卫星星系团空间分布的颜色依赖性

Color Dependence in the Spatial Distribution of Satellite Galaxies

Jacqueline Chen

摘要:

我们探讨了孤立的母星系周围的卫星星系的径向轮廓的颜色依赖性。从大星系红移巡天中选出的潜在卫星样本被闯入者严重污染--这些物体不受母星系的约束。我们使用斯隆数字巡天估计候选卫星星系样本中的闯入者分数。我们发现,红色和蓝色卫星的样本有不同的闯入者人口:一个更大的比例的蓝色星系可能是闯入者相比,红色星系。无论是否减去干扰物,蓝色卫星的径向轮廓都明显比红色卫星的径向轮廓浅。此外,虽然红色和蓝色原色具有不同的插入物分数,但在插入物校正后,校正的径向轮廓的斜率是一致的。我们讨论了这些结果对星系形成模型的影响。

英文摘要:

We explore the color dependence of the radial profile of satellite galaxies around isolated parent galaxies. Samples of potential satellites selected from large galaxy redshift surveys are significantly contaminated by interlopers -- objects not bound to the parent galaxy. We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to estimate the interloper fraction in samples of candidate satellite galaxies. We show that samples of red and blue satellites have different interloper populations: a larger fraction of blue galaxies are likely to be interlopers compared to red galaxies. Both with and without interloper subtraction, the radial profile of blue satellites is significantly shallower than that of red satellites. In addition, while red and blue primaries have different interloper fractions, the slope of the corrected radial profiles are consistent after interloper correction. We discuss the implications of these results for galaxy formation models.
