摘要:

我们探讨如何以及拥挤的领域点源测光可以完成与SDSS数据:我们提出了一个光度管道的基础上DoPhot,并调整用于分析拥挤的领域图像从SDSS。利用蒙特卡罗模拟,我们表明,源提取的完整性是80%以上,以i < 21(AB)和恒星表面密度约200平方米。因此,专门的数据管道可以有效地用于例如SDSS图像中的附近解析星系,其中标准SDSS光度测量包Photo在正常测量模式下应用时给出较差的结果。我们将我们的管道应用于约3.55平方度的区域。围绕矮球状星系Leo I的高信噪比星数图,并通过色星等空间(g,r,i)的优化滤波器构造了Leo I的高信噪比星数图。虽然矮星的径向表面密度分布偏离了最佳拟合的经验金模型,但我们没有发现潮汐碎片的证据,恒星表面密度达到中心值的4*10^(-3)。我们确定了狮子座I的总光度,并使用球形和各向同性的Jeans方程对其质量进行建模。假设“质量跟随光”,我们将dSph的总质量的下限限制为(1.7+/-0.2)*10^7 Msol。相反,如果狮子座I的质量是由一个恒定密度的暗物质晕(DM)所控制,那么中心12'的质量是(2+/-0.6)*10^8 Msol。这导致>>6(Ic_sol)的质光比,并且如果DM晕主导质量并且比12 '延伸得更远,则可能>75。总之,我们的结果表明,狮子座I是一个对称的,放松和约束系统,这支持了狮子座I是一个暗物质主导的系统的想法。

英文摘要:

We explore how well crowded field point-source photometry can be accomplished with SDSS data: We present a photometric pipeline based on DoPhot, and tuned for analyzing crowded-field images from the SDSS. Using Monte Carlo simulations we show that the completeness of source extraction is above 80% to i < 21 (AB) and a stellar surface density of about 200 sq.amin. Hence, a specialized data pipeline can efficiently be used for e.g. nearby resolved galaxies in SDSS images, where the standard SDSS photometric package Photo, when applied in normal survey mode, gives poor results. We apply our pipeline to an area of about 3.55sq.deg. around the dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) Leo I, and construct a high S/N star-count map of Leo I via an optimized filter in color-magnitude space (g,r,i). Although the radial surface-density profile of the dwarf deviates from the best fit empirical King model towards outer radii, we find no evidence for tidal debris out to a stellar surface-density of 4*10^(-3) of the central value. We determine the total luminosity of Leo I, and model its mass using the spherical and isotropic Jeans equation. Assuming that 'mass follows light' we constrain a lower limit of the total mass of the dSph to be (1.7+/-0.2)*10^7 Msol. Contrary, if the mass in Leo I is dominated by a constant density dark-matter (DM) halo, then the mass within the central 12' is (2+/-0.6)*10^8 Msol. This leads to a mass-to-light ratio of >>6 (Ic_sol), and possibly >75 if the DM halo dominates the mass and extends further out than 12'. In summary, our results show that Leo I is a symmetric, relaxed and bound system; this supports the idea that Leo I is a dark-matter dominated system.
