The Magnitude-Diameter Relation of Galaxies

Sidney van den Bergh

摘要:

我们研究了星系的光度-直径关系对环境的依赖性。这项研究是基于Shapley-Ames星表中距离10 Mpc以内的80个星系之间的比较,以及Virgo和Coma等大星系团中星系的光度-直径关系。10 Mpc以内星系的绝对星等与其线直径的绝对值之间存在较紧密的线性相关。令人惊讶的是,这种观察到的幂律关系似乎是几乎独立的环境和当地的质量密度所定义的Karachentsev和Malakov。然而,在给定的光度下,早期类型的星系(平均而言)比后期类型的天体稍微紧凑一些。出乎意料的是,目前的结果似乎表明,10 Mpc以内的星系的光度-直径关系与在密度更大的室女星系团中观察到的是无法区分的。Galerkin在参数空间中形成几乎一维的族。为什么星系的光度-直径关系对环境如此不敏感,这仍然是一个谜。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dependence of the luminosity-diameter relation of galaxies on the environment. This study is based on a comparison between the 80 galaxies in the Shapley-Ames Catalog that are located within a distance of 10 Mpc, and the luminosity-diameter relation for galaxies in great clusters such as Virgo and Coma. A relatively tight linear correlation is observed between the absolute magnitudes and the logarithms of the linear diameters of galaxies located within 10 Mpc. Surprisingly this observed power-law relationship appears to be almost independent of environment and local mass density as defined by Karachentsev & Malakov. However, at a given luminosity, early-type galaxies are (on average) slightly more compact than are objects of a later type. Unexpectedly the present results appear to indicate that the luminosity-diameter relation for the galaxies within 10 Mpc is indistinguishable from what is observed in the much denser Virgo cluster. Galaxies appear to form an almost one-dimensional family in parameter space. It remains a mystery why the luminosity-diameter relation for galaxies is so insensitive to environment.
