摘要:

本文详细分析了XMMU J1229+0151中红色序列的星系性质,该星系团是由HAWK-I星系团巡天(HCS)在$z=0.98$观测到的X射线选择星系团。利用广泛的光度覆盖范围和可用性的77光谱在集群领域,我们适合合成光谱能量分布,估计恒星质量和光度红移,我们用来确定集群成员。我们调查的红色序列星系的形态和结构特性,并发现椭圆星系填充的亮端,而S 0星系代表的主要人口在中间的光度,与他们的分数在较暗的幅度下降。与WINGS星系团巡天的低红移样本比较显示,在$z\sim1$,XMMU J1229+0151红色序列的亮端更富含S 0星系。XMMUJ 1229 +0151红色序列的暗端似乎富含盘控星系,这在相同光度的低红移比较样本中更为罕见。尽管XMMUJ 1229 +0151和低红移样本中红色序列的形态组成之间存在这些差异,但我们发现,在不确定性范围内,沿着红色序列的发光星系与暗淡星系的比例不存在这种差异。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a detailed analysis of galaxy properties along the red sequence in XMMU J1229+0151, an X-ray selected cluster at $z=0.98$ drawn from the HAWK-I Cluster Survey (HCS). Taking advantage of the broad photometric coverage and the availability of 77 spectra in the cluster field, we fit synthetic spectral energy distributions, and estimate stellar masses and photometric redshifts, which we use to determine the cluster membership. We investigate morphological and structural properties of red sequence galaxies and find that elliptical galaxies populate the bright end, while S0 galaxies represent the predominant population at intermediate luminosities, with their fraction decreasing at fainter magnitudes. A comparison with the low-redshift sample of the WINGS cluster survey reveals that at $z\sim1$ the bright end of the red sequence of XMMU J1229+0151 is richer in S0 galaxies. The faint end of the red sequence in XMMUJ1229+0151 appears rich in disc-dominated galaxies, which are rarer in the low redshift comparison sample at the same luminosities. Despite these differences between the morphological composition of the red sequence in XMMUJ1229+0151 and in low redshift samples, we find that to within the uncertainties, no such difference exists in the ratio of luminous to faint galaxies along the red sequence.
