The pair-wise velocity dispersion of galaxies: effects of non radial motions
I discuss the effect of non-radial motions on the small-scale pairwise peculiar velocity dispersions of galaxies (PVD) in a CDM model. I calculate the PVD for the SCDM model by means of the refined cosmic virial theorem (CVT) (Suto & Jing 1997 (hereafter SJ97)) and taking account of non-radial motions by means of Del Popolo & Gambera (1998) (hereafter DG98) model. I compare the results of the p...
متن کاملPairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies at high redshift: theoretical predictions
We investigate the feasibility of determining the pairwise velocity dispersion (PVD) for Lyman Break Galaxies(LBGs), and of using this quantity as a discriminator among theoretical models. We find that different schemes of galaxy formation lead to significant changes of the PVD. We propose a simple phenomenological model for the formation of Lyman break galaxies, determined by the formation int...
متن کاملThe Pairwise Peculiar Velocity Dispersion of Galaxies: Effects of the Infall
We study the reliability of the reconstruction method which uses a modelling of the redshift distortions of the two-point correlation function to estimate the pairwise peculiar velocity dispersion of galaxies. The dependence of this quantity on different models for the infall velocity is examined. We make extensive use of numerical simulations and of mock catalogs derived from them to discuss t...
متن کاملThe pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies: luminosity dependence and a new test of galaxy formation models
We present the first determination of the pairwise velocity dispersion (PVD) for galaxies in different luminosity intervals using the final release of the TwoDegree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We have discovered quite surprisingly that the relative velocities of the faint galaxies at small separation are very high, around 700 km s, reaching similar values as the brightest galaxies. A...
متن کاملSpatial correlation function and pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies: CDM models versus the Las Campanas Survey
We show, with the help of large N-body simulations, that the real-space two-point correlation function and pairwise velocity dispersion of galaxies can both be measured reliably from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. The real-space correlation function is well fitted by the power law ξ(r) = (r0/r) γ with r0 = (5.06± 0.12) hMpc and γ = 1.862± 0.034, and the pairwise velocity dispersion at 1 hMpc...
