2 MASS星系团的结构

The Structure of 2MASS Galaxy Clusters

Jeffrey A. Blackburne, Christopher S. Kochanek

摘要:

我们使用一个样本的星系从两微米全天巡天(2 MASS)扩展源目录,以完善匹配滤波器的方法来寻找星系团,考虑到每个星系的位置,幅度和红移,如果可用的。匹配滤波器假设了星系团的径向密度分布、光度函数和视线速度分布。我们使用这种方法来搜索星系目录中的星系团,这是完整的,以13.25的消隐校正的K带星等,并有光谱红移约40%的星系,包括几乎所有的亮度比K = 11.25。然后,我们使用堆叠分析,以确定平均光度函数,径向分布,并在几个丰富的类星系团的速度分布,并使用的结果来更新匹配滤波器的参数之前,重复集群搜索。我们还研究了集群的丰富度和它的速度色散和核心半径之间的相关性,使用这些关系来完善在集群搜索过程中应用的先验。在第二次聚类搜索迭代之后,我们重复堆叠分析。我们发现一个符合Schechter形式的星系团光度函数,其参数M_K* - 5 log h = -23.64 \pm 0.04,α= -1.07 \pm 0.03。我们可以通过在亮端添加高斯分量来表示最亮的星团星系(BCG)种群来实现对光度函数的稍微更好的拟合。星系的径向数密度分布在中等半径处与Navarro-Frenk-White(NFW)投影分布非常匹配,在小半径处由于众所周知的星系团中心问题而存在偏差,并且由于相关结构而超出维里半径。速度分布呈高斯型,速度分散度与丰度密切相关。

英文摘要:

We use a sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Extended Source Catalog to refine a matched filter method of finding galaxy clusters that takes into account each galaxy's position, magnitude, and redshift if available. The matched filter postulates a radial density profile, luminosity function, and line-of-sight velocity distribution for cluster galaxies. We use this method to search for clusters in the galaxy catalog, which is complete to an extinction-corrected K-band magnitude of 13.25 and has spectroscopic redshifts for roughly 40% of the galaxies, including nearly all brighter than K = 11.25. We then use a stacking analysis to determine the average luminosity function, radial distribution, and velocity distribution of cluster galaxies in several richness classes, and use the results to update the parameters of the matched filter before repeating the cluster search. We also investigate the correlations between a cluster's richness and its velocity dispersion and core radius, using these relations to refine priors that are applied during the cluster search process. After the second cluster search iteration, we repeat the stacking analysis. We find a cluster galaxy luminosity function that fits a Schechter form, with parameters M_K* - 5 log h = -23.64\pm0.04 and α= -1.07\pm0.03. We can achieve a slightly better fit to our luminosity function by adding a Gaussian component on the bright end to represent the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) population. The radial number density profile of galaxies closely matches a projected Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile at intermediate radii, with deviations at small radii due to well-known cluster centering issues and outside the virial radius due to correlated structure. The velocity distributions are Gaussian in shape, with velocity dispersions that correlate strongly with richness.
