Characteristics
edit2MASX J07322028+3138009 is one of the largest galaxies. With a diameter of 565,700 light-years, it is classified as the most luminous galaxy,[2] typically old and red lying near the center of the cluster[3] with an estimated black hole mass of 1.17 x 109 M⊙.[4]
The galaxy is uniformed in color with a well established richness correction at 0.10 magnitude/Abell richness class[5] and narrow distribution of luminosity ranging at least 5 <% N <% 500 and a luminosity evolution with a rate dM/dt = 1.09 (1 + z)H0 mag yr -1, hinting 2MASX J07322028+3138009 was brighter during the past.[6]
The galaxy is aligned with its parent cluster[7][8] and has an extended galactic halo with a mass of M500 = 2.0 × 1014 to 1.5 × 1015 M⊙,[9] which its outer component is found to be 10-40 times larger in scale. It has ~10 times of the total luminosity of the inner component, with it exhibits a steeper ⟨μ⟩-re relation than that of the elliptical fundamental plane.[10]
One possible theory for 2MASX J07322028+3138009 having special properties is the process of galactic cannibalism. As a BCG, the galaxy might have engulfed and merged with satellite galaxies thus increasing its luminosity.[11][12] Because dynamical friction is a mass-dependent process, such massive galaxies, will tend to merge quickly with the central galaxy. From major mergers, comes the building-up the mass of the central galaxy as well as reducing the number of massive satellite galaxies. It is estimated that the cannibalism rate is ~2L* per 5 × 109 yr according to Lauer, who looked for evidence of interactions between the BCG and secondary galaxies in the study in 1988.[13] Not only to mention, as the galaxies merge with the entity, the active galactic nucleus in 2MASX J07322028+3138009 is triggered, as the accretion is sent spiraling towards its supermassive black hole.[14]
Abell 586
editThe galaxy cluster where 2MASX J07322028+3138009 is residing, is classfied as Bautz-Morgan type I cluster at redshift of z = 0.17, with an Abell richness class of 3. It has an X-ray emission LX = 1.11 x 1045 h−1 50 ergs s−1 with a peak that is coincident with the position of the brightest cluster galaxy.[15] It is a massive galaxy cluster with M500 ≳ 2 × 1014 M⊙.[16] Researchers who studied the cluster found evidence of the interaction between dark matter and dark energy, whom they argued that this interaction suggests evidence of violation of the Equivalence Principle.[17]
In another study, researchers analyzed the mass content of Abell 586, through optical data obtained with Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) mounted on the 8 m Gemini North telescope, and combining with the publicly available X-ray data taken by Chandra space telescope. They found, the cluster has a 68% confidence level, with velocity dispersion of 1000–1250 km s−1.[15]
From the projected mass distributions obtained through weak lensing and X-ray emission, researchers found it strikingly similar, with nearly circular geometry whom they suggested that Abell 586 is likely a truly relaxed cluster whose last major merger event occurred more than ~4 billion years ago.[15]
