Quenching Low-mass Satellite Galaxies: Evidence for a Threshold ICM Density
Abstract
We compile a sample of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy clusters with high-quality Chandra X-ray data to directly study the influence of the dense intracluster medium (ICM) on the quenching of satellite galaxies. We study the quenched fractions of satellite galaxies as a function of ICM density for low- (109 ≲ M⋆ ≲ 1010 M⊙), intermediate- (1010 ≲ M⋆ ≲ 1010.5 M⊙), and high-mass (M⋆ ≳ 1010.5 M⊙) satellite galaxies with >3000 satellite …
