群Galerkin与邻群的对准

Alignments of Group Galaxies with Neighboring Groups

Yougang Wang, Changbom Park, Xiaohu Yang, Yun-Young Choi, Xuelei Chen

摘要:

利用Sloan数字巡天数据Release 4中发现的星系群样本,我们测量了以下四种类型的排列信号:(1)星系群卫星分布相对于最近邻星系群(NNG)方向的排列,(2)主星系群(HG)中心星系长轴方向与NNG方向的排列,(3)主星系群中心星系长轴方向与NNG方向的排列,(4)主星系群中心星系长轴方向与NNG方向的排列。(3)HG和NNG中心星系长轴的排列,(4)HG卫星星系长轴与NNG方向的排列。我们发现强烈的信号之间的卫星分布和中央星系的方向相对于NNG的方向对齐,即使当NNG位于超出主机组的$3r_{\rm vir}$。HG中央星系的长轴与NNG的方向一致。对于质量更大且具有早期类型中心星系的星系群,校准信号更为突出。我们还发现,对于两个早期中心星系的系统,HG和NNG的中心星系的两个长轴有平行的倾向,而对于两个晚型中心星系的系统则没有这种倾向。对于卫星星系的取向,我们没有发现任何显着的对齐信号相对于NNG的方向。从这四种类型的校准测量,我们得出结论,大尺度环境跟踪附近的集团主要影响主机暗物质晕的形状,因此也影响卫星星系的分布和中央星系的方向。(缩短版)

英文摘要:

Using a sample of galaxy groups found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, we measure the following four types of alignment signals: (1) the alignment between the distributions of the satellites of each group relative to the direction of the nearest neighbor group (NNG); (2) the alignment between the major axis direction of the central galaxy of the host group (HG) and the direction of the NNG; (3) the alignment between the major axes of the central galaxies of the HG and the NNG; and (4) the alignment between the major axes of the satellites of the HG and the direction of the NNG. We find strong signal of alignment between the satellite distribution and the orientation of central galaxy relative to the direction of the NNG, even when the NNG is located beyond $3r_{\rm vir}$ of the host group. The major axis of the central galaxy of the HG is aligned with the direction of the NNG. The alignment signals are more prominent for groups that are more massive and with early type central galaxies. We also find that there is a preference for the two major axis of the central galaxies of the HG and NNG to be parallel for the system with both early central galaxies, however not for the systems with both late type central galaxies. For the orientation of satellite galaxies, we do not find any significant alignment signals relative to the direction of the NNG. From these four types of alignment measurements, we conclude that the large scale environment traced by the nearby group affects primarily the shape of the host dark matter halo, and hence also affects the distribution of satellite galaxies and the orientation of central galaxies.
