半导体中贫群的形态与动力学的关系

The Relation between Morphology and Dynamics of Poor Groups of Galaxies

H. Tovmassian, M. Plionis

摘要:

我们使用两个最近编制的星系群星表(一个基于2 MASS红移巡天,另一个基于SDSS Data Release 5星系表)研究了星系群的投影形态(b/a)和速度色散(sigma_v)之间的关系。我们发现星系群的sigma_v与星系群投影b/a和星系群的大小密切相关,拉长的和较大的星系群具有较低的sigma_v。这种相关性可以归因于星系群的动力学演化,在星系群形成的初始阶段,星系群具有小的sigma_v,大的尺寸和拉长的形状,反映了星系沿星系结构的各向异性吸积。然而,如果净星系运动优先沿着星系群的伸长方向,那么同样的相关性也可以在长轴星系群中重现,因为靠近视线的星系群看起来更像球形,投影尺寸小,sigma_v大,而靠近天平面的星系群在投影中看起来更大,更伸长,并且将具有较小的sigma_v。我们执行仅与组的动态演化相关的测试(例如,计算星系群中早型星系所占的比例),并且我们发现星系群sigma_v(投影主轴)与早型星系所占的比例之间存在很强的正(负)相关。我们的结论是:(a)观测到的组sigma_v对组投影大小和b/a的依赖性,应该主要归因于组的动力学状态和(b)局部宇宙中的组不构成一个动态平衡的对象家族,而是一个宇宙结构家族,目前处于其维里化过程的各个阶段。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relation between the projected morphology (b/a) and the velocity dispersion (sigma_v) of groups of galaxies using two recently compiled group catalogs, one based on the 2MASS redshift survey and the other on the SDSS Data Release 5 galaxy catalog. We find that the sigma_v of groups is strongly correlated with the group projected b/a and size, with elongated and larger groups having a lower sigma_v. Such a correlation could be attributed to the dynamical evolution of groups, with groups in the initial stages of formation, having small sigma_v, a large size and an elongated shape that reflects the anisotropic accretion of galaxies along filamentary structures. The same sort of correlations, however, could also be reproduced in prolate-like groups, if the net galaxy motion is preferentially along the group elongation, since then the groups oriented close to the line of sight will appear more spherical, will have a small projected size and large sigma_v, while groups oriented close to the sky-plane will appear larger in projection, more elongated, and will have smaller sigma_v. We perform tests that relate only to the dynamical evolution of groups (eg., calculating the fraction of early type galaxies in groups) and indeed we find a strong positive (negative) correlation between the group sigma_v (projected major axis) with the fraction of early type galaxies. We conclude that (a) the observed dependencies of the group sigma_v on the group projected size and b/a, should be attributed mostly to the dynamical state of groups and (b) groups in the local universe do not constitute a family of objects in dynamical equilibrium, but rather a family of cosmic structures that are presently at various stages of their virialization process.
