摘要:

星系群和星系团在大尺度宇宙结构中占有特殊的地位,因为它们是宇宙中最大和质量最大(从~10^13 Msun到超过10^15 Msun)的物体,有时间经历引力坍缩。大质量的星系团意味着它们的物质是从大约8-40 Mpc大小的共同运动区域中吸积而来的,因此应该代表宇宙的平均物质含量。在未来十年中,敏感的多波长观测应该能够绘制出z<~ 1的所有主要质量成分(恒星、冷、暖、热气体和总质量)的径向分布图。与此同时,对真实和模拟星系团样本的比较研究将使我们能够将星系团作为名副其实的天体物理实验室,用于研究星系形成,以及测试我们的结构形成理论模型和关于支配宇宙的基本物理学的基本假设。

英文摘要:

Groups and clusters of galaxies occupy a special position in the hierarchy of large-scale cosmic structures because they are the largest and the most massive (from ~10^13 Msun to over 10^15 Msun) objects in the universe that have had time to undergo gravitational collapse. The large masses of clusters imply that their contents have been accreted from regions of ~8-40 comoving Mpc in size and should thus be representative of the mean matter content of the universe. During the next decade sensitive multi-wavelength observations should be able to map the radial distributions of all main mass components (stars, cold, warm, and hot gas and total mass) at z<~ 1 out to the virial radius. At the same time, comparative studies of real and simulated cluster samples sould allow us to use clusters as veritable astrophysical laboratories for studying galaxy formation, as well as testing our theoretical models of structure formation and underlying assumptions about fundamental physics governing the universe.
