Brilliant星系团Galvanes和团内光:团和团最内部的质量分布

Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Intra-Cluster Light: Their Mass Distribution in the Innermost Regions of Groups and Clusters

Emanuele Contini, QiuSheng Gu

摘要:

我们改进了Contini & Gu 2020中提出的模型,该模型描述了最亮星系团(BCG)的径向质量分布和漫射分量,也称为团内光(ICL),假设全球BCG+ICL径向质量分布遵循三个轮廓之和:BCG的凸起和盘分别为Jaffe和指数分布,ICL为NFW分布的修改版本。我们利用我们最先进的半解析模型模拟的BCG+ICL系统的广泛样本:(a)调查我们的BCG+ICL分布的可靠性,通过观察不同孔径内的BCG+ICL恒星质量和总BCG+ICL/晕质量之间的几个标度关系,在不同的红移;(b)作出预测的径向分布过渡从BCG到ICL占主导地位的距离。我们发现,我们的模型很好地再现了所有观察到的标度关系,在目前的调查具有令人信服的精度,但略有偏差,低相对于在较高的红移($z\gtrsim 0.5$)的观察。由我们的模型预测的过渡半径与最近的观测结果是很好的一致,并跨越$\sim 15$ kpc和$\sim 100$ kpc之间的范围。它主要取决于BCG的形态,无论是凸起还是盘占主导地位,ICL相对于凸起和/或盘的量,以及组/簇的动力学状态。

英文摘要:

We improve the model presented in Contini & Gu 2020 that describes the radial mass distribution of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) and the diffuse component also known as intra-cluster light (ICL), by assuming that the global BCG+ICL radial mass distribution follows the sum of three profiles: a Jaffe and an exponential profiles for the bulge and disk of the BCG, respectively, and a modified version of an NFW profile for the ICL. We take advantage of a wide sample of BCG+ICL systems simulated with our state-of-art semi-analytic model to: (a) investigate the reliability of our BCG+ICL distribution by looking at several scaling relations between the BCG+ICL stellar mass within different apertures and the total BCG+ICL/halo mass, at different redshift; (b) make a prediction of the distance where the radial distribution transitions from BCG to ICL dominated. We find that our model nicely reproduces all the observed scaling relations investigated at the present time with a compelling degree of precision, but slightly biased-low with respect to observations at higher redshifts ($z\gtrsim 0.5$). The transition radius predicted by our model is in good agreement with recent observational results, and spans a range between $\sim 15$ kpc and $\sim 100$ kpc. It mostly depends on the morphology of the BCG, whether it is bulge or disk dominated, on the amount of ICL with respect to the bulge and/or disk, and on the dynamical state of the group/cluster.
