abstract

We present clustering properties from 579,492 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z~4-6 over the 100 deg^2 sky (corresponding to a 1.4 Gpc^3 volume) identified in early data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru strategic program survey. We derive angular correlation functions (ACFs) of the HSC LBGs with unprecedentedly high statistical accuracies at z~4-6, and compare them with the halo occupation distribution (HOD) models. We clearly identify significant ACF excesses in 10"<$\theta$<90", the transition scale between 1- and 2-halo terms, suggestive of the existence of the non-linear halo bias effect. Combining the HOD models and previous clustering measurements of faint LBGs at z~4-7, we investigate dark-matter halo mass (Mh) of the z~4-7 LBGs and its correlation with various physical properties including the star-formation rate (SFR), the stellar-to-halo mass ratio (SHMR), and the dark matter accretion rate (dotMh) over a wide-mass range of Mh/M$_\odot$=4x10^10-4x10^12. We find that the SHMR increases from z~4 to 7 by a factor of ~4 at Mh~1x10^11 M$_\odot$, while the SHMR shows no strong evolution in the similar redshift range at Mh~1x10^12 M$_\odot$. Interestingly, we identify a tight relation of SFR/dotMh-Mh showing no significant evolution beyond 0.15 dex in this wide-mass range over z~4-7. This weak evolution suggests that the SFR/dotMh-Mh relation is a fundamental relation in high-redshift galaxy formation whose star formation activities are regulated by the dark matter mass assembly. Assuming this fundamental relation, we calculate the cosmic SFR densities (SFRDs) over z=0-10 (a.k.a. Madau-Lilly plot). The cosmic SFRD evolution based on the fundamental relation agrees with the one obtained by observations, suggesting that the cosmic SFRD increase from z~10 to 4-2 (decrease from z~4-2 to 0) is mainly driven by the increase of the halo abundance (the decrease of the accretion rate).

  1. COSMOS-Web: does halo mass alone shape the clustering of star-forming and quiescent galaxies?

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Quiescent galaxies cluster more strongly than star-forming ones by 0.5-1 dex after halo-mass matching, with one-halo conformity up to z~2 that disappears at higher redshifts.

  2. On the later evolution of observationally selected protocluster candidates at $z\,{\gtrsim}\,5$

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Simulations show observationally selected protocluster candidates at z ≳ 5 include significant interlopers, undergo 2-6 major mergers, and exhibit stronger clustering than observed, requiring total galaxy mass within ...

  3. Grain-size evolution and rapid dust growth in high-redshift galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 conditional novelty 5.0

    A multiphase ISM grain-size model with low supernova dust yield reproduces observed dust-to-stellar mass ratios and UV luminosity functions at z=7-12 by letting small grains seed rapid metal accretion.
