摘要:

在Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey(LEGUS)和相互作用星系NGC 5291周围的潮汐矮星中,星团的相对平均最小投影分离被确定为星团质量的函数,以寻找星团-星团质量分离。第2类和第3类的LEGUS星系团,比紧凑和对称的第1类星系团具有更不规则的内部结构,被发现在低质量星系中是质量分离的,这意味着与低质量星系团相比,质量更大的星系团系统地聚集在一起。这种质量分离不存在于高质量星系中,也不存在于1类星系团中。我们认为这种分离的可能原因包括团簇形成的差异和低质量星系的浅引力势的散射。

英文摘要:

The relative average minimum projected separations of star clusters in the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) and in tidal dwarfs around the interacting galaxy NGC 5291 are determined as a function of cluster mass to look for cluster-cluster mass segregation. Class 2 and 3 LEGUS clusters, which have a more irregular internal structure than the compact and symmetric class 1 clusters, are found to be mass segregated in low mass galaxies, which means that the more massive clusters are systematically bunched together compared to the lower mass clusters. This mass segregation is not present in high-mass galaxies nor for class 1 clusters. We consider possible causes for this segregation including differences in cluster formation and scattering in the shallow gravitational potentials of low mass galaxies.
