摘要:

本文给出了由华盛顿测光系统CCD宽视场测光获得的Antlia星系团中心区域早型星系的第一个色-星等关系(CMR)。本文测量了FS 90星表(Ferguson & Sandage 1990)中93个星系(华盛顿星系中迄今为止最大的星系样本)的积分(C-T1)色、T1星等和有效半径。通过新的径向速度和从文献中收集的数据,可以确认37个物体的成员资格。色星等图表明,光谱确认的Antlia成员或FS 90确定成员的早型FS 90星系,其CMR(sigma_(C-T1)~ 0.07等)亮度跨度为9等,斜率无明显变化。这种关系是非常紧密的整个星等范围内,但S 0星系表现出较大的分散,显然是由于分离的椭圆和S 0。Antlia在T1与(C-T1)图中显示的斜率为-13.6,与Fornax,Virgo,Perseus和Coma等星团的结果一致,这些星团在动态上与Antlia不同。这一事实可能表明,星系团中巨磁共振的形成更多地与星系内部过程有关,而不是环境的影响。将CMR解释为古老恒星系统的光度-金属丰度关系,Antlia星系的金属丰度定义了一个低至Mv-13的全球关系。我们还发现,对于早型矮星,光度和有效半径之间没有明确的关系,表明一个几乎恒定的平均有效半径约为1千秒差距。这个值也在室女座和后发座的几个矮星系样本中发现。

英文摘要:

We present the first colour-magnitude relation (CMR) of early-type galaxies in the central region of the Antlia cluster, obtained from CCD wide-field photometry in the Washington photometric system. Integrated (C -T1) colours, T1 magnitudes, and effective radii have been measured for 93 galaxies (i.e. the largest galaxies sample in the Washington system till now) from the FS90 catalogue (Ferguson & Sandage 1990). Membership of 37 objects can be confirmed through new radial velocities and data collected from the literature. The resulting colour-magnitude diagram shows that early-type FS90 galaxies that are spectroscopically confirmed Antlia members or that were considered as definite members by FS90, follow a well defined CMR (sigma_(C -T1) ~ 0.07 mag) that spans 9 magnitudes in brightness with no apparent change of slope. This relation is very tight for the whole magnitude range but S0 galaxies show a larger dispersion, apparently due to a separation of ellipticals and S0s. Antlia displays a slope of -13.6 in a T1 vs. (C -T1) diagram, in agreement with results for clusters like Fornax, Virgo, Perseus and Coma, which are dynamically different to Antlia. This fact might indicate that the build up of the CMR in cluster of galaxies is more related to galaxies internal processes than to the influence of the environment. Interpreting the CMR as a luminosity-metallicity relation of old stellar systems, the metallicities of the Antlia galaxies define a global relation down to Mv ~ -13. We also find, for early-type dwarfs, no clear relation between luminosity and effective radius, indicating a nearly constant mean effective radius of ~ 1 kpc. This value is also found in several samples of dwarf galaxies in Virgo and Coma.
