星系团的Ram压力历史

Ram pressure histories of cluster galaxies

M. Brueggen, G. De Lucia

摘要:

冲压压力剥离可以从星系团和大质量星系团中去除大量的气体,从而对星系团的演化产生重大影响。在本文中,我们重建了现今的冲压压力分布,以及星系团的冲压压力历史。为此,我们结合千年模拟和相关的半解析模型的星系演化与分析模型的气体分布在集群。我们发现,在大质量星系团中,大约有四分之一的星系受到强大的冲压压力,这很可能导致所有气体的权宜损失。强烈的冲压压力主要发生在星系团的内核,那里的气体密度和星系速度都较高。自从它们被吸积到一个大质量系统中以来,今天居住在星系团中的星系中有64%以上经历了$>10^{-11}$达因厘米$^{-2}$的强大冲压压力,这很可能导致气体的大量损失。

英文摘要:

Ram pressure stripping can remove significant amounts of gas from galaxies that orbit in clusters and massive groups, and thus has a large impact on the evolution of cluster galaxies. In this paper, we reconstruct the present-day distribution of ram-pressure, and the ram pressure histories of cluster galaxies. To this aim, we combine the Millennium Simulation and an associated semi-analytic model of galaxy evolution with analytic models for the gas distribution in clusters. We find that about one quarter of galaxies in massive clusters are subject to strong ram-pressures that are likely to cause an expedient loss of all gas. Strong ram-pressures occur predominantly in the inner core of the cluster, where both the gas density and the galaxy velocity are higher. Since their accretion onto a massive system, more than 64 per cent of galaxies that reside in a cluster today have experienced strong ram-pressures of $>10^{-11}$ dyn cm$^{-2}$ which most likely led to a substantial loss of the gas.
