摘要:

使用基于斯隆数字巡天数据发布4的大型星系群目录,我们测量了三种不同类型的星系群内的内在星系排列:最亮星系团(BGG)的方向与其卫星星系的分布之间的晕对准,卫星星系的方向与朝向其BGG的方向之间的径向对准,以及BGG的取向与其卫星的取向之间的直接对准。与以前的研究一致,我们发现卫星星系优先位于沿主轴。此外,在尺度r < 0.7 Rvir时,我们发现红色卫星优先与BGG方向径向对齐。然而,蓝色卫星的方向与各向同性完全一致。最后,在尺度r < 0.1 \Rvir,我们发现一个弱的,但重要的指示卫星和BGG之间的直接对准。我们简要地讨论了弱透镜测量的影响。

英文摘要:

Using a large galaxy group catalogue based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 we measure three different types of intrinsic galaxy alignment within groups: halo alignment between the orientation of the brightest group galaxies (BGG) and the distribution of its satellite galaxies, radial alignment between the orientation of a satellite galaxy and the direction towards its BGG, and direct alignment between the orientation of the BGG and that of its satellites. In agreement with previous studies we find that satellite galaxies are preferentially located along the major axis. In addition, on scales r < 0.7 Rvir we find that red satellites are preferentially aligned radially with the direction to the BGG. The orientations of blue satellites, however, are perfectly consistent with being isotropic. Finally, on scales r < 0.1 \Rvir, we find a weak but significant indication for direct alignment between satellites and BGGs. We briefly discuss the implications for weak lensing measurements.
