在星系团内和周围搜寻MgII吸收体

Searching for MgII absorbers in and around galaxy clusters

Jong Chul Lee, Ho Seong Hwang, Hyunmi Song

摘要:

为了研究环星系介质(CGM)的环境效应,我们利用SDSS中的redMapPer星系团、背景类星体和团星系的样品。利用~ 82000个类星体光谱,我们在星系团内部和周围探测到197个MgII吸收体。每个类星体的探测率是2.7 $\pm$ 0.7倍,高于集群内的集群外,这表明镁II吸收剂是相对丰富的集群。然而,当考虑到星系的数量密度时,星系与星系的比率在星系团内部相当低。如果我们假设MgII吸收体主要来自大质量恒星形成星系的CGM,则典型的团星系晕的大小比场星系小30 $\pm$ 10%,这一发现支持星系晕可以通过与主星系团的相互作用而被截断。

英文摘要:

To study environmental effects on the circumgalactic medium (CGM), we use the samples of redMaPPer galaxy clusters, background quasars and cluster galaxies from the SDSS. With ~82 000 quasar spectra, we detect 197 MgII absorbers in and around the clusters. The detection rate per quasar is 2.7$\pm$0.7 times higher inside the clusters than outside the clusters, indicating that MgII absorbers are relatively abundant in clusters. However, when considering the galaxy number density, the absorber-to-galaxy ratio is rather low inside the clusters. If we assume that MgII absorbers are mainly contributed by the CGM of massive star-forming galaxies, a typical halo size of cluster galaxies is smaller than that of field galaxies by 30$\pm$10 per cent. This finding supports that galaxy haloes can be truncated by interaction with the host cluster.
