摘要:

我们将2dF和EFOSC 2光谱仪的多目标光谱与ESO宽视场成像仪拍摄的A2384内部30'x30'的光学成像相结合。我们进行了运动学分析,使用EMMIX算法和双权统计。我们解决可能存在的集群子结构与Dressler-Shectman测试。研究了团星系的[OII]和Hα等效宽度.我们的光学成像观测所涵盖的星系还分析了颜色,恒星形成率和形态描述符,如基尼系数和M20指数。我们研究了星系团的性质作为一个函数的团心距离和调查的颜色星等和物理空间中的各种星系类型的分布。Dressler-Shectman检验揭示了2dF视场东部的子结构。我们确定南北子星系团的质量比为1.6:1。根据其他星系团的研究,我们发现,大部分的盘星系靠近星系团的核心没有检测到恒星的形成。可能这些系统由于冲压压力汽提而被淬火。猝灭盘的样本填充了颜色-星等空间中蓝色云和红色序列之间的过渡区域。我们还发现了人口的形态扭曲星系的星系团中心区域。A2384东部的亚结构可能是一群落入主星系团的星系。我们推测,我们的淬火螺旋样本代表了一个中间阶段的冲压压力驱动的转变,落场螺旋成集群S 0 s。这是由它们在颜色幅度空间中的位置引起的。星系团核心中形态畸变星系的出现符合A2384代表合并后星系的假设。

英文摘要:

We combine multi-object spectroscopy from the 2dF and EFOSC2 spectrographs with optical imaging of the inner 30'x30' of A2384 taken with the ESO Wide Field Imager. We carry out a kinematical analysis using the EMMIX algorithm and biweight statistics. We address the possible presence of cluster substructures with the Dressler-Shectman test. Cluster galaxies are investigated with respect to [OII] and Hα equivalent width. Galaxies covered by our optical imaging observations are additionally analysed in terms of colour, star formation rate and morphological descriptors such as Gini coefficient and M20 index. We study cluster galaxy properties as a function of clustercentric distance and investigate the distribution of various galaxy types in colour-magnitude and physical space. The Dressler-Shectman test reveals a substructure in the east of the 2dF field-of-view. We determine the mass ratio between the northern and southern subcluster to be 1.6:1. In accordance with other cluster studies, we find that a large fraction of the disk galaxies close to the cluster core show no detectable star formation. Probably these are systems which are quenched due to ram-pressure stripping. The sample of quenched disks populates the transition area between the blue cloud and the red sequence in colour-magnitude space. We also find a population of morphologically distorted galaxies in the central cluster region. The substructure in the east of A2384 might be a group of galaxies falling onto the main cluster. We speculate that our sample of quenched spirals represents an intermediate phase in the ram-pressure driven transformation of infalling field spirals into cluster S0s. This is motivated by their position in colour-magnitude space. The occurrence of morphologically distorted galaxies in the cluster core complies with the hypothesis of A2384 representing a post merger system.
