星系团自转

Galaxy cluster's rotation

M. Manolopoulou, M. Plionis

摘要:

我们研究可能的旋转星系团,开发,测试和应用一种新的算法,它确定旋转,如果这样的确实存在,以及它的旋转中心,其轴的方向,旋转速度的幅度,最后,顺时针或逆时针方向旋转的天空平面上。为了验证我们的算法,我们构建现实的Monte Carlo模拟旋转集群,并确认我们的方法提供了强大的旋转指示。然后,我们将我们的方法应用于一个样本的阿贝尔星系团与z<~0.1的成员星系从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)DR 10光谱数据库中选择。在排除了一些子结构集群,这可能会提供错误的旋转指示,并考虑到预期的分数错误识别的相干子结构的旋转速度,由我们的蒙特卡罗模拟分析,我们发现,我们的集群旋转的23%下一组严格的标准。放松严格的标准,在引入虚假的旋转指示的代价,我们发现这个分数增加到~ 28%。我们关联我们的旋转指标与集群的动力学状态,无论是由他们的Bautz-Morgan型或由他们的X射线等照度线形状,并发现那些集群显示旋转在1.5小时-1 70 Mpc的意义,他们的旋转是有关的动态年轻阶段的团簇形成,但在最初的各向异性吸积和合并已经完成。最后,在星系团中发现旋转模式可能导致修正动力学星系团质量计算的必要性。

英文摘要:

We study the possible rotation of cluster galaxies, developing, testing and applying a novel algorithm which identifies rotation, if such does exist, as well as its rotational centre, its axis orientation, rotational velocity amplitude and, finally, the clockwise or counterclockwise direction of rotation on the plane of the sky. To validate our algorithms we construct realistic Monte Carlo mock rotating clusters and confirm that our method provides robust indications of rotation. We then apply our methodology on a sample of Abell clusters with z<~0.1 with member galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR10 spectroscopic data base. After excluding a number of substructured clusters, which could provide erroneous indications of rotation, and taking into account the expected fraction of misidentified coherent substructure velocities for rotation, provided by our Monte-Carlo simulation analysis, we find that ~23% of our clusters are rotating under a set of strict criteria. Loosening the strictness of the criteria, on the expense of introducing spurious rotation indications, we find this fraction increasing to ~28%. We correlate our rotation indicators with the cluster dynamical state, provided either by their Bautz-Morgan type or by their X-ray isophotal shape and find for those clusters showing rotation within 1.5 h -1 70 Mpc that the significance of their rotation is related to the dynamically younger phases of cluster formation but after the initial anisotropic accretion and merging has been completed. Finally, finding rotational modes in galaxy clusters could lead to the necessity of correcting the dynamical cluster mass calculations.
