摘要:

我们研究了一个样本的19个星系团的红移范围$0.15<z<0.30$与高度完整的光谱成员目录(到$K < K^{\ast}(\rm z)+1.5$)从亚利桑那州集群红移调查(ACReS);个人弱透镜质量和近红外数据从本地集群子结构调查(LoCuSS);和光学测光从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)。我们适合在每个六个带通(${\it grizJK}$)和集群质量的总集群亮度之间的比例关系,发现集群亮度是一个有前途的质量代理低的内在散射$σ_{\ln L|M}$的只有$\sim 10-20$ %的所有关系。在固定的过密度半径下,截距随波长增加,与老的恒星星族一致。散射和斜率在所有波长上都是一致的,这表明星系团的颜色不是质量的函数。比较颜色与指标的干扰水平在集群中,我们发现一个狭窄的品种在集群颜色的“干扰”集群比“不受干扰”的集群。这一趋势在对集群合并的初始阶段敏感的指标中更为明显,例如Dressler Schectman统计。我们解释这可能是证据表明,总的集群恒星形成率是“标准化”的合并,也许通过一个过程,如系统范围内的冲击在集群介质。

英文摘要:

We study a sample of 19 galaxy clusters in the redshift range $0.15<z<0.30$ with highly complete spectroscopic membership catalogues (to $K < K^{\ast}(\rm z)+1.5$) from the Arizona Cluster Redshift Survey (ACReS); individual weak-lensing masses and near-infrared data from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS); and optical photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We fit the scaling relations between total cluster luminosity in each of six bandpasses (${\it grizJK}$) and cluster mass, finding cluster luminosity to be a promising mass proxy with low intrinsic scatter $σ_{\ln L|M}$ of only $\sim 10-20$ per cent for all relations. At fixed overdensity radius, the intercept increases with wavelength, consistent with an old stellar population. The scatter and slope are consistent across all wavelengths, suggesting that cluster colour is not a function of mass. Comparing colour with indicators of the level of disturbance in the cluster, we find a narrower variety in the cluster colours of 'disturbed' clusters than of 'undisturbed' clusters. This trend is more pronounced with indicators sensitive to the initial stages of a cluster merger, e.g. the Dressler Schectman statistic. We interpret this as possible evidence that the total cluster star formation rate is 'standardised' in mergers, perhaps through a process such as a system-wide shock in the intracluster medium.
