The rate of gravitational wave bursts from the mergers of massive primordial black holes in clusters is calculated. Such clusters of black holes can be formed through phase transitions in the early Universe. The central black holes in clusters can serve as the embryos of supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei. The expected burst detection rate by the LISA gravitational wave detector is estimated. 相似文献

We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data. In A168, two subclusters appear to have passed each other and to be coming together from the recent maximum separation. In A1750, two major subclusters appear to have started interaction and to be coming together for the first time. We find an enhanced concentration of the galaxies showing star formation (SF) or active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity in the region between two subclusters in A168, which were possibly triggered by the cluster merger. In A1750, we do not find any galaxies with SF/AGN activity in the region between two subclusters, indicating that two major subclusters are in the early stage of merging. 相似文献

By means of population synthesis models with variable α/Fe ratios we derive average ages, metallicities, and [α/Fe] element
enhancements for a sample of 126 field and cluster early-type galaxies. We find a clear positive relation between [α/Fe] and
velocity dispersion. Zero-point, slope, and scatter of this correlation are the same for cluster and field galaxies. In particular,
the [α/Fe] ratios and mean ages of cluster ellipticals are positively correlated. This strongly reinforces the view that the
[α/Fe] element enhancement in ellipticals is produced by star formation timescales rather than by variations of the initial
mass function. These results indicate that the more massive the galaxy, the shorter is its star formation timescale, and the
higher is the redshift of the bulk of star formation. This finding is not compatible with the predictions from models of hierarchical
galaxy formation. The lenticular and field galaxies of the investigated sample do not follow the correlation between age and
[α/Fe], but contain a non-negligible fraction of galaxies with young average ages and high [α/Fe] ratios.

In my contribution I discuss the relevance that hydrodynamical simulation of clusters can play to understand the ICM physics
and to calibrate mass estimates from X-ray observable quantities. Using hydrodynamical simulations, which cover quite a large
dynamical range and include a fairly advanced treatment of the gas physics (cooling, star formation and SN feedback), I show
that scaling relations among X-ray observable quantities can be reproduced quite well. At the sametime, these simulations
fail at accounting for several observational quantities, which are related to the cooling structure of the ICM: the fraction
of stars, the temperature profiles and the gas entropy in central cluster regions. This calls for the need of introducing
in simulations suitable physical mechanisms which should regulate the cooling structure of the ICM. 相似文献

We study morphology and luminosity segregation of galaxies in groups. We analyze the two catalogs of (∼2×400) groups which
have been identified in the Nearby Optical Galaxy sample, by means of hierarchical and percolation `friends-of-friends' methods.
We find that earlier-type (brighter) galaxies are more clustered and lie closer to the group centers, both in position and
in velocity, than later-type (fainter) galaxies. Spatial segregations are stronger than kinematical segregations. These effects
are generally detected at the ≳3-sigma level, with the exception of morphological segregation in velocity, which is the weakest
effect. Our main results are confirmed by the analysis of statistically more reliable groups (with at least five members),
and are strengthened by the detection of segregation in both hierarchical and percolation catalogs. Luminosity segregation
is shown to be independent of morphology segregation. Our conclusions agree with a continuum of segregation properties of
galaxies in systems, from low-mass groups to massive clusters.

Observations indicate that much of the interstellar gas in merging galaxies may settle into extended gaseous discs. Here, I present simulations of disc formation in mergers of gas-rich galaxies. Up to half of the total gas settles into embedded discs; the most massive instances result from encounters in which both galaxies are inclined to the orbital plane. These discs are often warped, many have rather complex kinematics, and roughly a quarter have counter-rotating or otherwise decoupled central components. Discs typically grow from the inside out; infall from tidal tails may continue disc formation over long periods of time. 相似文献

We present the basic features and preliminary results of the interface between our spectrophotometric model GRASIL (which
calculates galactic SEDs from the UV to the submm with a detailed computation of dust extinction and thermal reemission) with
the semi-analytical galaxy formation model GALFORM (which computes galaxy formation and evolution in the hierarchical scenario,
providing the star formation history as an input to our model). With these two models we are able to synthesize simulated
samples of a few thousand galaxies for statistical studies of galaxy properties to investigate galaxy formation and evolution.
There is good agreement with the available SED and luminosity function data.
