星系团中早型星系径向独立尺寸增长的证据

Evidence for radially independent size growth of early-type galaxies in clusters

S. Andreon

摘要:

早期型星系团星系的生长是由内向外、由外向内还是在所有半径上都以相同的速度进行,目前还没有很好的了解。在这项工作中,我们测量了星系的大小,由半径定义,包括80%的星系光,非参数化。我们还确定了一个非参数估计的星系光浓度,它测量的曲率表面亮度分布在星系的郊区。我们使用了一个几乎随机抽样的质量有限的样本形成的128个形态早期型星系的集群与$\log M/M_{\odot} \ga 10.7$跨越广泛的范围$0.17<z<1.81$。从这些数据中,我们推导出的尺寸质量和浓度质量的关系,以及它们的演变。在80%光半径处,星系团中的早型星系在所有红移下都比50%光半径处的大2.7倍,并且在最后10 Gyr接近de Vaucouleurs轮廓。而在$z=2$和$z=0$之间,半光和80%光的大小都增加了$1.7$倍,而浓度在$2$ \%以内保持不变,也就是说在两个半径上,星系团环境中早型星系的大小增长是以相同的速度进行的。文献中提出的现有物理解释与我们的结果不一致,表明需要专门的数值模拟来确定影响星系结构的物理机制。

英文摘要:

It is not well understood whether the growth of early-type cluster galaxies proceeds inside-out, outside-in, or at the same pace at all radii. In this work we measured the galaxy size, defined by the radius including 80\% of the galaxy light, non-parametrically. We also determined a non-parametric estimate of galaxy light concentration, which measures the curvature of the surface brightness profile in the galaxy outskirts. We used an almost random sampling of a mass-limited sample formed by 128 morphologically early-type galaxies in clusters with $\log M/M_{\odot} \ga 10.7$ spanning the wide range $0.17<z<1.81$. From these data we derived the size-mass and concentration-mass relations, as well as their evolution. At 80\% light radius, early-type galaxies in clusters are about 2.7 times larger than at 50\% radius at all redshifts, and close to de Vaucouleurs profiles in the last 10 Gyr. While between $z=2$ and $z=0$ both half-light and 80\% light sizes increase by a factor of $1.7$, concentration stays constant within $2$\%, that is to say the size growth of early-type galaxies in cluster environments proceeds at the same pace at both radii. Existing physical explanations proposed in the literature are inconsistent with our results, demonstrating the need for dedicated numerical simulations to identify the physical mechanism affecting the galaxy structure.
