摘要:

我们应用基于晕的群发现器对2 MRS、6dFGS、SDSS和2dFGRS四个大红移巡天进行了研究,以构造低红移宇宙中的群目录。这个星系群探测器是基于Yang等人的星系群探测器,但是改进了晕质量分配,这样它就可以统一地应用于星系的各种红移观测。晕质量是根据成员星系的恒星质量/光度来分配的。分组星系根据常见的晕和晕质量分配的组发现者的性能进行了测试,使用现实的模拟样本构造的流体动力学模拟和经验模型的星系占领的暗物质晕。我们的小组发现正确的真正的成员星系的$\sim 94\%$为$90-95\%$的组中的模拟样本;晕质量分配的小组发现者是无偏见的相对于真正的晕质量,并有一个典型的不确定性$\sim0.2\,{\rm dex}$。描述了由观测样本构造的群星表的性质,并与文献中的类似星表进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We apply a halo-based group finder to four large redshift surveys, the 2MRS, 6dFGS, SDSS and 2dFGRS, to construct group catalogs in the low-redshift Universe. The group finder is based on that of Yang et al. but with an improved halo mass assignment so that it can be applied uniformly to various redshift surveys of galaxies. Halo masses are assigned to groups according to proxies based on the stellar mass/luminosity of member galaxies. The performances of the group finder in grouping galaxies according to common halos and in halo mass assignments are tested using realistic mock samples constructed from hydrodynamical simulations and empirical models of galaxy occupation in dark matter halos. Our group finder finds $\sim 94\%$ of the correct true member galaxies for $90-95\%$ of the groups in the mock samples; the halo masses assigned by the group finder are un-biased with respect to the true halo masses, and have a typical uncertainty of $\sim0.2\,{\rm dex}$. The properties of group catalogs constructed from the observational samples are described and compared with other similar catalogs in the literature.
