AI总结:

本文统计分析了本地宇宙中宽角尾射电星系的大尺度环境,发现其比 FR I 和 FR II 型射电星系拥有更多邻居星系,且倾向于位于星系群/团中心,支持其为 BCG 的范式。

摘要:

我们对本地宇宙(即红移 $z\lesssim$ 0.15)中一个在射电和光学选择上均均匀且完备的宽角尾射电星系(WATs)样本进行了大尺度(可达 2 Mpc)环境的统计分析。该分析利用目标源 2 Mpc 范围内的宇宙学邻居所获得的参数进行。随后,将 WATs 大尺度环境的结果与另外两个均匀且完备星表中、并采用与 WATs 星表相同标准选择的 Fanaroff-Riley I 型(FR Is)和 II 型(FR IIs)射电星系的结果进行了比较。我们得到指示:在低红移下,WATs 所处的环境比 FR Is 和 FR IIs 拥有更多数量的星系。在所探索的红移范围内,WATs 所在的星系群/星系团的物理尺寸相对于 FR Is 和 FR IIs 几乎保持不变,约为 1 Mpc。根据集中参数(定义为 500 kpc 内与 1 Mpc 内宇宙学邻居数量之比)的分布,我们得出结论:WATs 倾向于居住在其所在的星系群/星系团的中心区域,这与 WATs 是星系团中最亮星系(BCG)的一般范式一致。

英文摘要:

We present a statistical analysis of the large-scale (up to 2 Mpc) environment of an homogeneous and complete sample, both in radio and optical selection, of wide-angle tailed radio galaxies (WATs) in the local Universe (i.e., with redshifts $z\lesssim$ 0.15). The analysis is carried out using the parameters obtained from cosmological neighbors within 2 Mpc of the target source. Results on WATs large-scale environments are then compared with that of Fanaroff-Riley type I (FR Is) and type II (FR IIs) radio galaxies, listed in two others homogeneous and complete catalogs, and selected with the same criterion adopted for the WATs catalog. We obtain indication that at low redshift WATs inhabit environments with a larger number of galaxies than that of FR Is and FR IIs. In the explored redshift range, the physical size of the galaxy group/cluster in which WATs reside appears to be almost constant with respect to FR Is and FR IIs, being around 1 Mpc. From the distribution of the concentration parameter, defined as the ratio between the number of cosmological neighbors lying within 500 kpc and within 1 Mpc, we conclude that WATs tend to inhabit the central region of the group/cluster in which they reside, in agreement with the general paradigm that WATs are the cluster BCG.
