Hyper Suprime-Cam view of the CMASS galaxy sample. Halo mass as a function of stellar mass, size, and Sérsic index
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aims.We wish to determine the distribution of dark matter halo masses as a function of the stellar mass and the stellar mass profile, for massive galaxies in the BOSS CMASS sample.Methods.We use grizy photometry from HSC to obtain Sérsic fits and stellar masses of CMASS galaxies for which HSC weak lensing data is available, visually selected to have spheroidal morphology.We apply a cut in stellar mass, log M * /M > 11.0, selecting ∼ 10, 000 objects.Using a Bayesian hierarchical inference method, we first investigate the distribution of Sérsic index and size as a function of stellar mass.Then, making use of shear measurements from HSC, we measure the distribution of halo mass as a function of stellar mass, size and Sérsic index.Results.Our data reveals a steep stellar mass-size relation R e ∝ M β R * , with β R larger than unity, and a positive correlation between Sérsic index and stellar mass: n ∝ M 0.46 * .Halo mass scales approximately with the 1.7 power of the stellar mass.We do not find evidence for an additional dependence of halo mass on size or Sérsic index at fixed stellar mass.Conclusions.Our results disfavour galaxy evolution models that predict significant differences in the size growth efficiency of galaxies living in low and high mass halos.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
