星系团中的恒星形成效率

Star formation efficiency in galaxy clusters

T. F. Lagana, G. B. Lima Neto, F. Andrade-Santos, E. S. Cypriano

摘要:

星系团中的发光物质主要分为两种形式:可见星系和发射X射线的星系团内介质。炽热的星系团内部气体是星系团中主要的重子成分,其质量大约是恒星成分的6倍。可见星系中的质量约占动力学质量的3%。我们的目标是分析这两个重子分量,结合X射线和光学数据的样本的五个星系团(阿贝尔496,1689,2050,2631和2667),在红移范围0.03 < z < 0.3。我们确定了星系中的恒星和星系团内介质对总重子预算的贡献。我们使用公开的XMM-牛顿数据来确定气体质量并获得X射线子结构。使用SDSS或CFHT的光学对应物,我们确定了恒星的贡献。我们研究了星系,星系团内的光和星系团内的介质的相对贡献的重子预算通过恒星与气体的质量比,估计使用最近的数据。我们发现,恒星气体的质量比内r_500(半径的平均集群密度超过临界密度的一个因素500),是反相关的ICM温度,范围从24%到6%,而温度范围从4.0到8.3千电子伏。这表明,质量较小的冷星团比质量较大的热星团更适合恒星的形成。

英文摘要:

The luminous material in clusters of galaxies falls primarily into two forms: the visible galaxies and the X-ray emitting intra-cluster medium. The hot intra-cluster gas is the major observed baryonic component of clusters, about six times more massive than the stellar component. The mass contained within visible galaxies amounts to approximately 3% of the dynamical mass. Our aim was to analyze both baryonic components, combining X-ray and optical data of a sample of five galaxy clusters (Abell 496, 1689, 2050, 2631 and 2667), within the redshift range 0.03 < z < 0.3. We determined the contribution of stars in galaxies and the intra-cluster medium to the total baryon budget. We used public XMM-Newton data to determine the gas mass and to obtain the X-ray substructures. Using the optical counterparts from SDSS or CFHT we determined the stellar contribution. We examine the relative contribution of galaxies, intra-cluster light and intra-cluster medium to baryon budget in clusters through the stellar-to-gas mass ratio, estimated with use of recent data. We find that the stellar-to-gas mass ratio within r_500 (the radius which the mean cluster density exceeds the critical density by a factor of 500), is anti-correlated with the ICM temperature, ranging from 24% to 6% whereas the temperature ranges from 4.0 to 8.3 keV. This indicates that less massive cold clusters are more prolific star forming environments than massive hot clusters.
