摘要:

XMMU J1229+0151是一个丰富的星系团,红移z=0.975,是在XMM-牛顿遥远星系团计划的范围内偶然发现的X射线。HST/ACS在i775和z 850通带,以及VLT/FORS 2光谱观测进一步获得,除了后续的近红外(NIR)成像在J-和KS-波段与NTT/SOFI。研究了高红移星系团XMMU J1229+0151中早型星系的光度、结构和光谱性质。在光学和近红外成像中进行源检测和孔径测光。星系形态进行了检查目视和Sersic配置文件拟合的21光谱确认的集群成员在ACS的视野。用Sersic模型拟合星系的表面亮度,得到星系的星等,并由此导出了i775-z 850的色-星等关系(CMR)。分光成员的i775-z 850 CMR显示了一个非常紧密的红色序列,零点为0.86 ± 0.04等,内禀散射为0.039等。用Bruzual & Charlot 2003的模型拟合观测到的光谱能量分布(SED),得到了星系团的恒星质量和形成年龄。我们得到的恒星形成加权年龄为4.3 Gyr的中位数质量为7.4e10 Msun。而不是一个明确的最亮的星系团(BCG),我们发现三个明亮的星系与类似的z 850等,这是,此外,最大的星系团成员,与~ 2 e11 Msun。我们的研究结果加强了目前的证据,缺乏显着的演变的分散和斜率的红色序列到z~1。

英文摘要:

XMMU J1229+0151 is a rich galaxy cluster with redshift z=0.975, that was serendipitously detected in X-rays within the scope of the XMM-Newton Distant Cluster Project. HST/ACS observations in the i775 and z850 passbands, as well as VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy were further obtained, in addition to follow-up Near-Infrared (NIR) imaging in J- and Ks-bands with NTT/SOFI. We investigate the photometric, structural and spectral properties of the early-type galaxies in the high-redshift cluster XMMU J1229+0151. Source detection and aperture photometry are performed in the optical and NIR imaging. Galaxy morphology is inspected visually and by means of Sersic profile fitting to the 21 spectroscopically confirmed cluster members in the ACS field of view. The i775-z850 colour-magnitude relation (CMR) is derived with a method based on galaxy magnitudes obtained by fitting the surface brightness of the galaxies with Sersic models. The i775-z850 CMR of the spectroscopic members shows a very tight red-sequence with a zero point of 0.86+-0.04 mag and intrinsic scatter equal to 0.039 mag. The CMR obtained with the galaxy models has similar parameters. Stellar masses and formation ages of the cluster galaxies are derived by fitting the observed spectral energy distributions (SED) with models based on Bruzual & Charlot 2003. We obtain a star formation weighted age of 4.3 Gyr for a median mass of 7.4e10 Msun. Instead of an unambiguous brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), we find three bright galaxies with a similar z850 magnitude, which are, in addition, the most massive cluster members, with ~ 2e11 Msun. Our results strengthen the current evidence for a lack of significant evolution of the scatter and slope of the red-sequence out to z~1.
