星系团中环境与星系性质的关系

On the relationship between environment and galaxy properties in clusters of galaxies

Hector J. Martinez, Valeria Coenda, Hernan Muriel

摘要:

利用Sloan数字巡天(SDSS)研究了星系团中亮(L>L*)星系的不同性质与环境的相关性。本文所用的星系团样本是Coenda & Muriel从Popesso等人和Koester等人的样本中选取的。这些星系团中的星系团已经在SDSS第五次数据发布(DR 5)的主要星系样本中被确定。我们利用Blanton等人的方法分析了星系性质与星系团质量或星系团中心距离的关系,发现对于质量大于M10 ^{14}M_sun的星系团,星系性质并不明显依赖于星系团质量。另一方面,星系的性质与星系团的中心距离有关。受聚类中心距离影响最大的属性是g-r颜色,紧随其后的是u-r颜色。这些结果与聚类选择标准无关。这两个星系团的样本分别是根据X射线发射和星系颜色识别的。此外,最能预测环境的参数(即星系团中心距离)与Martinez和Muriel在星系群中发现的参数以及Blanton等人在场星系局域密度中发现的参数相同。

英文摘要:

We study the correlation between different properties of bright (L>L*) galaxies in clusters and the environment in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Samples of clusters of galaxies used in this paper are those selected by Coenda & Muriel that are drawn from the Popesso et al. and Koester et al. samples. Galaxies in these clusters have been identified in the Main Galaxy Sample of the Fifth Data Release (DR5) of SDSS. We analyse which galaxy properties correlate best with either, cluster mass or cluster-centric distance using the technique by Blanton et al. We find that galaxy properties do not clearly depend on cluster mass for clusters more massive than M~10^{14}M_sun. On the other hand, galaxy properties correlate with cluster-centric distance. The property most affected by the cluster-centric distance is g-r colour, closely followed by the u-r colour. These results are irrespective of the cluster selection criteria. The two samples of clusters were identified based on the X-ray emission and the galaxy colours, respectively. Moreover, the parameter that best predicts environment (i.e. cluster-centric distance) is the same found by Martinez & Muriel for groups of galaxies and Blanton at al. for the local density of field galaxies.
