星系动物园:一类不寻常的新星系团

Galaxy Zoo: an unusual new class of galaxy cluster

Marven F. Pedbost, Trillean Pomalgu, the Galaxy Zoo team

摘要:

我们已经确定了一个新的类别的星系团使用的数据从银河动物园项目。这些星团很罕见,因此尽管它们有着不同寻常的特性,但以前显然没有被注意到。当考虑到它们的组成星系的形态特征时,它们显得特别反常。因此,它们的识别取决于对大量星系的目视检查,这一壮举直到最近才由银河动物园和斯隆数字巡天计划一起实现。我们提出了我们的集群样本的基本属性,并讨论可能的形成方案和宇宙学的影响。

英文摘要:

We have identified a new class of galaxy cluster using data from the Galaxy Zoo project. These clusters are rare, and thus have apparently gone unnoticed before, despite their unusual properties. They appear especially anomalous when the morphological properties of their component galaxies are considered. Their identification therefore depends upon the visual inspection of large numbers of galaxies, a feat which has only recently been made possible by Galaxy Zoo, together with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We present the basic properties of our cluster sample, and discuss possible formation scenarios and implications for cosmology.
