摘要:

利用斯皮策红外线阵列照相机(IRAC)浅层巡天中7.25度^2区域的4.5 μ m选定的天体样本,我们已经确定了335个星系团和星系群候选者,其中106个在z > 1。根据来自IRAC和NOAO深宽场巡天数据的光度红移概率分布,使用小波算法将星系团确定为三维超密度。我们估计只有~10%的检测是虚假的。到目前为止,12个z > 1的候选者已经被光谱确认,红移从1.06到1.41。其中两个星系的速度色散约为750 km/s,这表明星系团的总质量远高于10^14太阳质量,这与近红外恒星光度的静止坐标系估算的质量一样。虽然没有选择包含红色序列,但在光谱证实的星系团中存在一些红色序列的证据,并且在所有红移下,较亮的星系比星系团中的平均星系颜色更红。星系团的平均I - [3.6]色与一个被动演化的模型很好地匹配,在这个模型中,恒星是在红移z_f = 3的0.1 Gyr爆发中形成的。当z > 1时,需要更宽的形成历史范围,但对大多数团簇来说,更高的形成红移(即z_f > 3)是有利的。

英文摘要:

We have identified 335 galaxy cluster and group candidates, 106 of which are at z > 1, using a 4.5 um selected sample of objects from a 7.25 deg^2 region in the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) Shallow Survey. Clusters were identified as 3-dimensional overdensities using a wavelet algorithm, based on photometric redshift probability distributions derived from IRAC and NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey data. We estimate only ~10% of the detections are spurious. To date 12 of the z > 1 candidates have been confirmed spectroscopically, at redshifts from 1.06 to 1.41. Velocity dispersions of ~750 km/s for two of these argue for total cluster masses well above 10^14 M_sun, as does the mass estimated from the rest frame near infrared stellar luminosity. Although not selected to contain a red sequence, some evidence for red sequences is present in the spectroscopically confirmed clusters, and brighter galaxies are systematically redder than the mean galaxy color in clusters at all redshifts. The mean I - [3.6] color for cluster galaxies up to z ~ 1 is well matched by a passively evolving model in which stars are formed in a 0.1 Gyr burst starting at redshift z_f = 3. At z > 1, a wider range of formation histories is needed, but higher formation redshifts (i.e. z_f > 3) are favored for most clusters.
