Distribution and evolution of galaxy groups in the Ursa Major supercluster

Marcelo Krause, Andre Ribeiro, Paulo Lopes

摘要:

我们研究的SDSS样本的星系在50 Mpc的大熊座超星系团的名义中心。我们的目的是研究星系群周围的超星系团的分布和放松和非放松的星系系统的分布相对于超星系团环境之间的联系。使用FoF算法,在该区域确定了40个星系群。我们根据成员星系的正态性和子结构检验结果对系统进行了分类。然后,我们研究了弛豫和非弛豫系统在超星系团中的相对分布。我们发现,68%的星系群是高斯和所有的非高斯系统的子结构,并可能对应于红移空间中的多模态系统。我们还发现,高斯系统居住在超星系团的密度较高的区域,在2.5兆秒差距内的红色和蓝色星系的密度较高,并有较小的组群成对分离。我们的研究结果表明,空间分离的动力学状态,放松的系统可能已经形成和发展更早,更快地围绕高密度的峰值,而非放松的系统可能会增长较慢的外围密度较低的峰值。在这张图片中,星系团似乎正在促使超星系团内部持续演化,几个星系团坍缩到更进化和收缩的区域。

英文摘要:

We study an SDSS sample of galaxies within 50 Mpc of the nominal center of the Ursa Major supercluster. Our aim is to study galaxy distribution around groups in the supercluster and the link between the distribution of relaxed and nonrelaxed galaxy systems with respect to the supercluster environment. Using the FoF algorithm, 40 galaxy groups were identified in this region. We classified the systems according to the results of normality and substructure tests applied to member galaxies. Then, we studied the relative distribution of relaxed and nonrelaxed systems across the supercluster. We find that 68% of galaxy groups are Gaussian and that all the non-Gaussian systems have substructures and probably correspond to multimodal systems in redshift space. We also find that the Gaussian systems inhabit the denser regions of the supercluster, with higher densities of both red and blue galaxies within 2.5 Mpc, and have smaller group-group pairwise separations. Our results suggest a spatial segregation of dynamical states, where relaxed systems may have formed and evolved earlier and faster around high-density peaks, while nonrelaxed systems may be growing slower on the peripheries of lower density peaks. In this picture, galaxy clustering seems to be prompting a continuous internal evolution in the supercluster, with several groups collapsing into the more evolved and contracted regions.
