摘要:

我们对沙普利超星系团(SSC; z~0.05)的多波长巡天进行了概述,它覆盖了包括超星系团核心在内的260 h^-2_70 Mpc ^2的连续区域。该项目的主要目的是量化集群规模的质量组装对星系演化的影响,在本地宇宙中最大的结构之一。Shapley超星系团巡天(ShaSS)包括9个Abell星系团(A3552、A3554、A3556、A3558、A3559、A3560、A3562、AS 0724、AS 0726)和2个较差星系团(SC 1327 - 312、SC 1329 -313),显示出星系团间相互作用的证据。VST和VISTA获得的光学(ugri)和近红外(K)成像使我们能够研究超星系团红移处的星系群。在英澳望远镜上使用AAOmega进行的一次专门的光谱巡天提供了一个在~m*+3处有80%完整性的超星系团成员的星等限制样本。我们得到了整个区域的星系密度,证明了这个区域内的所有结构都嵌入在一个由星系团、星系群和星系丝组成的网络中。SSC核心的恒星质量密度始终高于9 E09 M_sun Mpc^-3,约为本宇宙星系的宇宙恒星质量密度的40倍。我们发现了一个新的星系结构(投影长度约为7 Mpc),将SSC核心与星团A3559连接起来,以及先前未识别的密度峰。我们对巡天的中心1平方度场进行了弱透镜分析,得到了中心星团A3558的质量为M_500=7.63E14 M_sun,与基于X射线的估计一致。

英文摘要:

We present an overview of a multi-wavelength survey of the Shapley supercluster (SSC; z~0.05) covering a contiguous area of 260 h^-2_70 Mpc^2 including the supercluster core. The project main aim is to quantify the influence of cluster-scale mass assembly on galaxy evolution in one of the most massive structures in the local Universe. The Shapley supercluster survey (ShaSS) includes nine Abell clusters (A3552, A3554, A3556, A3558, A3559, A3560, A3562, AS0724, AS0726) and two poor clusters (SC1327- 312, SC1329-313) showing evidence of cluster-cluster interactions. Optical (ugri) and near-infrared (K) imaging acquired with VST and VISTA allow us to study the galaxy population down to m*+6 at the supercluster redshift. A dedicated spectroscopic survey with AAOmega on the Anglo-Australian Telescope provides a magnitude-limited sample of supercluster members with 80% completeness at ~m*+3. We derive the galaxy density across the whole area, demonstrating that all structures within this area are embedded in a single network of clusters, groups and filaments. The stellar mass density in the core of the SSC is always higher than 9E09 M_sun Mpc^-3, which is ~40x the cosmic stellar mass density for galaxies in the local Universe. We find a new filamentary structure (~7 Mpc long in projection) connecting the SSC core to the cluster A3559, as well as previously unidentified density peaks. We perform a weak-lensing analysis of the central 1 sqdeg field of the survey obtaining for the central cluster A3558 a mass of M_500=7.63E14 M_sun, in agreement with X-ray based estimates.
