摘要:

利用宽视场$BVR_cI$成像技术,对加拿大观测宇宙学网络(hocC 1)巡天中的16个中等红移($0.17 < z < 0.55$)星系团进行了研究。在光度红移空间中,用经验光度红移技术估算星系光度红移,用修正的朋友算法识别星系群,用红星系分数(\fred)来推断星系团中星系的演化状态,包括单个星系和星系群。我们应用本地星系密度,\sig 5,来自使用第五近邻距离,作为衡量本地环境,和集群中心半径,\rCL,作为全球集群环境的代理。我们的集群样本表现出布彻Oemler效应在光度选择和恒星质量选择的样本。我们发现,\fred强烈依赖于\sig 5和\rCL,并且在所有\sig 5和\rCL仓中都观察到Butcher-Oemler效应。然而,当星系团被分成\rCL箱,或成组和非组的子样本,对本地星系密度的依赖性变得弱得多。这表明星系所处的暗物质晕的性质对星系的数量和演化历史有着决定性的影响。我们发现,我们的数据是一致的情况下,星系团星系位于连续丰富的群体(即,更大质量的暗物质晕)在更早的红移处达到高的\fred值。与此相关,我们观察到一个明确的“预处理”特征,其中. <and more>

英文摘要:

Using wide-field $BVR_cI$ imaging for a sample of 16 intermediate redshift ($0.17 < z < 0.55$) galaxy clusters from the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC1) Survey, we investigate the dependence of cluster galaxy populations and their evolution on environment. Galaxy photometric redshifts are estimated using an empirical photometric redshift technique and galaxy groups are identified using a modified friends-of-friends algorithm in photometric redshift space.We utilize the red galaxy fraction (\fred) to infer the evolutionary status of galaxies in clusters, using both individual galaxies and galaxies in groups. We apply the local galaxy density, \sig5, derived using the fifth nearest-neighbor distance, as a measure of local environment, and the cluster-centric radius, \rCL, as a proxy for global cluster environment. Our cluster sample exhibits a Butcher-Oemler effect in both luminosity-selected and stellar-mass-selected samples. We find that \fred depends strongly on \sig5 and \rCL, and the Butcher-Oemler effect is observed in all \sig5 and \rCL bins. However, when the cluster galaxies are separated into \rCL bins, or into group and non-group subsamples, the dependence on local galaxy density becomes much weaker. This suggests that the properties of the dark matter halo in which the galaxy resides have a dominant effect on its galaxy population and evolutionary history. We find that our data are consistent with the scenario that cluster galaxies situated in successively richer groups (i.e., more massive dark matter halos) reach a high \fred value at earlier redshifts. Associated with this, we observe a clear signature of `pre-processing', in which ... <and more>
