摘要:

环境效应通常被用来解释星系团中贫气体星系的过剩。与此同时,在星系团外围存在的贫气体星系,星系没有花足够的时间感受到星系团的环境效应,暗示了预处理的存在。利用宇宙学流体动力学模拟对16个星系团进行了研究,探讨了星系团内部星系气体耗尽的机制。天然气衰竭机制可以根据发生的时间和地点分为三种通道。首先,我们的星系中有34个$\%$在进入星系团之前是贫气体的(“预处理”)。它们主要是在群晕内受到环境影响的卫星。第二,样品的43个$\%$在第一次臂间通过(“快速团簇处理”)之前在团簇中迅速变得缺乏气体。其中一些是在进入星系团时气体含量较低的星系群卫星,与直接来自该领域的星系相比。即使是气体含量很大的星系,如果它们落入大质量星系团($> 10^{14.5}\, \rm M_{\odot}$)或通过径向轨道接近星系团中心,也会走这条通道。第三,我们的样本中有24个$\%$甚至在它们第一次经过中心附近(“缓慢的星系团处理”)后仍保留着气体,因为它们落入质量较小的星系团和/或具有圆形轨道。每个通道的相对重要性随星系团的质量而变化,而确切的重要性程度受到很大的不确定性的影响。星系团的预处理占总气体消耗的三分之一,但它也决定了星系进入星系团时的气体比例,这反过来又决定了星系团应该进行快速还是慢速处理。

英文摘要:

The environmental effect is commonly used to explain the excess of gas-poor galaxies in galaxy clusters. Meanwhile, the presence of gas-poor galaxies at cluster outskirts, where galaxies have not spent enough time to feel the cluster environmental effect, hints for the presence of pre-processing. Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations on 16 clusters, we investigate the mechanisms of gas depletion of galaxies found inside clusters. The gas depletion mechanisms can be categorized into three channels based on where and when they took place. First, 34$\%$ of our galaxies are gas poor before entering clusters (`pre-processing'). They are mainly satellites that have undergone the environmental effect inside group halos. Second, 43$\%$ of the sample became quickly gas deficient in clusters before the first pericentric pass (`fast cluster processing'). Some of them were group satellites that are low in gas at the time of cluster entry compared to the galaxies directly coming from the field. Even the galaxies with large gas fractions take this channel if they fall into massive clusters ($> 10^{14.5}\, \rm M_{\odot}$) or approach cluster centers through radial orbits. Third, 24$\%$ of our sample retain gas even after their first pericentric pass (`slow cluster processing') as they fall into the less massive clusters and/or have circular orbits. The relative importance of each channel varies with a cluster's mass, while the exact degree of significance is subject to large uncertainties. Group pre-processing accounts for a third of the total gas depletion; but it also determines the gas fraction of galaxies at their cluster entry which in turn determines whether a galaxy should take the fast or the slow cluster processing.
