We present a study of the distribution of galaxies along the radius of 157 groups and clusters of galaxies (200 km s β1 < π < 1100 km s β1 ) of the local Universe (0.01 < π§ < 0.1). We introduced a new boundary of galaxy systems and identified it with the splashback radius π π π . We also identified the central region of galaxy systems with a radius of π π . These radii are defined by the observed integral distribution of the total number of galaxies depending on the squared distance from the center of the groups/clusters coinciding, as a rule, with the brightest galaxy. We show that the radius π π π is proportional to the π 200π (radius of the virialized region of a galaxy cluster) and to the radius of the central region π π with a slope close to 1. Among the obtained dependences of the radii on X-ray luminosity, the log π π π -log πΏ π relation has the lowest scatter. We measured < π π π > = 1.67 Β± 0.05 Mpc for the total sample, < π π π > = 1.14 Β± 0.14 Mpc for galaxy groups with π β€ 400 km s β1 , < π π π > = 2.00 Β± 0.20 Mpc for galaxy clusters with π > 400 km s β1 . We found the average ratio of the radii π π π /π 200π = 1.40 Β± 0.02 or π π π /π 200π = 0.88 Β± 0.02.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citationsβcitations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
