摘要:

利用北京-亚利桑那-台湾-康涅狄格(BATC)系统的15个中带滤光片和Sloan数字巡天(SDSS)资料,对邻近的星系团Abell 0671(A671)进行了光度和光谱研究。光度红移技术被应用到星系样本的进一步成员确定。在考虑了色-星等关系后,选取了97个亮度大于19.5等的星系作为新成员星系。在扩大的星系团样本的基础上,研究了A671的空间分布和动力学。A671的亮成员样本很好地显示了它的子结构,但基于放大的样本,它似乎不太重要,这主要是由于新选择的暗成员的视光速度的不确定性较大。A671的SDSS r波段光度函数在微弱的星等上是平坦的,微弱的末端斜率参数α =-1.12。SDSS光谱使我们能够研究明亮的星系团星系的恒星形成历史,并且发现核心区域的星系比外围的星系更古老。早型星系(ETGs)的金属丰度没有发现环境效应。年龄和恒星质量之间的正相关性支持缩小的假设。通过比较ETG吸收线指数和现有的恒星星族模型,我们得到了简单恒星星族的相关参数(年龄、[Fe/H]、[Mg/Fe]、[C/Fe]、[N/Fe]和[Ca/Fe])。在集群中心的ETG往往有较小的hb指数,表明中心的ETG可能是旧的。总金属丰度指标[MgFe]的分布没有显示出任何环境效应。A671的简单恒星星族参数与速度色散之间的关系与前人的研究结果一致。

英文摘要:

In this paper we present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 0671 (A671) with 15 intermediate-band filters in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data. The photometric redshift technique is applied to the galaxy sample for further membership determination. After the color-magnitude relation is taken into account, 97 galaxies brighter than h_batc=19.5 mag are selected as new member galaxies. Based on the enlarged sample of cluster galaxies, spatial distribution, dynamics of A671 are investigated. The substructures of A671 are well shown by the sample of bright members, but it appears less significant based on the enlarged sample, which is mainly due to larger uncertainties in the light-of-sight velocities of the newly-selected faint members. The SDSS r-band luminosity function of A671 is flat at faint magnitudes, with the faint end slope parameter alpha=-1.12. The SDSS spectra allow us to investigate the star formation history of bright cluster galaxies, and the galaxies in the core region are found to be older than those in the outskirts. No environmental effect is found for metallicities of the early-type galaxies (ETGs). The positive correlation between age and stellar mass supports the downsizing scenario. By comparing ETG absorption-line indices with the state-of-art stellar population models, we derive the relevant parameters of simple stellar population (such as age, [Fe/H], [Mg/Fe], [C/Fe], [N/Fe], and [Ca/Fe]). The ETGs at cluster center tend to have smaller hb indices, indicating that central ETGs are likely to be older. The distribution of total metallicity indicator, [MgFe]', does not show any environmental effects. The relations between the simple stellar population parameters and velocity dispersion in A671 are in good agreement with previous studies.
