Studying Galaxy Formation in Loose Galaxy Groups
We present the results of our HI survey of six loose groups of galaxies analogous to the Local Group. The survey was conducted using the Parkes telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array to produce a census of all the gas-rich galaxies and analogs to the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) within these groups down to MHI< 10 M⊙ as a test of models of galaxy formation. We present the HI mass fu...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for the Detection of Inter-cluster Galaxy Filaments using Galaxy Orientation Alignments
We present a new algorithm to detect inter-cluster galaxy filaments based upon the assumption that the orientations of constituent galaxies along such filaments are nonisotropic. We apply the algorithm to the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey catalogue and find that it readily detects many straight filaments between close cluster pairs. At large inter-cluster separations (>> 15h Mpc), we find that the...
متن کاملA GMBCG Galaxy Cluster Catalog of 55 , 437 Rich Clusters from SDSS DR 7
We present a large catalog of optically selected galaxy clusters from the application of a new Gaussian Mixture Brightest Cluster Galaxy (GMBCG) algorithm to SDSS Data Release 7 data. The algorithm detects clusters by identifying the red sequence plus Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) feature, which is unique for galaxy clusters and does not exist among field galaxies. Red sequence clustering in c...
متن کاملThe Spiderweb Galaxy: a Forming Massive Cluster Galaxy
We present a deep image of the radio galaxy MRC 1138 262 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at a redshift of . The galaxy is known to have properties of a cD galaxy progenitor and be surrounded z p 2.2 by a 3 Mpc–sized structure, identified with a protocluster. The morphology shown on the new deep HST ACS image is reminiscent of a spider’s web. More than 10 individual clumpy features a...
متن کاملBrightest 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 ...
