摘要:

然后,我们在后发座星系团(I_Vega~-11.5)中寻找了暗星系的择优取向。通过对后发座星系团的深u* 和I波段图像应用反卷积方法,我们能够将方向恢复到微弱的星等。在超过95%的星系团中没有发现优先取向,并且越亮的星系,优先取向越少。晚型星系的短轴呈放射状东北-西南方向,在西部X射线子结构中呈南北方向。对于早期型星系,在西部区域表现出明显的择优取向,星系主轴垂直于南北方向。在NGC 4889附近的东部重要区域,星系长轴也指向2个星系团的主导星系。在南部的重要区域,星系平面与星系团中心方向相切,除了靠近(α =194.8,δ =27.65)的地方,那里的方向接近-15度。晚型星系短轴和早型星系长轴的部分取向可以用宇宙学细丝和局部合并方向的潮汐力矩模型来解释。另一部分(靠近NGC 4889)可以通过准直入射来解释。对于早期类型的星系,(α =194.8,δ =27.65)区域显示的方向,可能是由于涉及诱导恒星形成的过程。

英文摘要:

We have then searched for preferential orientations of faint galaxies in the Coma cluster (down I_Vega~-11.5). By applying a deconvolution method to deep u* and I band images of the Coma cluster, we were able to recover orientations down to faint magnitudes. No preferential orientations are found in more than 95% of the cluster, and the brighter the galaxies, the fewer preferential orientations. The minor axes of late type galaxies are radially oriented along a northeast -southwest direction and are oriented north-south in the western X-ray sub- structures. For early type galaxies, in the western regions showing significant preferential orientations, galaxy major axes are oriented perpendicularly to the north-south direction. In the eastern significant region and close to NGC 4889, galaxy major axes also point toward the 2 cluster dominant galaxies. In the southern significant regions, galaxy planes are tangential with respect to the clustercentric direction, except close to (alpha=194.8, delta=27.65) where the orientation is close to -15deg. Part of the orientations of the minor axes of late type galaxies and of the major axes of early type galaxies can be explained by a tidal torque model applied to cosmological filaments and local merging directions. Another part (close to NGC4889) can be accounted for by collimated infalls. For early type galaxies, the (alpha=194.8, delta=27.65) region shows orientations that probably result from processes involving induced star formation.
