星系团II中的漫射光:与星系团性质的关系

Diffuse Optical Light in Galaxy Clusters II: Correlations with Cluster Properties

J. E. Krick, R. A. Bernstein

摘要:

我们测量了10个星系团的样本中弥散团内光(ICL)的通量、轮廓、颜色和亚结构,这些星系团具有不同的质量、形态、红移和密度。在拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台的1米斯沃普和2.5米杜邦望远镜上,在两个波段上对这个项目进行了深宽场观测。在还原和分析中,对照明校正、背景扣除、点扩散函数确定和星系扣除给予了仔细的注意。在所有10个星团的两个波段都探测到了ICL通量,r波段的太阳光度范围为7.6 x 10^{10}至7.0 x 10^{11} h^{-1},B波段的太阳光度范围为1.4 x 10^{10}至1.2 x 10^{11} h^{-1}。这些通量在r维里半径的四分之一范围内占总星系团光的6%至22%,在B波段占4%至21%。平均ICL B-r的颜色范围从1.5到2.8 mags时,k和演化校正到现在的时代。在几个集群中,我们也检测到ICL在集群中心附近的群体环境中,距离集群中心高达~1 h^{-1} Mpc。我们的样本是从Abell样本中选出的,它是不完整的,因为它不包括具有低密度、低通量或低质量的高红移星系团,也不包括具有高通量、高质量或高密度的低红移星系团。这种偏见使得很难解释ICL通量和集群属性之间的相关性。尽管这种选择的偏见,我们发现,一个cD星系的存在对应于集中星系配置文件和集中ICL配置文件。这与ICL的形成是一致的,无论是从星系的相互作用在中心,或形成在早期的群体,后来结合在中心。

英文摘要:

We have measured the flux, profile, color, and substructure in the diffuse intracluster light (ICL) in a sample of ten galaxy clusters with a range of mass, morphology, redshift, and density. Deep, wide-field observations for this project were made in two bands at the one meter Swope and 2.5 meter du Pont telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Careful attention in reduction and analysis was paid to the illumination correction, background subtraction, point spread function determination, and galaxy subtraction. ICL flux is detected in both bands in all ten clusters ranging from 7.6 x 10^{10} to 7.0 x 10^{11} h^{-1} solar luminosities in r and 1.4 x 10^{10} to 1.2 x 10^{11} h^{-1} solar luminosities in the B-band. These fluxes account for 6 to 22% of the total cluster light within one quarter of the virial radius in r and 4 to 21% in the B-band. Average ICL B-r colors range from 1.5 to 2.8 mags when k and evolution corrected to the present epoch. In several clusters we also detect ICL in group environments near the cluster center and up to ~1 h^{-1} Mpc distant from the cluster center. Our sample, having been selected from the Abell sample, is incomplete in that it does not include high redshift clusters with low density, low flux, or low mass, and it does not include low redshift clusters with high flux, mass, or density. This bias makes it difficult to interpret correlations between ICL flux and cluster properties. Despite this selection bias, we do find that the presence of a cD galaxy corresponds to both centrally concentrated galaxy profiles and centrally concentrated ICL profiles. This is consistent with ICL either forming from galaxy interactions at the center, or forming at earlier times in groups and later combining in the center.
