室女星系团和场在S0盘轮廓中的强二分法

A Strong Dichotomy in S0 Disk Profiles Between the Virgo Cluster and the Field

Peter Erwin, Leonel Gutierrez, John E. Beckman

摘要:

我们报告的证据在本地领域和室女星系团的S 0星系之间的显着差异。虽然场S 0星系的盘表面亮度轮廓大致平均分为三种主要类型(类型I,II和III:单指数,截断和反截断),室女座S 0似乎完全缺乏盘截断。更具体地说,在M_B < -17的S 0星系中,磁场的截断分数为28%+7/-6%,而室女星系团的截断分数为0%+4/-0%,差异在99.7%的水平上是显著的。这种差异几乎完全是由I型分布造成的,I型分布在室女星系团中的频率几乎是它们在野外的两倍。这表明,S 0的形成可能是由不同的过程中的集群和领域的环境,外盘效应可以是有用的测试S 0的形成模型。

英文摘要:

We report evidence for a striking difference between S0 galaxies in the local field and in the Virgo Cluster. While field S0 galaxies have disks whose surface-brightness profiles are roughly equally divided between the three main types (Types I, II, and III: single-exponential, truncated, and antitruncated), Virgo S0s appear to be entirely lacking in disk truncations. More specifically, the fraction of truncations in S0 galaxies with M_B < -17 is 28% +7/-6% for the field, versus 0% +4/-0% for the Virgo Cluster galaxies; the difference is significant at the 99.7% level. The discrepancy is made up almost entirely by Type I profiles, which are almost twice as frequent in the Virgo Cluster as they are in the field. This suggests that S0 formation may be driven by different processes in cluster and field environments, and that outer-disk effects can be useful tests of S0 formation models.
