摘要:

我们基于完成的zCOSMOS明亮巡天中的16,500个高质量光谱红移,提出了一个0.1 < z < 1之间的光学群目录。该星表共包含1498个星群,其中192个星群的观测成员超过5个。星表包括星系群的性质和成员星系的识别。根据模拟星表,相对于所有在调查中应该检测到的群,具有三个或更多成员的群的完整性和纯度都应该是大约83%,并且超过75%的群应该表现出与“真实”群的一一对应。特别是在高红移,显然有更多的星系群中的COSMOS领域比预期的模拟目录。我们发现了过去70亿年来宇宙结构增长的明确证据,在这个意义上说,在群体中发现的星系的比例(在体积有限的样本中)随着宇宙时间的增加而显着增加。在本文的第二部分,我们开发了一种方法,关联星系,只有我们的光谱识别组的photo-z。我们表明,这导致改进的定义的组中心,改进识别的最大质量的星系中的团体,并改进识别的中央和卫星星系,在那里我们定义前者是星系的引力势阱的最小值。星系群中的中心星系和卫星星系的子样本可以定义为纯度高达80%,而将所有星系群和非星系群的星系直接分类为中心星系和卫星星系的光谱样本的纯度分别为85%和75%。

英文摘要:

We present an optical group catalog between 0.1 < z < 1 based on 16,500 high-quality spectroscopic redshifts in the completed zCOSMOS-bright survey. The catalog published herein contains 1498 groups in total and 192 groups with more than five observed members. The catalog includes both group properties and the identification of the member galaxies. Based on mock catalogs, the completeness and purity of groups with three and more members should be both about 83% with respect to all groups that should have been detectable within the survey, and more than 75% of the groups should exhibit a one-to-one correspondence to the "real" groups. Particularly at high redshift, there are apparently more galaxies in groups in the COSMOS field than expected from mock catalogs. We detect clear evidence for the growth of cosmic structure over the last seven billion years in the sense that the fraction of galaxies that are found in groups (in volume-limited samples) increases significantly with cosmic time. In the second part of the paper, we develop a method for associating galaxies that only have photo-z to our spectroscopically identified groups. We show that this leads to improved definition of group centers, improved identification of the most massive galaxies in the groups, and improved identification of central and satellite galaxies, where we define the former to be galaxies at the minimum of the gravitational potential wells. Subsamples of centrals and satellites in the groups can be defined with purities up to 80%, while a straight binary classification of all group and non-group galaxies into centrals and satellites achieves purities of 85% and 75%, respectively, for the spectroscopic sample.
