Brightest Cluster Galaxy Formation in Low - Redshift Galaxy Clusters
We present the composite luminosity function of a sample of 17 low-redshift galaxy clusters. Our luminosity functions have been measured for an inner region (r ≤ r 200) and an outer region (r 200 ≤ r ≤ 2r 200) centred on each Brightest Cluster Galaxy. The inner region luminosity function has a significantly flatter faint-end slope (α inner = −1.81 ± 0.02) than the outer region (α outer = −2.07 ...
متن کاملMinor Galaxy Interactions : Star Formation Rates and Galaxy Properties
We study star formation in a sample of 1204 galaxies in minor (|∆mz| ≥ 2) pairs and compact groups, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). We analyze an analogous sample of 2409 galaxies in major (|∆mz| < 2) pairs and compact groups to ensure that our selection reproduces previous results, and we use a “field” sample of 65,570 galaxies for comparison. Our major and m...
متن کاملX - ray structures in galaxy cluster cores ⋆
Using a set of ROSAT HRI deep pointings, we investigate the presence of small-scale structures in the central regions of clusters of galaxies. Our sample comprises 23 objects up to z=0.32, 13 of them known to host a cooling flow. Structures are detected and characterized using a wavelet analysis, their statistical significance being assessed by a rigorous treatment of photon noise. For all clus...
متن کاملStar formation and structure formation in galaxy interactions and mergers
A number of theoretical and simulation results on star and structure formation in galaxy interactions and mergers is reviewed, and recent hydrodynamic simulations are presented. The role of gravity torques and ISM turbulence in galaxy interactions, in addition to the tidal field, is highlighted. Interactions can drive gas inflows towards the central kpc and trigger a central starburst, the inte...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of Galaxy Formation: Cooling, Heating, Star Formation
Formation of luminous matter in the Universe is a complicated process, which includes many processes and components. It is the vastly different scales involved in the process (from star formation on few parsec scales to galaxy clusters and superclusters on megaparsecs scales) and numerous ill-understood processes, which make the whole field a maze of unsolved, but exciting problems. We present ...
