英文摘要We determine cross-correlation function between galaxies and galaxy groups, using both the Two-Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Groups are identified using the halo-based group finder developed by Yang et al., which is optimized to associate to a group those galaxies which belong to the same dark matter halo. Our galaxy-group cross-correlation function is therefore a surrogate for the galaxy-halo cross-correlation function. We study the cross-correlation as a function of group mass, and as a function of the luminosity, stellar mass, colour, spectral type and specific star formation rate of the galaxies. All these cross-correlation functions show a clear transition from the 'one-halo' to the 'two-halo' regimes on a scale comparable to the virial radius of the groups under consideration. On scales larger than the virial radius, all cross-correlation functions are roughly parallel, consistent with the linear bias model. In particular, the large-scale correlation amplitudes are higher for more massive groups, and for brighter and redder galaxies. In the 'one-halo' regime, the cross-correlation function depends strongly on the definition of the group centre. We consider both a luminosity-weighted centre (LW centre) and a centre defined by the location of the brightest group galaxy (BG centre). With the first definition, the bright early-type galaxies in massive groups are found to be more centrally concentrated than the fainter, late-type galaxies. Using the BG centre, and excluding the brightest galaxy from the cross-correlation analysis, we only find significant segregation in massive groups (M greater than or similar to 10(13)h(-1) M-circle dot) for galaxies of different spectral types (or colours or specific star formation rates). In haloes with masses less than or similar to 10(13)h(-1) M-circle dot, there is a significant deficit of bright satellite galaxies. Comparing the results from the 2dFGRS with those obtained from realistic mock samples, we find that the distribution of galaxies in groups is much less concentrated than dark matter haloes predicted by the current Lambda CDM model.
