Streaming Flow

Peculiar velocity measurements of 2500 southern spiral galaxies show large-scale flows in the direction of the Hydra-Centaurus clusters which fully participate in the flow themselves. The flow is not uniform over this region and seems to be associated with the denser regions which participate in the flow of amplitude about 400km/s. In the less dense regions the flow is small or non-existent. This makes the flow quite asymmetric and inconsistent with that expected from large-scale, parallel streaming flow that includes all galaxies out to 6000km/s as previously thought. The flow cannot be modelled by a Great Attractor at 4300km/s or the Centaurus clusters at 3500km/s. Indeed, from the density maps derived from the redshift surveys of “optical” and IRAS galaxies, it is difficult to see how the mass concentrations can be responsible particularly as they themselves participate in the flow. These results bring into question the generally accepted reason for the peculiar velocities of galaxies that they arise solely as a consequence of infall into the dense regions of the universe. To the N. of the Great Attractor region, the flow increases and shows no sign of diminishing out to the redshift limit of 8000km/s in this direction. We may have detected flow in the nearest section of the Great Wall.

Group Galaxy

AbstractPoor groups are common and interactive environments for galaxies, and thus are important laboratories for studying galaxy evolution. Unfortunately, little is known about groups at z ≥ 0.1, because of the difficulty in identifying them in the first place. Here we present results from our ongoing survey of the environments of strong gravitational lenses, in which we have so far discovered six distant (z ≥ 0.5) groups of galaxies. As in the local Universe, the highest velocity dispersion groups contain a brightest member spatially coincident with the group centroid, whereas lower-dispersion groups tend to have an offset brightest group galaxy. This suggests that higher-dispersion groups are more dynamically relaxed than lower-dispersion groups and that at least some evolved groups exist by z ~ 0.5. We also compare the galaxy and hot gas kinematics with those of similarly distant clusters and of nearby groups.

AbstractWe revisit the bimodality of the galaxy population seen in the local universe. We address this issue in terms of physical properties of galaxies, such as mean stellar ages and stellar masses, derived from the application of a spectral synthesis method to galaxy spectra from the SDSS. We show that the mean light-weighted stellar age of galaxies presents the best description of the bimodality seen in the galaxy population. The stellar mass has an additional role since most of the star-forming galaxies present in the local universe are low-mass galaxies. Our results give support to the existence of a ‘downsizing’ in galaxy formation, where nowadays massive galaxies tend to have stellar populations older than those found in less massive objects.

Evolutionary Connection

AbstractThe centers of most galaxies in the local Universe are occupied by compact, barely resolved sources. Based on their structural properties, position in the Fundamental Plane, and integrated spectra, these sources clearly have a stellar origin. They are therefore called ‘nuclear star clusters’ (NCs) or ‘stellar nuclei’. NCs are found in galaxies of all Hubble types, suggesting that their formation is intricately linked to galaxy evolution. Here, I review some recent studies of NCs, describe ideas for their formation and subsequent growth, and touch on their possible evolutionary connection with both supermassive black holes and globular clusters.
