摘要:

我们发现证据的加速演化的致密群星系从分布在中红外色空间的42个星系从12个希克森致密组(HCG)相比,其他几个样本,包括LVL+SINGS星系,相互作用的星系,星系后发座星系团的分布。我们发现HCG星系在色空间中并不是均匀分布的,并且有定量的证据表明存在一个间隙。后发座星系团落区的星系团也表现出不均匀的分布和不太明确的间隙,这可能反映了与致密星系团环境的相似性。无论是昏迷中心还是相互作用的样本都没有显示出间隙的证据,这使我们推测,间隙是高星系密度环境中所特有的,在这种环境中,气体还没有被完全处理或剥离。

英文摘要:

We find evidence for accelerated evolution in compact group galaxies from the distribution in mid-infrared colorspace of 42 galaxies from 12 Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) compared to the the distributions of several other samples including the LVL+SINGS galaxies, interacting galaxies, and galaxies from the Coma Cluster. We find that the HCG galaxies are not uniformly distributed in colorspace, as well as quantitative evidence for a gap. Galaxies in the infall region of the Coma cluster also exhibit a non-uniform distribution and a less well defined gap, which may reflect a similarity with the compact group environment. Neither the Coma Center or interacting samples show evidence of a gap, leading us to speculate that the gap is unique to the environment of high galaxy density where gas has not been fully processed or stripped.
