关于早型伽辽金色量关系

On the Color Magnitude Relation of Early-type Galaxies

Joachim Janz, Thorsten Lisker

摘要:

本文利用Sloan数字巡天成像资料研究了室女星系团中468个早型星系的色星等关系。我们的同质,独立于模型的数据集的分析表明,在所有颜色(u-g,g-r,g-i,i-z)类似,巨大和矮早型星系遵循一个连续的颜色星等关系(CMR),这是最好的S形描述。我们数据的质量和幅度范围使我们能够清楚地确认室女座的CMR不是线性的。此外,我们分析了CMR的散射,发现它在中间光度制度增加。然而,尽管有这种观测上的区别,我们从半解析模型预测的相似形状的CMR中得出结论,矮星和巨星可能是同一起源的。

英文摘要:

In this letter we present a study of the color magnitude relation of 468 early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster with Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging data. The analysis of our homogeneous, model-independent data set reveals that, in all colors (u-g, g-r, g-i, i-z) similarly, giant and dwarf early-type galaxies follow a continuous color magnitude relation (CMR) that is best described by an S-shape. The magnitude range and quality of our data allows us to clearly confirm that the CMR in Virgo is not linear. Additionally, we analyze the scatter about the CMR and find that it increases in the intermediate-luminosity regime. Nevertheless, despite this observational distinction, we conclude from the similarly shaped CMR of semi-analytic model predictions that dwarfs and giants could be of the same origin.
