The pair-wise velocity dispersion of galaxies: effects of non radial motions
نویسنده
چکیده
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 present model with the data from Davis & Peebles (1983), the IRAS value at 1hMpc of Fisher et al. (1993) and Marzke et al. (1995). I show that while the SCDM model disagrees with the observed values, as pointed out by several authors (Peebles 1976, 1980; Davis & Peebles 1983 (hereafter DP83); Mo et. al 1993; Fisher et al. 1994b; SJ97; Jing et al. 1998 (hereafter J98)), taking account of non-radial motions produce smaller values for the PVD. At r ≤ 1hMpc the result is in agreement with Bartlett & Blanchard (1996) (hereafter BB96). At the light of this last paper, the result may be also read as a strong dependence of the CVT prediction on the model chosen to describe the mass distribution around galaxies, suggesting that the CVT cannot be taken as a direct evidence of a low density universe. Similarly to what shown in Del Popolo & Gambera (1999, 2000) (hereafter DG99, DG00), Del Popolo et al. (1999) (hereafter D99), the agreement of our model to the observational data is due to a scale dependent bias induced by the presence of non-radial motions. Since the assumptions on which CVT is based have been questioned by several authors (BB96; SJ97), I also calculated the PVD using the redshift distortion in the redshift-space correlation function, ξz(rp, π), and I compared it with the PVD measured from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey by J98. The result confirms that non-radial motions influence the PVD making them better agree with observed data.

Non radial motions and the shapes and the abundance of clusters of galaxies
We study the effect of non-radial motions on the mass function, the velocity dispersion function (hereafter VDF) and on the shape of clusters of galaxies using the model introduced in Del Popolo & Gambera (1998a,b; 1999). The mass function of clusters, obtained using the quoted model, is compared with the statistical data by Bahcall & Cen (1992a,b) and Girardi et al. (1998), while the VDF is co...

We present a comparison between ionized gas and stellar kinematics for a sample of 5 early-to-intermediate disk galaxies (see Table 1). We measured the major axis V and σ radial profiles for both gas and stars, and the h 3 and h 4 radial profiles of the stars. We also derived from the R-band surface photometry of each galaxy the light contribution of their bulges and disks. In general, in late-...

Aims. We study the kinematics and dynamics of the M51-type interacting galaxy pair KPG 302 (NGC 3893/96). We analyse the perturbations induced by the encounter on each member of the pair, as well as the distribution of the dark matter (DM) halo of the main galaxy in order to explore possible differences between DM halos of " isolated " galaxies and those of galaxies belonging to a pair.

Using cosmological N -body simulations of dark matter haloes, we study the effects of non-sphericity, substructure and streaming motions in reproducing the structure and internal kinematics of clusters of galaxies from kinematical measurements. Fitting an NFW model to the 3D density profile, we determine the virial mass, concentration parameter and velocity anisotropy of the haloes, and then ca...
