摘要:

我们通过MAGELLAN-MIKE和GEMINI-GMOS谱证实了在Antlia星系团中心区域存在两个致密椭圆星系。在100 Mpc的距离内,目前已知的这种罕见类型的星系只有大约12个。有了这个发现,Antlia成为最近的星系团,在它的星系群中拥有一个以上的cE星系。其中一个星系显示出与一个巨大的椭圆星系相互作用的证据,椭圆星系主导着星系团的中心区域。

英文摘要:

We confirm the existence of two compact elliptical (cE) galaxies in the central region of the Antlia cluster through MAGELLAN-MIKE and GEMINI-GMOS spectra. Only about a dozen galaxies of this rare type are known today up to a distance of 100 Mpc. With this finding, Antlia becomes the nearest galaxy cluster harbouring more than one cE galaxy among its galaxy population. One of these galaxies shows evidence of interaction with one of the giant ellipticals that dominate the central region of the cluster.
