星系相互作用II:高密度环境

Galaxy interactions II: High density environments

Sol Alonso, Valeria Mesa, Nelson Padilla, Diego G. Lambas

摘要:

为了评估密集环境在星系相互作用中的作用,我们对从斯隆数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS-DR7)中获得的组和集群中的近距离星系对进行了分析。我们通过将总星系对目录与Zapata等人(2009)的SDSS-DR7群目录进行交叉相关来识别居住在群体中的对。我们根据相互作用的强度对成对星系进行分类。我们分析了高密度环境对不同类型的星系-星系相互作用的影响,并研究了星系群全球环境对星系对的影响。我们发现,相对于其他星系群成员,星系对更集中于星系群中心,而扰动对则倾向于包含星系群中最亮的星系。颜色-星等关系表现出显着的差异对星系和控制样本,在合并系统的颜色尾巴与一个明确的过量的极端蓝色和红色的星系。此外,对星系显示出显着过剩的年轻恒星星族相对于控制样本中的星系,这一发现表明,在稠密的环境中,强相互作用产生重要的影响,在修改星系的属性。我们发现,恒星形成的星系的分数减少向组中心,然而,星系对显示出更有效的恒星形成活动比没有一个亲密的同伴星系。我们还发现,相对于相应的控制样本的星系,对星系更喜欢低密度的全球环境的群体。蓝色、年轻的恒星星族星系喜欢在低密度的全球环境中的群体。

英文摘要:

With the aim to assess the role of dense environments in galaxy interactions, properties we present an analysis of close galaxy pairs in groups and clusters, obtained from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS-DR7). We identified pairs that reside in groups by cross-correlating the total galaxy pair catalogue with the SDSS-DR7 group catalogue from Zapata et al. (2009). We classify pair galaxies according to the intensity of interaction. We analysed the effect of high density environments on different classes of galaxy-galaxy interactions and we have also studied the impact of the group global environment on pair galaxies. We find that galaxy pairs are more concentrated towards the group centres with respect to the other group galaxy members, and disturbed pairs show a preference to contain the brightest galaxy in the groups. The color-magnitude relation exhibits significant differences between pair galaxies and the control sample, consisting in color tails with a clear excess of extremely blue and red galaxies for merging systems. In addition, pair galaxies show a significant excess of young stellar populations with respect to galaxies in the control sample; this finding suggests that, in dense environments, strong interactions produce an important effect in modifying galaxy properties. We find that the fraction of star forming galaxies decreases toward the group centre; however, galaxy pairs show a more efficient star formation activity than galaxies without a close companion. We have also found that pair galaxies prefer groups with low density global environments with respect to galaxies of the corresponding control sample. Blue, young stellar population galaxies prefer groups within low density global environments.
