigale code, we obtained the main properties of the stellar population of galaxies, such as rest-frame (u − r)res colour, stellar mass, extinction, and mass-weighted age with a precision of 0.16 ± 0.07 mag, 0.14 ± 0.04 dex, 0.27 ± 0.1 mag, and 0.08 ± 0.04 dex, respectively. Using a dust-corrected colour–mass diagram, we divided the full sample into populations of red and blue galaxies and considered the dependencies between stellar mass and age. Throughout cosmic time, red sequence galaxies remain older and more massive than blue cloud galaxies. The star formation history of a complete subsample of galaxies selected in the redshift range 0.05 ≤ z ≤ 0.015 with <$$\mathrm{log} M \mathrm{\gt }_\mathrm{[M_\odot ]}$$>8.3 shows an increase in the SFRD up to z ∼ 3, under the results obtained in earlier studies.
