本文给出了23个ESO成像巡天(EIS)星系团场中747个星系的新红移。我们使用的“差距”的技术,以寻找显着的超密度在红移空间识别组/星系团。通过这种方式,我们在23个簇候选场中的10个中光谱确认了匹配滤波器估计红移z_MF=0.3-0.4的系统,并且光谱红移在z=0.158到z=0.534的范围内。我们发现,本文所识别的系统具有较宽的一维速度频散(175-497 km/s)和丰富度(12 L *<=L<= 65 L *)范围。采样不足和子结构的污染都有助于这些测量的不确定性。通过对星系群颜色的分析,我们发现~60%的光谱学确认的系统具有与被动恒星演化模型颜色匹配的“显著”红色序列。利用这篇论文,我们完成了对58个红移z<=0.4的EIS星系团候选者的光谱测量。我们总共测量了1954个星系在z=0.0065到z=0.6706范围内的红移。在58个系统中,我们确认了42个(约75%)的红移在z=0.095和z=0.534之间。
英文摘要:
abridged) In this paper we present new redshifts for 747 galaxies in 23 ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) cluster fields. We use the "gap"-technique to search for significant overdensities in redshift space for identifying groups/clusters of galaxies. In this way we spectroscopically confirm systems in 10 of the 23 cluster candidate fields with a matched-filter estimated redshift z_MF=0.3-0.4 and with spectroscopic redshifts in the range from z=0.158 to z=0.534. We find that the systems identified in the present paper span a broad range of one-dimensional velocity dispersion (175-497 km/s) and richness (12L*<=L<=65L*). Both undersampling and contamination by substructures contribute to the uncertainty of these measurements. From the analysis of the colours of the galaxy populations we find that ~60% of the spectroscopically confirmed systems have a "significant" red sequence with a colour matching passive stellar evolution models. With this paper we complete our spectroscopic survey of the fields of 58 EIS cluster candidates with estimated redshifts z<=0.4. We have measured a total of 1954 galaxy redshifts in the range z=0.0065 to z=0.6706. Of the 58 systems we confirm 42 (~75%) with redshifts between z=0.095 and z=0.534.
The precision study of dark matter using weak lensing by large scale structure is strongly constrained by the accuracy with which one can measure galaxy shapes. Several methods have been devised but none have demonstrated the ability to reach the level of precision required by future weak lensing surveys. In this Letter we explore new avenues to the existing Shapelets approach, combining a priori knowledge of the galaxy profile with the power of orthogonal basis function decomposition. This Letter discusses the new issues raised by this matched filter approach and proposes promising alternativ…
