摘要:

我们研究星系的演化和空间格局的周围的一个样本的2dF组。我们的目标是找到星系演化的证据,并聚集到10倍维里半径的群体,因此重新定义他们的属性,根据空间模式的领域,并将它们与星系演化。在确定了红移分布的缺口后,群成员和闯入者被重新定义。然后,我们使用探索性的空间统计的基础上的二阶矩的里普利函数探测星系分布的各向异性周围的群体。我们发现,在这些领域的各向异性和早型星系的分数之间的一个重要的关系。我们的结果说明了如何通过系统地研究星系群的邻域来确定星系群的动力学状态,这是一个重要的成就,因为正确估计星系受星系群环境影响的程度并遵循大尺度的星系结构,对于理解宇宙中星系的成团和演化过程是非常重要的。

英文摘要:

We study galaxy evolution and spatial patterns in the surroundings of a sample of 2dF groups. Our aim is to find evidence of galaxy evolution and clustering out to 10 times the virial radius of the groups and so redefine their properties according to the spatial patterns in the fields and relate them to galaxy evolution. Group members and interlopers were redefined after the identification of gaps in the redshift distribution. We then used exploratory spatial statistics based on the second moment of the Ripley function to probe the anisotropy in the galaxy distribution around the groups. We found an important anticorrelation between anisotropy and the fraction of early-type galaxies in these fields. Our results illustrate how the dynamical state of galaxy groups can be ascertained by the systematic study of their neighborhoods.This is an important achievement, since the correct estimate of the extent to which galaxies are affected by the group environment and follow large-scale filamentary structure is relevant to understanding the process of galaxy clustering and evolution in the Universe.
