摘要:

我们报告的多波段分析的质量和光度的$\sim$ 600星系群和集群中确定的maxBCG目录的结果。这些数据旨在为今后研究星系群和星系团中“$m_{12}$间隙”的形成奠定基础。我们利用SDSS光谱和$g$、$r$和$i$波段光度计估算星系群/星系团的维里半径、质量和总光度。为了建立我们的结果的鲁棒性,我们将它们与文献研究进行比较,利用各种质量测定技术(动态,X射线,弱透镜)和总光度估计的$B$,$r$,$i$,和$K$波段。我们还比较了我们的结果来自千年模拟的预测。我们发现,一旦选择效应得到适当的解释,我们的结果和文献之间存在着极好的一致性,除了一个单一的观察性研究。我们还发现,千年模拟做了很好的预测我们的选择标准的影响。我们的研究结果表明,在质量范围$\sim10^{13}-10^{15}$ M $_{\odot}$,在这个和许多其他文献研究中检测到的质量的质量-光度标度关系的斜率的变化部分是选择效应的结果。我们表明,这可能会产生严重的后果,试图确定星系群和星系团的质光比如何随质量而变化。

英文摘要:

We report the results of a multi-waveband analysis of the masses and luminosities of $\sim$600 galaxy groups and clusters identified in the maxBCG catalogue. These data are intended to form the basis of future work on the formation of the "$m_{12}$ gap" in galaxy groups and clusters. We use SDSS spectroscopy and $g$, $r$ and $i$ band photometry to estimate galaxy group/cluster virial radii, masses and total luminosities. In order to establish the robustness of our results, we compare them with literature studies that utilize a variety of mass determinations techniques (dynamical, X-ray, weak lensing) and total luminosities estimated in the $B$, $r$, $i$, and $K$ wavebands. We also compare our results to predictions derived from the Millennium Simulation. We find that, once selection effects are properly accounted for, excellent agreement exists between our results and the literature with the exception of a single observational study. We also find that the Millennium Simulation does an excellent job of predicting the effects of our selection criteria. Our results show that, over the mass range $\sim10^{13}-10^{15}$ M$_{\odot}$, variations in the slope of the mass-luminosity scaling relation with mass detected in this and many other literature studies is in part the result of selection effects. We show that this can have serious ramifications on attempts to determine how the mass-to-light ratio of galaxy groups and cluster varies with mass.
