摘要:

当星系的恒星形成被淬灭时,星系从蓝色云迁移到红色序列。在这里,我们报告的星系淬火环境的影响,而不是合并或强大的活动星系核经常调用:他们形成恒星的速度降低,这是光学甚至不太显眼,并表现出过渡人口的蓝色螺旋演变成S0星系。这些“光学被动”或“红色螺旋”在STAGES项目(和银河动物园)中大量发现于星团和星系群的坠落区域。

英文摘要:

Galaxies migrate from the blue cloud to the red sequence when their star formation is quenched. Here, we report on galaxies quenched by environmental effects and not by mergers or strong AGN as often invoked: They form stars at a reduced rate which is optically even less conspicuous, and manifest a transition population of blue spirals evolving into S0 galaxies. These 'optically passive' or 'red spirals' are found in large numbers in the STAGES project (and by Galaxy Zoo) in the infall region of clusters and groups.
