最远的紧凑型群体

The most distant compact groups

C. M. Gutierrez

摘要:

我们目前的测光和光谱观测的成员先前编目的紧凑组(CG)的候选人在红移z>0.3。这些确认光谱红移与引力束缚结构相容,分别为0.3112、0.3848和0.3643,然后它们是已知的光谱确认所有成员的最遥远的CG。它们所有星系的形态和光谱特性都表明,早期类型的星系主要由古老的恒星群组成,几乎没有恒星形成或核活动。在较低的红移下,这三个群的大部分物理性质与CG的平均性质非常相似。特别是,从每个CG的各个成员的速度和位置,我们估计短的动态时间。这就留下了一个问题,即确定连续形成CG的机制以及这些结构的最后阶段的性质。

英文摘要:

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of the members of three previously cataloged compact group (CG) candidates at redshifts z>0.3. These confirm spectroscopic redshifts compatible with being gravitationally bound structures at redshifts 0.3112, 0.3848 and 0.3643 respectively, and then they are the most distant CGs known with spectroscopic confirmation for all their members. The morphological and spectroscopic properties of all their galaxies indicate early types dominated by an old population of stars, with little star formation or nuclear activity. Most of the physical properties derived for the three groups are quite similar to the average properties of CGs at lower redshifts. In particular, from the velocities and positions of the respective members of each CG, we estimate short dynamic times. These leave open the questions of identifying the mechanism for forming CGs continuously and the nature of the final stages of these structures.
