SDSS中Galerkin的卫星光度函数

The Satellite Luminosity Functions of Galaxies in SDSS

Quan Guo, Shaun Cole, Vincent Eke, Carlos Frenk

摘要:

利用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)的光谱和光度星系样本,研究了孤立主星周围卫星星系的光度函数。我们从光谱样本中选择孤立的原色,并在更深的光度样本中寻找潜在的卫星。对于类似于银河系和M31光度的原色,我们能够堆叠多达$\sim\negthinspace 20,000$星系系统,以获得可靠的统计结果。我们推导出卫星的光度函数,比主星系暗近8个星等。我们还确定了卫星的光度函数如何随光度,颜色和浓度的主要变化。我们发现,平均而言,与银河系和M31的光度相当的孤立的原色包含比$M_V=-14$亮的卫星比银河系和M31的平均值少两倍。

英文摘要:

We study the luminosity function of satellite galaxies around isolated primaries using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic and photometric galaxy samples. We select isolated primaries from the spectroscopic sample and search for potential satellites in the much deeper photometric sample. For primaries of similar luminosity to the Milky Way and M31, we are able to stack as many as $\sim\negthinspace 20,000$ galaxy systems to obtain robust statistical results. We derive the satellite luminosity function extending almost 8 magnitudes fainter than the primary galaxy. We also determine how the satellite luminosity function varies with the luminosity, colour and concentration of the primary. We find that, in the mean, isolated primaries of comparable luminosity to the Milky Way and M31 contain about a factor of two fewer satellites brighter than $M_V=-14$ than the average of the Milky Way and M31.
