摘要:

我们提出了一个星表的4098光度选择的星系团的中值红移<z>= 0.32在270平方度的“条纹82”的区域的斯隆数字巡天(SDSS),覆盖天球赤道南银河帽(-50 &lt; RA &lt; 59度,|Dec| &lt; 1.25度)。由于该区域的多历元SDSS覆盖,ugriz测光比主要SDSS足迹内的单次扫描深约2个星等。我们利用这一点来检测星系团使用的算法,搜索统计上显着overdensities的星系在Voronoi镶嵌的投影天空。32%的星团至少有一个成员的光谱红移来自现有的公开数据(SDSS Data Release 7,2SLAQ &amp; WiggleZ),其余的具有稳健的光度红移(在样本的中值红移处精确到约5-9%)。成员星系红移的加权平均值提供了一个相当准确的星系团红移的估计。集群目录是公开的,可供社区利用,以追求一系列科学目标。除了星团目录,我们还提供了一个18,295 V&lt;21等类星体视线的链接目录,其碰撞参量在&lt;3 Mpc的星团核心内,这些星团核心选自Veron等人(2010)的目录。背景类星体覆盖0.25 &lt; z &lt; 2,其中与团簇相关的MgII吸收线系统在光谱中是可检测的。

英文摘要:

We present a catalogue of 4098 photometrically selected galaxy clusters with a median redshift <z> = 0.32 in the 270 square degree 'Stripe 82' region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), covering the celestial equator in the Southern Galactic Cap (-50 < RA < 59 deg, |Dec| < 1.25 deg). Owing to the multi-epoch SDSS coverage of this region, the ugriz photometry is ~2 magnitudes deeper than single scans within the main SDSS footprint. We exploit this to detect clusters of galaxies using an algorithm that searches for statistically significant overdensities of galaxies in a Voronoi tessellation of the projected sky. 32% of the clusters have at least one member with a spectroscopic redshift from existing public data (SDSS Data Release 7, 2SLAQ & WiggleZ), and the remainder have a robust photometric redshift (accurate to ~5-9% at the median redshift of the sample). The weighted average of the member galaxies' redshifts provides a reasonably accurate estimate of the cluster redshift. The cluster catalogue is publicly available for exploitation by the community to pursue a range of science objectives. In addition to the cluster catalogue, we provide a linked catalogue of 18,295 V<21 mag quasar sight-lines with impact parameters within <3 Mpc of the cluster cores selected from the catalogue of Veron et al. (2010). The background quasars cover 0.25 < z < 2, where MgII absorption-line systems associated with the clusters are detectable in optical spectra.
