星系群合并的基本平面

The Fundamental Plane of Galaxy Group Mergers

Dan Taranu, John Dubinski, Howard Yee

摘要:

我们提出了一系列的数百个星系团合并的无碰撞模拟。这些模拟旨在测试椭圆星系的属性-包括关键的基本平面尺度关系,形态和运动学-是否可以通过星系群中的干多合并同时再现。初步结果显示,星系群合并可以产生椭圆形的残余物,即使没有来自星暴的中心耗散成分。这意味着,星系群中的多次合并是形成椭圆星系的另一种途径,而椭圆星系很可能是发光椭圆星系的主要来源。

英文摘要:

We present a series of hundreds of collisionless simulations of galaxy group mergers. These simulations are designed to test whether the properties of elliptical galaxies - including the key fundamental plane scaling relation, morphology and kinematics - can be simultaneously reproduced by dry multiple mergers in galaxy groups. Preliminary results indicate that galaxy group mergers can produce elliptical remnants lying on a tilted fundamental plane, even without a central dissipational component from a starburst. This suggests that multiple mergers in groups are an alternate avenue for the formation of elliptical galaxies which could well dominate for luminous ellipticals.
