摘要
Butcher-Oemler效应是探讨团星系演化的一个重要课题,它是Butcher和Oemler于1978年首次提出的。十余年来,对该效应的探究已带动了有关星系团成分和演化的大量实测与理论研究。本文介绍了Butcher-Oemler效应的发现、对它的论证与争议以及迄今提出的各种理论解释。
The Butcher-Oemler effect has been a very attractive topic related to the evolution of cluster galaxies since the Butcher and Oemler's pioneer paper was published in 1978. Comprehensive studies on it have brought on a variety of observational and thepretical works with regard to population and evolution of galaxy clusters. In this article, the discovery, evidences, controversies, and different interpretations concerning this effect are reviewed.
