AI总结:

本研究通过半解析模型评估光度和光谱示踪剂对暗晕弛豫的可靠性,发现光度指标(特别是双变量组合)与动力学年龄相关性更强,且与X射线代理量相关性良好,提供了一种经济有效的弛豫量化方法。

摘要:

我们通过半解析星系演化模型,对光度和光谱探针的可靠性进行评估,从而刻画星系系统的弛豫状态。我们量化了模拟星系群的动力学年龄与观测中常用的暗晕弛豫代理量之间的相关性,这些代理量主要分为光谱型和光度型。我们发现,与光谱探针相比,光度指标与星系群动力学弛豫的相关性更强。我们采用安德森-达林统计量($A^2$)和速度分离($\bar{ΔV}$)作为光谱指标,并使用光度间隙($Δm_{12}$)和光度偏心($D_{\mathrm{off-set}}$)作为光度指标。首先,我们发现由双变量关系($\mathrm{B} = 0.04 \times Δm_{12} - 0.11 \times Log(D_{off-set}) + 0.28$)评估的$Δm_{12}$和$D_{\mathrm{off-set}}$的组合,与动力学年龄的相关性优于所有其他指标。其次,通过使用观测的X射线表面亮度图,我们表明该双变量关系与X射线代理量产生了可接受的相关性。这些相关性与$A^2$和X射线代理量之间的相关性相当,提供了一种可靠且快速经济的方法来量化星系系统的弛豫状态。这项研究表明,使用光度数据来确定星系群的弛豫状态将产生一些有前景的结果,这些结果可与更昂贵的光谱方法相媲美。

英文摘要:

We characterize the relaxation state of galaxy systems by providing an assessment of the reliability of the photometric and spectroscopic probe via the semi-analytic galaxy evolution model. We quantify the correlations between the dynamical age of simulated galaxy groups and popular proxies of halo relaxation in observation, which are mainly either spectroscopic or photometric. We find the photometric indicators demonstrate a stronger correlation with the dynamical relaxation of galaxy groups compared to the spectroscopic probes. We take advantage of the Anderson Darling statistic ($A^2$) and the velocity-segregation ($\bar{ΔV}$) as our spectroscopic indicators, and use the luminosity gap ($Δm_{12}$) and the luminosity de-centring ($D_{\mathrm{off-set}}$) as photometric ones. Firstly, we find that a combination of $Δm_{12}$ and $D_{\mathrm{off-set}}$ evaluated by a bivariant relation ($\mathrm{B} = 0.04 \times Δm_{12} - 0.11 \times Log(D_{off-set}) + 0.28$), shows a good correlation with the dynamical age compared to all other indicators. Secondly, by using the observational X-ray surface brightness map, we show that the bivariant relation brings about some acceptable correlations with X-ray proxies. These correlations are as well as the correlations between $A^2$ and X-ray proxies, offering reliable yet fast and economical method of quantifying the relaxation of galaxy systems. This study demonstrates that using photometric data to determine the relaxation status of a group will lead to some promising results that are comparable with the more expensive spectroscopic counterpart.
