天炉座中NGC 1399周围的星团内球状星团?

Intra Cluster Globular Clusters around NGC 1399 in Fornax?

Y. Schuberth, T. Richtler, L. Bassino, M. Hilker

摘要:

我们调查是否球状星团(GC)在最近公布的样本的GC在天炉座星系团Bergond和同事确实是内集群对象。本文将Bergond等人的径向速度测量目录与我们在华盛顿星系中的CTIO MOSAIC测光结合起来,分析了贫金属和富金属GC与它们的宿主星系的关系。富含金属的GC似乎与它们各自的宿主星系运动学相关。在天炉座星系团的星系之间发现的绝大多数贫金属GC的速度与它们是非常扩展的NGC 1399 GC系统的成员一致。我们发现,当样品被限制到最准确的速度测量,GC速度色散分布可以描述与质量模型推导出的NGC 1399 GC系统在80 kpc。我们确定了一个“流浪者”GC的径向速度表明,它是不绑定到任何星系,除非它的轨道有一个非常大的远星系距离。

英文摘要:

We investigate whether the globular clusters (GCs) in the recently published sample of GCs in the Fornax cluster by Bergond and coworkers are indeed intra-cluster objects. We combine the catalogue of radial velocity measurements by Bergond et al. with our CTIO MOSAIC photometry in the Washington system and analyse the relation of metal-poor and metal-rich GCs with their host galaxies. The metal-rich GCs appear to be kinematically associated with their respective host galaxies. The vast majority of the metal-poor GCs found in between the galaxies of the Fornax cluster have velocities which are consistent with them being members of the very extended NGC 1399 GC system. We find that when the sample is restricted to the most accurate velocity measurements, the GC velocity dispersion profile can be described with a mass model derived for the NGC 1399 GC system within 80 kpc. We identify one ``vagrant'' GC whose radial velocity suggests that it is not bound to any galaxy unless its orbit has a very large apogalactic distance.
