摘要:

基于SDSS DR 12光谱星系样本中81 089个星系群254 220个星系的大样本,研究了z<0.2时星系群中活动星系核(活动星系核,AGN)宿主星系和恒星形成星系的入射角、形态、环境密度和恒星形成性质的径向分布,以及它们随群体丰富度的变化($N_{\rm rich}$)。结果发现,AGN分数略有下降,丰富的集团/集群。SFG分数平均约为AGN分数的2倍,并随着丰度的增加而显著下降。活动星系核群主要分布在球状和膨胀盘星系中,而SFG则主要分布在晚型盘星系中。与SFG相比,贫困组AGN($5 \leqslant N_{\rm rich} \leqslant 10$)更接近组中心。活动星系核分数不随离星系群中心的距离而变化,而SFG分数在外围有较高的趋势。对于大质量($\log(M_*/M_{\odot}) > 10.7$)星系,星系群中活动星系核的发生率高于SFG,而对于大半径、低质量的晚型星系,SFG的平均发生率约为活动星系核的6倍。环境光密度的分布表明活动星系核可能处于相对于SFG更密集的环境中。与成组的SFG相比,成组AGN具有更高的平均恒星质量、更低的平均恒星形成率和更老的平均恒星年龄。

英文摘要:

Based on a large sample of 254 220 galaxies in 81 089 groups, which are selected from the spectroscopic galaxy sample of the SDSS DR12, we investigate the radial distribution of incidences, morphologies, environmental densities, and star formation properties of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies and star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in the groups at z<0.2, as well as their changes with group richness ($N_{\rm rich}$). It is found that AGN fraction slightly declines with richness for the groups/clusters. The SFG fraction is on average about 2 times larger than the AGN fraction, with a significant declining trend with richness. The group AGNs are preferentially reside in spheroidal and bulge-dominated disc galaxies, whereas the majority of SFGs are late-type discs. Compared with the SFGs, the AGNs in poor groups ($5 \leqslant N_{\rm rich} \leqslant 10$) are closer to group center. The AGN fraction does not change with the distance to the group center, whereas the SFG fraction tends to be higher in the outskirts. The AGNs in groups have a higher incidence than the SFGs for the massive ($\log(M_*/M_{\odot}) > 10.7$) galaxies, and the mean SFG fraction is about 6 times as that of AGNs in the late-type galaxies with lower masses at larger radius. The distribution of environmental luminosity densities shows that the AGNs are likely to be reside in a denser environment relative to the SFGs. Compared with the SFGs in groups, the group AGNs are found to have a higher mean stellar mass, a lower mean star formation rate, and an older mean stellar age.
