致密星系群中的量化漫射光

Quantified diffuse light in compact groups of galaxies

摘要:

星系群中的绝大多数恒星都包含在它们的组成星系中。然而,预计有一小部分恒星会遵循该群体的全球暗物质潜力。在紧凑的星系群中,星系之间的相互作用应该是频繁的。这导致更密集的材料从组成员剥离,最终形成组内轻组分(IGL)。因此,IGL的分布应与紧群中总质量的分布及其动力学状态有关。在这项研究中,我们考虑的分布和分数的IGL在一个样本的36希克森紧群(HCG)。我们利用WISE $28$ -英寸望远镜对这些致密星系群进行了深度观测(观测范围可达$r$波段的表面亮度$\sim 28$ mag\、角秒$^{-2}$)。对于五个具有明亮对称IGL分量的HCG,我们进行多分量光度分解,同时拟合星系轮廓和IGL。对于其余的星系群,我们只拟合了它们的组成星系的轮廓。我们发现,IGL的平均表面亮度与组的平均形态相关:它变得更明亮的组与早期型星系的比例较大。另一方面,IGL的亮度取决于该集团的总光度。IGL的轮廓往往有一个Sérsic指数$n\sim0.5-1$,这通常是一致的质量密度分布的暗物质晕在紧凑的群体从宇宙学模拟。

英文摘要:

The vast majority of stars in galaxy groups are contained within their constituent galaxies. Some small fraction of stars is expected, however, to follow the global dark matter potential of the group. In compact groups, interactions between the galaxies should be frequent. This leads to a more intensive material stripping from the group members, which finally forms an intra-group light component (IGL). Therefore, the distribution of the IGL should be related to the distribution of the total mass in the compact group and its dynamical status. In this study we consider the distribution and fraction of the IGL in a sample of 36 Hickson compact groups (HCGs). We use deep observations of these compact groups (down to surface brightness $\sim 28$ mag\,arcsec$^{-2}$ in the $r$ band) obtained with the WISE $28$-inch telescope. For five HCGs with a bright symmetric IGL component, we carry out multicomponent photometric decomposition to simultaneously fit the galaxy profiles and the IGL. For the remaining groups, we only fit the profiles of their constituent galaxies. We find that the mean surface brightness of the IGL correlates with the mean morphology of the group: it becomes brighter in the groups with a larger fraction of early-type galaxies. On the other hand, the IGL brightness depends on the total luminosity of the group. The IGL profile tends to have a Sérsic index $n\sim0.5-1$, which is generally consistent with the mass density profile of dark matter haloes in compact groups obtained from cosmological simulations.
