星系团的轨道速度各向异性:演化

The orbital velocity anisotropy of cluster galaxies: evolution

A. Biviano, B. M. Poggianti

摘要:

在邻近的星系团中,早型星系遵循各向同性的轨道,而晚型星系的轨道具有轻微的径向各向异性。对于红移在z~0.3以上的不同星系团的轨道知之甚少。在这里,我们调查的红移演化的星系团的轨道使用两个样本的星系团跨越类似的(进化校正)质量范围在不同的红移。低红移(z~0.0-0.1)的样品是从ENACS星表中提取的,而高红移(z~0.4-0.8)的样品主要由EDisCS星表中的星系团组成。对于这些样本中的每一个,我们解决了牛仔裤方程分别为两个星系团星系人口的流体静力平衡,其特征在于存在和,分别在其光谱中的发射线(“ELG”和“nELG”以下)。使用两个示踪剂的引力势允许部分打破众所周知的质量速度各向异性简并。我们发现ELG的轨道没有显着的演变。另一方面,nELG的轨道演化,从径向各向同性的时间。我们推测这种演化可能是由星系团在快速吸积阶段的长期质量增长所驱动的。在低z和高z样品中,团簇的质量密度分布都很好地拟合了NFW模型。最佳拟合的NFW浓度及其红移演化与Lambda CDM宇宙学模拟的预测一致。nELG的数量密度曲线的演变与质量密度曲线的演变相反,随着时间的推移变得不那么集中,可能是ELG转化为nELG的结果[摘要]。

英文摘要:

In nearby clusters early-type galaxies follow isotropic orbits, while the orbits of late-type galaxies are characterized by slightly radial anisotropy. Little is known about the orbits of the different populations of cluster galaxies at redshift above z~0.3. Here we investigate the redshift evolution of the orbits of cluster galaxies using two samples of galaxy clusters spanning similar (evolutionary corrected) mass ranges at different redshifts. The low-redshift (z~0.0-0.1) sample is extracted from the ENACS catalog and the high-redshift (z~0.4-0.8) sample is mostly made of clusters from the EDisCS. For each of these samples, we solve the Jeans equation for hydrostatic equilibrium separately for two cluster galaxy populations, characterized by the presence and, respectively, absence of emission-lines in their spectra ('ELGs' and 'nELGs' hereafter). Using two tracers of the gravitational potential allows to partially break the well known mass-velocity anisotropy degeneracy. We find no significant evolution for the orbits of ELGs. On the other hand the orbits of nELGs do evolve, from radial to isotropic with time. We speculate that this evolution may be driven by the secular mass growth of galaxy clusters during their fast accretion phase. The mass density profiles of the clusters are well fit by NFW models both in the low-z and in the high-z samples. The best-fit NFW concentrations and their redshift evolution are in agreement with the predictions of Lambda CDM cosmological simulations. The evolution of the number density profile of nELGs is opposite to that of the mass density profile, becoming less concentrated with time, probably a result of the transformation of ELGs into nELGs [abridged].
