星系团的内陷区

Infall Regions of Galaxy Clusters

Antonaldo Diaferio, Margaret J. Geller

摘要:

在等级聚类中,星系团通过较小系统的聚集来增加质量。因此,速度场的集群的下落区域包含显着的随机运动叠加在径向下落。由于纯粹的球形下落模型不能正确地预测速度场的振幅,因此基于该模型估计宇宙学密度参数Omega_0的方法产生不可靠的偏差结果。事实上,速度场的振幅取决于局部动力学,而对宇宙的整体性质的依赖非常微弱。我们使用N体模拟的平坦和开放的宇宙表明,暗物质晕的下落区域的速度场的振幅是这些区域内的逃逸速度的直接测量。我们可以用这个振幅来估计距离晕中心几兆秒差距内的暗物质晕的质量。在这一区域,动力学平衡的假设不成立。该方法产生的质量估计精度优于30%。如果星系能可靠地追踪星系团坠落区域的速度场,那么这种方法就提供了一种简单的方法,可以仅从红移数据来估计富星系团周围的质量。

英文摘要:

In hierarchical clustering, galaxy clusters accrete mass through the aggregation of smaller systems. Thus, the velocity field of the infall regions of clusters contains significant random motion superimposed on radial infall. Because the purely spherical infall model does not predict the amplitude of the velocity field correctly, methods estimating the cosmological density parameter Omega_0 based on this model yield unreliable biased results. In fact, the amplitude of the velocity field depends on local dynamics and only very weakly on the global properties of the universe. We use N-body simulations of flat and open universes to show that the amplitude of the velocity field of the infall regions of dark matter halos is a direct measure of the escape velocity within these regions. We can use this amplitude to estimate the mass of dark matter halos within a few megaparsecs from the halo center. In this region dynamical equilibrium assumptions do not hold. The method yields a mass estimate with better than 30% accuracy. If galaxies trace the velocity field of the infall regions of clusters reliably, this method provides a straightforward way to estimate the amount of mass surrounding rich galaxy clusters from redshift data alone.
