Abell 959星系团的内部动力学

Internal dynamics of the galaxy cluster Abell 959

W. Boschin, R. Barrena, M. Girardi

摘要:

星系团合并与星系团中广泛的、弥散的射电源之间的联系仍在争论之中。在本文中,我们的目标是获得新的见解Abell 959的内部动力学,显示的扩散射电源的证据,分析成员星系的速度和位置。我们的分析是基于红移数据的107个星系在星系团领域获得的国家伽利略望远镜。我们还使用斯隆数字巡天(数据发布6)的光度数据。我们结合星系的速度和位置,选择81个星系团成员,并确定全球动力学特性。我们使用几种统计方法来分析子结构的聚类搜索。我们还研究了星系团场中的二维星系分布。我们比较我们的结果与X射线和引力透镜分析。我们估计星系团的红移为z=0.2883 +/- 0.0004。我们在距星团中心5'处探测到一个NE向高速群,相对于主系统的视线速度约为+1900 km/s。我们还检测到一个中心,密集的结构,沿东南-西北方向可能连接到两个占主导地位的星系及其周围的核心。这个拉长的中心结构可能是一个古老的集群合并的痕迹。星系的视轴速度色散很高(1025(-75/+104)km/s)。维里质量为M(<R=1.48 Mpc)= 1.15(-0.19/+0.25)Msun。我们的研究结果表明,该星系团是沿着两个主要的质量吸积方向形成的,并显示出射电星系团的典型特征;即,它的质量很大,并显示出年轻的动力学状态。然而,需要更深入的射电观测来澄清Abell 959中弥漫射电辐射的性质。

英文摘要:

The connection of cluster mergers with the presence of extended, diffuse radio sources in galaxy clusters is still being debated. In this paper we aim to obtain new insights into the internal dynamics of Abell 959, showing evidence of a diffuse radio source, analyzing velocities and positions of member galaxies. Our analysis is based on redshift data for 107 galaxies in the cluster field acquired at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. We also use photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Data Release 6). We combine galaxy velocities and positions to select 81 galaxies recognized as cluster members and determine global dynamical properties. We analyze the cluster searching for substructures by using several statistical methods. We also study the 2D galaxy distribution in the field of the cluster. We compare our results with those from X-ray and gravitational lensing analyses. We estimate a cluster redshift of z=0.2883 +/- 0.0004. We detect an NE high velocity group at 5' from the cluster center with a relative line--of--sight (LOS) velocity of ~ +1900 km/s with respect to the main system. We also detect a central, dense structure elongated along the SE--NW direction likely connected with the two dominant galaxies and their surrounding cores. This elongated central structure is probably the trace of an old cluster merger. The LOS velocity dispersion of galaxies is very high (1025 (-75/+104) km/s). The virial mass is M(<R=1.48 Mpc)= 1.15 (-0.19/+0.25) Msun. Our results suggest that this cluster is forming along two main directions of mass accretion and show the typical characteristics of radio clusters; i.e., it is very massive and shows a young dynamical state. However, deeper radio observations are needed to clarify the nature of the diffuse radio emission in Abell 959.
