寻找潮汐尾-调查星系骚扰

Searching for tidal tails - investigating galaxy harassment

J. I. Davies, S. Roberts, S. Sabatini

摘要:

星系骚扰被认为是一个物理过程,它使低面密度盘状星系在形态上转变为星系团中的矮椭圆星系。它已被用来连接观察到的非常不同的形态的遥远的星系团星系(相对更多的蓝色星系与“干扰”的形态)与相对大量的矮椭圆星系发现在附近的星系团。骚扰模型的一个预测是,残余星系应该位于低表面亮度的潮汐流或弧上。在这篇论文中,我们证明了我们有一种分析方法,该方法对低至29 B mag/arcsec ^[2]的表面亮度的弧的探测非常敏感,然后用这种方法搜索了46个室女星系团周围的弧。我们没有发现潮汐流或弧的证据,因此没有证据表明星系骚扰作为一个可行的解释相对大量的矮星系发现在室女星系团。

英文摘要:

Galaxy harassment has been proposed as a physical process that morphologically transforms low surface density disc galaxies into dwarf elliptical galaxies in clusters. It has been used to link the observed very different morphology of distant cluster galaxies (relatively more blue galaxies with 'disturbed' morphologies) with the relatively large numbers of dwarf elliptical galaxies found in nearby clusters. One prediction of the harassment model is that the remnant galaxies should lie on low surface brightness tidal streams or arcs. We demonstrate in this paper that we have an analysis method that is sensitive to the detection of arcs down to a surface brightness of 29 B mag/arcsec^2 and then use this method to search for arcs around 46 Virgo cluster dwarf elliptical galaxies. We find no evidence for tidal streams or arcs and consequently no evidence for galaxy harassment as a viable explanation for the relatively large numbers of dwarf galaxies found in the Virgo cluster.
