星系团中的漫射光

Diffuse Light in Galaxy Clusters

Magda Arnaboldi, Ortwin Gerhard

摘要:

现在已经在附近和中等红移的星系团中观测到了弥散的团内光(ICL)。在室女座星团和后发座星团中探测到了单个的星团内恒星,并获得了第一个色星等图和速度测量值。最近的研究表明,ICL占星团中恒星质量的10%,甚至可能高达30%,但在一些密集和丰富的星团如后发座的核心,局部ICL分数可高达40%-50%。从ICL中我们能学到什么关于星系团的形成和星系团的演化?ICL是如何以及何时形成的?它与中央最亮的星系团有什么联系?宇宙学N体和流体动力学模拟开始对ICL的运动学和起源做出预测。ICL追踪了稠密环境中重子结构的演化,因此可以用来限制宇宙学模拟中最不确定的一些方面,例如恒星形成的建模和星系中重子成分的质量分布。

英文摘要:

Diffuse intracluster light (ICL) has now been observed in nearby and in intermediate redshift clusters. Individual intracluster stars have been detected in the Virgo and Coma clusters and the first color-magnitude diagram and velocity measurements have been obtained. Recent studies show that the ICL contains of the order of 10% and perhaps up to 30% of the stellar mass in the cluster, but in the cores of some dense and rich clusters like Coma, the local ICL fraction can be high as 40%-50%. What can we learn from the ICL about the formation of galaxy clusters and the evolution of cluster galaxies? How and when did the ICL form? What is the connection to the central brightest cluster galaxy? Cosmological N-body and hydrodynamical simulations are beginning to make predictions for the kinematics and origin of the ICL. The ICL traces the evolution of baryonic substructures in dense environments and can thus be used to constrain some aspects of cosmological simulations that are most uncertain, such as the modeling of star formation and the mass distribution of the baryonic component in galaxies.
