Star formation in galaxies falling into clusters along supercluster-scale filaments

摘要:

借助来自光谱的统计参数,我们表明,当前的恒星形成率的星系,落入一个集群沿超星系团灯丝,很可能会经历一个突然的增强之前,星系达到的维里半径的集群。从一个样本的52个超星系团规模的星系丝加入一对丰富的星系团内的2度场红移调查区域,我们发现一个显着增强的恒星形成,在一个狭窄的范围内2-3小时/70百万秒差距的星系团的中心,该星系正在下降。这种恒星形成的爆发几乎只出现在较暗的矮星系(M_B> -20)中。峰值的相对位置并不取决于星系是否是星系团的成员,但非星系团的星系在落入星系团之前平均有更高的恒星形成率。从各种趋势中,我们得出结论,如果相互作用发生在星系的气体储存库因与星系的相互作用而被剥离之前,那么导致这种快速爆发的主要过程是与沿着同一条暗条落入星系团的其他星系的密切相互作用。团内介质。

英文摘要:

With the help of a statistical parameter derived from optical spectra, we show that the current star formation rate of a galaxy, falling into a cluster along a supercluster filament, is likely to undergo a sudden enhancement before the galaxy reaches the virial radius of the cluster. From a sample of 52 supercluster-scale filaments of galaxies joining a pair of rich clusters of galaxies within the two-degree Field Redshift Survey region, we find a significant enhancement of star formation, within a narrow range between 2-3 h/70 Mpc of the centre of the cluster into which the galaxy is falling. This burst of star formation is almost exclusively seen in the fainter dwarf galaxies (M_B> -20). The relative position of the peak does not depend on whether the galaxy is a member of a group or not, but non-group galaxies have on average a higher rate of star formation immediately before falling into a cluster. From the various trends, we conclude that the predominant process responsible for this rapid burst is the close interaction with other galaxies falling into the cluster along the same filament, if the interaction occurs before the gas reservoir of the galaxy gets stripped off due to the interaction with the intracluster medium.
