搜寻附近星系群的低表面亮度特征

Hunting for low-surface brightness features in nearby galaxy groups

Oliver Müller

摘要:

在矮星系的尺度上,观测和结构形成理论之间的一些紧张关系已经在本星系群中被确定。其中之一,卫星平面问题描述了矮星系围绕其宿主的分布和运动是平面和共同运动的。为了扩展这些研究,我们调查了附近的半人马座星系群,并再次发现了矮星系平面结构内共同旋转的证据,对目前的LambdaCDM范式提出了挑战。为了进一步研究其他星系群周围卫星系统的分布,我们测试了MTO -一个探测天文源的程序-发现它与表面亮度波动距离测量相结合可以很好地获得矮星系的完整样本。这种方法将改善对附近星系群中矮星系的普查,为小尺度问题的研究提供坚实的统计基础。

英文摘要:

On the scale of dwarf galaxies, several tensions between observations and the theory of structure formation have been identified in the Local Group of galaxies. One of them, the plane-of-satellite problem describes the distribution and motion of dwarf galaxies around their hosts being planar and co-moving. To extend these studies, we have surveyed the nearby Centaurus group and found again evidence for co-rotation within a planar structure of dwarf galaxies, posing a challenge to the current LambdaCDM paradigm. To further study the distribution of satellite systems around other galaxy groups, we have tested MTO - a program to detect astronomical sources - and found that it works well in combination with surface brightness fluctuation distance measurements to get a complete sample of dwarf galaxies. Such an approach will improve the census of dwarf galaxies in nearby galaxy groups, bringing the study of the small-scale problems to a solid statistical foundation.
