星系团和星系群的恒星质量分数和重子含量

The stellar mass fraction and baryon content of galaxy clusters and groups

S. Andreon

摘要:

[摘要]对52个星团样本的分析表明,低质量的星团和星团在恒星含量方面并不是它们的大质量表亲的简单缩小版本:较轻的星团每单位星团质量有更多的恒星。同样的分析也显示,星团和星团群的恒星含量在给定的星团质量下表现出内在的扩散,即星团在它们所包含的恒星数量上彼此不相似,即使在固定的星团质量下也是如此。恒星的质量分数取决于晕质量,(对数)斜率为-0.55+/-0.08,在固定的星团质量下,内禀散射的dex为0.15+/-0.02。我们确定的气体质量分数在一个固定的集群质量的内在散射较小,0.06+/-0.01德克斯。恒星和气体质量分数的内禀散射是一个独特的特征,表明星系团和星系团收集物质的区域(几十Mpc)在气体和重子含量方面还不能代表宇宙的平均物质含量。观察到的恒星质量分数值与气体动力学模拟冷却和恒星形成的集群和集团显着不一致。我们发现,对于13.7<lg(质量)<15.0太阳质量的星系团和星系群,重子(气体+恒星)分数是相当恒定的,它与WMAP导出的值相差约6 sigma。这种偏移可能与我们对内禀散射的测量所指出的重子分数可能的非普适性有关。我们的分析是第一个不假设集群在给定的晕质量是相同的,它也是更准确的在许多方面。随机计算所用的数据和代码随文件分发。

英文摘要:

[Abridged] The analysis of a sample of 52 clusters with precise and hypothesis-parsimonious measurements of mass shows that low mass clusters and groups are not simple scaled-down versions of their massive cousins in terms of stellar content: lighter clusters have more stars per unit cluster mass. The same analysis also shows that the stellar content of clusters and groups displays an intrinsic spread at a given cluster mass, i.e. clusters are not similar each other in the amount of stars they contain, not even at a fixed cluster mass. The stellar mass fraction depends on halo mass with (logarithmic) slope -0.55+/-0.08 and with 0.15+/-0.02 dex of intrinsic scatter at a fixed cluster mass. The intrinsic scatter at a fixed cluster mass we determine for gas mass fractions is smaller, 0.06+/-0.01 dex. The intrinsic scatter in both the stellar and gas mass fractions is a distinctive signature that the regions from which clusters and groups collected matter, a few tens of Mpc, are yet not representative, in terms of gas and baryon content, of the mean matter content of the Universe. The observed stellar mass fraction values are in marked disagreement with gasdynamics simulations with cooling and star formation of clusters and groups. We found the the baryon (gas+stellar) fraction is fairly constant for clusters and groups with 13.7<lg(mass)<15.0 solar masses and it is offset from the WMAP-derived value by about 6 sigmas. The offset could be related to the possible non universality of the baryon fraction pointed out by our measurements of the intrinsic scatter. Our analysis is the first that does not assume that clusters are identically equal at a given halo mass and it is also more accurate in many aspects. The data and code used for the stochastic computation are distributed with the paper.
