摘要:

我们研究了SDSS DR 7星系群样本中最亮星系群的射电和光学性质。BGG和该星系群中排名第二的星系之间的光度差异(称为光度或星等差距)已被用作探测该星系群中BGG的星系相互作用水平的探针。我们研究了在0-2.7星等范围内具有光度间隙的BGG的性质,以探讨光度间隙与BGG射电性质之间的关系。为了消除选择偏差,我们确保恒星质量的所有变化都被考虑在内。然后,我们确认,在固定的恒星质量,有没有显着的变化,在整个范围内的光度差距研究的BGG的光学性质。我们将这些光学结果与EAGLE流体动力学模拟进行比较,发现与观测数据具有广泛的一致性。使用EAGLE,我们还确认,没有趋势开始出现在模拟数据的光度差距超出我们的观测极限。最后,我们发现,在固定的恒星质量,射电响亮的BGG的分数也没有显示出作为光度差距的函数的趋势。我们研究了BGG从组中心的偏移如何影响无线电结果,并发现在BGG样本中,从组中心偏移大于或小于100 kpc的无线电大声BGG的比例与幅度差距没有显着的趋势。

英文摘要:

We study the radio and optical properties of the brightest group galaxies (BGGs) in a sample of galaxy groups from the SDSS DR7. The luminosity difference between the BGG and the second ranked galaxy in the group (known as the luminosity, or magnitude, gap) has been used as a probe for the level of galaxy interaction for the BGG within the group. We study the properties of BGGs with magnitude gaps in the range 0-2.7 magnitudes, in order to investigate any relation between luminosity gap and the radio properties of the BGG. In order to eliminate selection biases, we ensure that all variations in stellar mass are accounted for. We then confirm that, at fixed stellar mass, there are no significant variations in the optical properties of the BGGs over the full range of luminosity gaps studied. We compare these optical results with the EAGLE hydrodynamical simulations and find broad consistency with the observational data. Using EAGLE we also confirm that no trends begin to arise in the simulated data at luminosity gaps beyond our observational limits. Finally, we find that, at fixed stellar mass, the fraction of BGGs that are radio-loud also shows no trends as a function of luminosity gap. We examine how the BGG offset from the center of group may affect the radio results and find no significant trend for the fraction of radio-loud BGGs with magnitude gap in either the BGG samples with greater or less than 100kpc offset from the center of group.
