星系团A98的多色测光:亚结构和恒星形成性质
Multicolor Photometry of the Galaxy Cluster A98: Substructures and Star Formation Properties
摘要:
利用北京-亚利桑那-台湾-康涅狄格(BATC)射电天文观测系统对一个X射线表面亮度有两次大增强的星系团A98(z=0.104)进行了光学光度观测。在$58' \times 58'$场中,得到了V ~ 20等范围内所有源的15个中间波段的能量谱分布。在通过色图分离出恒星-星系之后,对星系样本应用光度红移技术进行进一步的成员确定。色-星等关系是对早型星系团的进一步限定。结果,获得了198个暗成员星系的列表。利用新产生的成员星系样本,详细研究了A98 N、A98 S和A98 W的动力学亚结构。另一个独立的星系群A98 X也被发现在A98的主要聚集区以南,它与A98没有引力约束。对74个已被光谱证实的成员星系,研究了环境对恒星形成历史的影响,发现核心区亮星系的恒星形成时间尺度较短,平均恒星年龄较长,星际介质金属丰度较高,这一现象可以用分级宇宙学的观点加以解释。
英文摘要:
An optical photometric observation with the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) multicolor system is carried out for A98 (z=0.104), a galaxy cluster with two large enhancements in X-ray surface brightness. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) covering 15 intermediate bands are obtained for all sources detected down to V ~ 20 mag in a field of $58' \times 58'$. After the star-galaxy separation by the color-color diagrams, a photometric redshift technique is applied to the galaxy sample for further membership determination. The color-magnitude relation is taken as a further restriction of the early-type cluster galaxies. As a result, a list of 198 faint member galaxies is achieved. Based on newly generated sample of member galaxies, the dynamical substructures, A98N, A98S, and A98W, are investigated in detail. A separate galaxy group, A98X, is also found to the south of main concentration of A98, which is gravitationally unbound to A98. For 74 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies, the environmental effect on the star formation histories is found. The bright galaxies in the core region are found to have shorter time scales of star formation, longer mean stellar ages, and higher metallicities of interstellar medium, which can be interpreted in the context of hierarchical cosmological scenario.
