摘要:

我们提出的建设和描述的帕多瓦千年星系和群目录(PM2 GC),在当地宇宙的一般领域人口的星系目录代表的属性。我们使用来自千禧星系表(MGC,Liske et al.(2003))的3210个亮度大于MB = -18.7的星系的完整样本,通过使用友伴算法(FoF)识别0.04<=z<=0.1的星系群来表征星系环境,千禧星系表是一项38度^2的光度和光谱赤道巡天。我们确定了176个至少有三个成员的星系群,总共包括1057个星系,占该红移范围内一般场人口的43%。我们的星系群的平均红移和速度色散分别为0.0823和192 km·s^-1。88%的小组成员少于10人,63%的小组成员少于5人。非星系群的星系被细分为两个明亮的近伴星系的“混合”系统,以及没有伴星系的“单一”星系,以确定对未来科学分析有用的不同环境。我们进行了详细的比较与2 PIGG目录,以验证我们的方法的有效性和我们的结果的鲁棒性。银河系恒星质量计算所有PM2 GC星系,并发现在良好的协议与斯隆数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS-DR 7)的质量估计。PM2 GC群的目录、群属性和所有环境中的星系属性都可以在万维网上公开获得。

英文摘要:

We present the construction and describe the properties of the Padova-Millennium Galaxy and Group Catalogue (PM2GC), a galaxy catalogue representative of the general field population in the local Universe. We characterize galaxy environments by identifying galaxy groups at 0.04<=z<=0.1 with a Friends-of-Friends (FoF) algorithm using a complete sample of 3210 galaxies brighter than MB = -18.7 taken from the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC, Liske et al. (2003)), a 38deg^2 photometric and spectroscopic equatorial survey. We identified 176 groups with at least three members, comprising in total 1057 galaxies and representing ~43 per cent of the general field population in that redshift range. The median redshift and velocity dispersion of our groups are 0.0823 and 192 km s^-1, respectively. 88 per cent of the groups have fewer than ten members, and 63 per cent have fewer than five members. Nongroup galaxies were subdivided into "inary" systems of two bright close companions, and "single" galaxies with no companion, in order to identify different environments useful for future scientific analysis. We performed a detailed comparison with the 2PIGG catalogue to validate the effectiveness of our method and the robustness of our results. Galaxy stellar masses are computed for all PM2GC galaxies, and found to be in good agreement with Sloan Digital Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS-DR7) mass estimates. The catalogues of PM2GC groups, group properties and galaxy properties in all environments are publicly available on theWorld Wide Web.
