低表面亮度星系的大尺度环境

The large-scale environment of low surface brightness galaxies

S. D. Rosenbaum, E. Krusch, D. J. Bomans, R. -J. Dettmar

摘要:

导致低表面亮度星系(LSB)存在的确切形成场景和演化过程尚未完全了解。由于LSB的环境以前只在小尺度(低于2 Mpc)上进行过研究,因此在更大尺度上研究LSB星系附近的星系内容可以为我们对这类星系起源的理解增加很多。我们使用SDSS DR 4的光谱主星系样本来研究LSB星系的环境星系密度,并与高表面亮度星系(HSB)附近的星系密度进行比较。环境研究,分为两个红移箱,表明低质量和更大质量的LSB都拥有比HSB更低的星系密度的环境。在2和5百万秒差距之间的尺度上,集团和细丝的尺度上,LSB和HSB之间的星系密度的差异是显着的。为了量化这一点,我们首次推出了LSB-HSB抗偏置器件。得到的LSB-HSB抗偏参数值为10%~ 15%。从这些结果中,我们得出结论,LSB形成于初始宇宙的低密度区域,直到现在一直漂移到大尺度结构的细丝和壁的外部。此外,我们的研究结果以及实际的宇宙学模拟表明,LSB是由先天和后天的混合造成的。

英文摘要:

The exact formation scenarios and evolutionary processes that led to the existence of the class of low surface brightness galaxies (LSBs) have not yet been understood completely. Since the environment of LSBs has been studied before only on small scales (below 2 Mpc), a study of the galaxy content in the vicinity of LSB galaxies on larger scales could add a lot to our understanding of the origin of this galaxy class. We used the spectroscopic main galaxy sample of the SDSS DR4 to investigate the environmental galaxy density of LSB galaxies compared to the galaxy density in the vicinity of high surface brightness galaxies (HSBs). The environment studies, divided into two redshift bins, show that both the low mass, and the more massive LSBs possess an environment with a lower galaxy density than HSBs. The differences in the galaxy density between LSBs and HSBs are significant on scales between 2 and 5 Mpc, the scales of groups and filaments. To quantify this, we have introduced for the first time the LSB-HSB Antibias. The obtained LSB-HSB Antibias parameter has a value of 10%-15%. From these results we conclude that LSBs formed in low-density regions of the initial universe and have drifted until now to the outer parts of the filaments and walls of the large-scale structure. Furthermore, our results, together with actual cosmological simulations, show that LSBs are caused by a mixture of nature and nurture.
