ESO-Sculptor巡天中的空间成团:红移0.1 - 0.5时星系类型的两点关联函数

Spatial clustering in the ESO-Sculptor Survey: two-point correlation functions by galaxy type at redshifts 0.1 - 0.5

Valerie De Lapparent, Eric Slezak

摘要:

计算了ESO-Sculptor巡天中Rc<21.5和0.1<z<0.51的765个星系的空间两点自相关函数和交叉关联函数,探讨了巨星系(早型、晚螺旋星系)和矮星系(dE、dI星系)群体之间的分离效应。当星系间距为0.3 h^-1 Mpc时,早型星系对在星系团中占主导地位。在中等尺度(0.3 ~ 5 h^-1 Mpc)下,矮星系和巨星系的混合星系对与巨星系对的贡献相等,而后者在~10 h^-1 Mpc时占主导地位。我们检测到的签名之间的过渡的1-halo和2-halo制度,这是预期的星系形成的情况下,通过分层合并的暗物质晕。早型星系的1-晕分量大大超过晚型旋涡星系,而两个巨星系群的2-晕分量相当。矮星系的1-晕分量介于两种巨星系类型之间,2-晕分量较弱,与零星系团一致。目前的分析表明,早期型星系优先位于最大质量晕的中心附近,而晚期螺旋星系往往占据其外围或质量较小的晕的中心。这项分析还揭示了矮星系空间分布的新结果:在它们显著聚集在晕内的尺度上(<0. 3 h^-1 Mpc),它们与晚期旋涡星系的混合很差,并且优先出现为早型星系的卫星星系。

英文摘要:

We calculate the spatial two-point auto and cross-correlation functions for the 765 galaxies with Rc<21.5 and 0.1<z<0.51 in the ESO-Sculptor survey, and explore the segregation effects among the populations of giant (early-type, late spiral) and dwarf (dE, dI) galaxies. At separation of 0.3 h^-1 Mpc, pairs of early-type galaxies dominate the clustering over all the other types of pairs. At intermediate scales, 0.3-5 h^-1 Mpc, mixed pairs of dwarf and giant galaxies contribute equally as pairs of giant galaxies, whereas the latter dominate at ~10 h^-1 Mpc. We detect the signature of the transition between the 1-halo and 2-halo regimes which is expected in the scenario of galaxy formation by hierarchical merging of dark matter halos. The early-type galaxies largely outdo the late spiral galaxies in their 1-halo component, whereas the 2-halo components of both giant populations are comparable. The dwarf galaxies have an intermediate 1-halo component between the 2 giant galaxy types, and their 2-halo component is weak and consistent with null clustering. The present analysis indicates that the early-type galaxies are preferentially located near the centers of the most massive halos, whereas late spiral galaxies tend to occupy their outskirts or the centers of less massive halos. This analysis also unveils new results on the spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies: at the scale at which they significantly cluster inside the halos (<0.3 h^-1 Mpc), they are poorly mixed with the late spiral galaxies, and appear preferentially as satellites of early-type galaxies.
