Nearby groups of galaxies in the Hercules-Bootes constellations
Abstract
We consider a sample of 412 galaxies with radial velocities km s situated in the sky region of ... , ... between the Local Void and the Supergalactic plane. One hundred and eighty-one of them have individual distance estimates. Peculiar velocities of the galaxies as a function of Supergalactic latitude SGB show signs of Virgocentric infall at and motion from the Local Void at . A half of the Hercules-Bootes galaxies belong to 17 groups and 29 pairs, with the richest group around NGC5353. A typical group is characterized by the velocity dispersion of km s, the harmonic radius of kpc, the stellar mass of and the virial-to-stellar mass ratio of . The binary galaxies have the mean radial velocity difference of km s, the projected separation of kpc, the mean integral stellar mass of and the mean virial-to-stellar mass ratio of about . The total dark-matter-to-stellar mass ratio in the considered sky region amounts to being almost the same as that in the Local Volume.
