星系团的动力学阶段及其对星系恒星星族的影响

The dynamic stage of clusters and its influence on the stellar populations of galaxies

N. R. Soares, S. B. Rembold

摘要:

我们研究了不同动力学阶段星系团中星系的恒星星族,旨在确定星系团或子星系团的弛豫状态对其星系的恒星形成历史的可能影响。我们已经开发并应用了一个代码的运动学子结构检测的样本的412个星系团从\citet []{tempel 2012}目录,发现一个频率的子结构的45%。我们用{ \sc{starlight} }谱合成程序对样本星系的SDSS-Ⅲ谱进行了恒星平均年龄的提取。我们发现较低的平均恒星年龄在非松弛集群相对于松弛集群。对于非松弛的集群,我们分离的初级和次级subhalos,并发现,而松弛的集群和初级提出类似的质量和年龄分布,secondaries提出年轻的恒星星族,主要是由于低质量的星系($\log M_\star/M_\odot \lesssim 11$ \,德克斯)。一个年龄集群中心半径的关系被认为是所有subhalos无论子结构的存在。我们还观察到的平均恒星年龄和质量之间的关系的放松和unrelaxed集群,大规模的系统呈现较高的平均年龄。这些关系的轨迹是不同的放松和非放松集群,但变得难以区分时,分离小学和中学。我们的研究结果表明,松弛和非松弛的集群之间的差异主要是由低质量的系统在集群的外围,而预处理可以看到在动态年轻的集群的子组件,在恒星星族的一些演变必须发生在集群的松弛。

英文摘要:

We investigate the stellar populations of galaxies in clusters at different dynamical stages, aiming to identify possible effects of the relaxation state of the cluster or subcluster on the star formation histories of its galaxies. We have developed and applied a code for kinematic substructure detection to a sample of 412 galaxy clusters drawn from the \citet[]{tempel2012} catalogue, finding a frequency of substructures of 45\%. We have extracted mean stellar ages with the {\sc{starlight}} spectral synthesis code applied to SDSS-III spectra of the sample galaxies. We found lower mean stellar ages in unrelaxed clusters relative to relaxed clusters. For unrelaxed clusters, we separated primary and secondary subhalos and found that, while relaxed clusters and primaries present similar masses and age distributions, secondaries present younger stellar populations, mainly due to low-mass galaxies ($\log M_\star/M_\odot \lesssim 11$\,dex). An age-clustercentric radius relation is seen for all subhalos irrespective of the presence of substructures. We also observe relations between the mean stellar age and mass of relaxed and unrelaxed clusters, massive systems presenting higher mean ages. The locus of these relations is distinct between relaxed and unrelaxed clusters, but become indistinguishable when separating primaries and secondaries. Our results suggest that differences between relaxed and unrelaxed clusters are mainly driven by low-mass systems in the clusters outskirts, and that, while pre-processing can be seen in the subcomponents of dynamically young clusters, some evolution in the stellar populations must occur during the clusters relaxation.
