摘要:

利用星系和质量大会(GAMA)星系群目录中跨越晕质量范围$12.8 < \log [M_{h}/M] < 14.2$的550个星系群的有限体积样本,我们研究了中央Brilliant群星系(BGG)的合并潜力。我们使用光谱确认的近距离伴星星系作为指示的潜在恒星质量积累的低红移BGG,$z \leq 0.2$。我们确定了17个密切的同伴星系与预计的分离$r_{p} < 30$ kpc,相对速度$Δv \leq 300$公里的$^{-1}$,和恒星质量比$M_{BGG}/M_{CC} \leq 4$相对于BGG。这些紧密的伴星星系产生了$0.03 \pm 0.01$的总配对分数。总的来说,我们发现,在我们的样本中的BGG有可能增长的恒星质量,由于合并的$2.2 \pm 1.5\%$陀螺$^{-1}$。这低于当前星系演化模型预测的恒星质量增长。

英文摘要:

Using a volume-limited sample of 550 groups from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) Galaxy Group Catalogue spanning the halo mass range $12.8 < \log [M_{h}/M] < 14.2$, we investigate the merging potential of central Brightest Group Galaxies (BGGs). We use spectroscopically-confirmed close-companion galaxies as an indication of the potential stellar mass build-up of low-redshift BGGs, $z \leq 0.2$. We identify 17 close-companion galaxies with projected separations $r_{p} < 30$ kpc, relative velocities $Δv \leq 300$ km s$^{-1}$, and stellar-mass ratios $M_{BGG}/M_{CC} \leq 4$ relative to the BGG. These close-companion galaxies yield a total pair fraction of $0.03 \pm 0.01$. Overall, we find that BGGs in our sample have the potential to grow in stellar mass due to mergers by $2.2 \pm 1.5\%$ Gyr$^{-1}$. This is lower than the stellar mass growth predicted by current galaxy evolution models.
