摘要:

星系群和星系团中存在的亚结构被认为是最近星系吸积的标志,不仅可以用来探测这些结构的组装历史,还可以用来探测它们的成员星系的演化。利用Dressler-Shectman(DS)检验,研究了来自GEEC星表中的一个中等红移(z ~ 0.4)星系群的亚结构。我们发现,4的15个丰富的GEEC组,具有平均速度的分散度为~525 km s-1,被确定为具有显着的子结构。已确定的区域的本地化的子结构位于组的郊区,在某些情况下,似乎是下降。在星系属性的比较组的成员和没有子结构,我们发现,具有子结构的组有一个显着较高的比例的蓝色和恒星形成的星系和一个父色分布,类似于该领域的人口,而不是整体群体人口。此外,我们观察到的检测子结构和其他动态措施,如速度分布和速度色散曲线之间的相关性。基于这一分析,我们得出结论,一些星系群包含显着的子结构,这些群体的属性和星系的人口,没有检测到的子结构的群体不同。这些结果表明,子结构星系,这是优先在集团的外围,并可能是下降,不表现出环境影响的迹象,因为很少或根本没有恒星形成淬火在这些系统中观察到。

英文摘要:

The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used not only to probe the assembly history of these structures, but also the evolution of their member galaxies. Using the Dressler-Shectman (DS) Test, we study substructure in a sample of intermediate redshift (z ~ 0.4) galaxy groups from the Group Environment and Evolution Collaboration (GEEC) group catalog. We find that 4 of the 15 rich GEEC groups, with an average velocity dispersion of ~525 km s-1, are identified as having significant substructure. The identified regions of localized substructure lie on the group outskirts and in some cases appear to be infalling. In a comparison of galaxy properties for the members of groups with and without substructure, we find that the groups with substructure have a significantly higher fraction of blue and star-forming galaxies and a parent colour distribution that resembles that of the field population rather than the overall group population. In addition, we observe correlations between the detection of substructure and other dynamical measures, such as velocity distributions and velocity dispersion profiles. Based on this analysis, we conclude that some galaxy groups contain significant substructure and that these groups have properties and galaxy populations that differ from groups with no detected substructure. These results indicate that the substructure galaxies, which lie preferentially on the group outskirts and could be infalling, do not exhibit signs of environmental effects, since little or no star-formation quenching is observed in these systems.
