摘要:

本文研究了从多历元邻近星系团巡天(MENeaCS)和加拿大星系团比较计划(CCCP)中选取的60个0.04<z<0.26的大质量星系团的卫星星系径向数密度和恒星质量密度分布。除了~ 10,000个光谱确认的成员星系外,我们还使用深乌格里波段成像来估计光度红移和恒星质量,然后使用COSMOS调查的数据统计减去前源和背景源。我们测量的星系数密度和恒星质量密度分布在crummically间隔箱超过2个数量级的径向距离的BCGs。对于投影距离在0.1<R/R200<2.0的范围内,我们发现恒星质量分布可以用浓度为c=2.03+/-0.20的NFW轮廓很好地描述。然而,在较小的半径,我们测量的卫星星系的恒星质量约$10^{11}$ Msun每个集群的显着过剩相比,这些NFW配置文件。我们得到很好的适合广义NFW配置文件与自由内斜率,和Einasto配置文件。为了研究星系团如何在宇宙时间内聚集其恒星质量分量,我们将这个局部样本与z~1处的GCLASS星系团样本进行比较,后者代表低z星系团的近似祖星样本。这使得直接比较成为可能,这表明本地星系团中卫星恒星质量分布的中心部分(R<0.4 Mpc)已经在z~1处就位,并且包含足够的多余物质以供BCG进一步生长。在向z=0方向演化的过程中,星系团似乎主要将它们的恒星质量聚集在外围,使它们以一种由内而外的方式生长。

英文摘要:

We study the radial number density and stellar mass density distributions of satellite galaxies in a sample of 60 massive clusters at 0.04<z<0.26 selected from the Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey (MENeaCS) and the Canadian Cluster Comparison Project (CCCP). In addition to ~10,000 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies, we use deep ugri-band imaging to estimate photometric redshifts and stellar masses, and then statistically subtract fore-, and background sources using data from the COSMOS survey. We measure the galaxy number density and stellar mass density distributions in logarithmically spaced bins over 2 orders of magnitude in radial distance from the BCGs. For projected distances in the range 0.1<R/R200<2.0, we find that the stellar mass distribution is well-described by an NFW profile with a concentration of c=2.03+/-0.20. However, at smaller radii we measure a significant excess in the stellar mass in satellite galaxies of about $10^{11}$ Msun per cluster, compared to these NFW profiles. We do obtain good fits to generalized NFW profiles with free inner slopes, and to Einasto profiles. To examine how clusters assemble their stellar mass component over cosmic time, we compare this local sample to the GCLASS cluster sample at z~1, which represents the approximate progenitor sample of the low-z clusters. This allows for a direct comparison, which suggests that the central parts (R<0.4 Mpc) of the stellar mass distributions of satellites in local galaxy clusters are already in place at z~1, and contain sufficient excess material for further BCG growth. Evolving towards z=0, clusters appear to assemble their stellar mass primarily onto the outskirts, making them grow in an inside-out fashion.
