摘要:

为了系统地研究星系团中星系角幅、ICM和暗物质成分的演化,我们利用Sloan数字巡天(SDSS)和{ \it Chandra}/{ \it XMM-Newton}的全部数据,编制了340个红移为$<0.5$的星系团的光学和X射线性质。对于每个星系团,成员星系主要是通过光度红移测量确定的。径向ICM质量分布,以及总的引力质量分布,来自空间分辨的X射线数据的光谱分析。当将星系数量的径向分布归一化为ICM质量时,发现相对曲线显着依赖于星系团的红移;在较低的红移子样本中,它向外部下降得更陡。在星系-总质量分布图中也发现了同样的演化,而ICM-总质量分布图则以相反的方式变化。我们认为星系、ICM和暗物质组分在星系团形成时具有相似的角分布,而在星系团内部运动的星系相对于其他组分不断地向中心坠落,ICM相对于暗物质略有膨胀,尽管它遭受了很强的辐射损失。这种伴随ICM膨胀的宇宙学星系坍缩现象可以解释为星系在穿过ICM时与ICM发生了强烈的相互作用,这种相互作用被认为产生了从成员星系到其周围环境的$10^{44-45}$ erg $\rm s^{-1}$能量流,这种能量流预计将在宇宙学时间尺度上持续下去。

英文摘要:

To study systematically the evolution on the angular extents of the galaxy, ICM, and dark matter components in galaxy clusters, we compiled the optical and X-ray properties of a sample of 340 clusters with redshifts $<0.5$, based on all the available data with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and {\it Chandra}/{\it XMM-Newton}. For each cluster, the member galaxies were determined primarily with photometric redshift measurements. The radial ICM mass distribution, as well as the total gravitational mass distribution, were derived from a spatially-resolved spectral analysis of the X-ray data. When normalizing the radial profile of galaxy number to that of the ICM mass, the relative curve was found to depend significantly on the cluster redshift; it drops more steeply towards outside in lower redshift subsamples. The same evolution is found in the galaxy-to-total mass profile, while the ICM-to-total mass profile varies in an opposite way. We interpret that the galaxies, the ICM, and the dark matter components had similar angular distributions when a cluster was formed, while the galaxies travelling interior of the cluster have continuously fallen towards the center relative to the other components, and the ICM has slightly expanded relative to the dark matter although it suffers strong radiative loss. This cosmological galaxy infall, accompanied by an ICM expansion, can be explained by considering that the galaxies interact strongly with the ICM while they are moving through it. The interaction is considered to create a large energy flow of $10^{44-45}$ erg $\rm s^{-1}$ per cluster from the member galaxies to their environment, which is expected to continue over cosmological time scales.
