摘要:

利用高分辨率(HST ACS-HRC、ACS-WFC和WFPC 2)和宽视场(ESO-WFI)观测资料,对球状星团NGC 6388进行了观测,得到了它的重心、投影密度分布和中心表面亮度分布。虽然总体投影轮廓与具有中等浓度(c=1.8)和相当大的核心半径(rc=7”)的King模型很好地拟合,但在内部1角秒内检测到与平坦核心行为的显著幂律(斜率α=-0.2)偏差。这些性质表明存在一个中心的中等质量的黑洞。所观察到的轮廓很好地再现了一个多质量各向同性,球形模型,包括一个黑洞的质量约为5.7 × 10^3 Msol。

英文摘要:

We have used a combination of high resolution (HST ACS-HRC, ACS-WFC, and WFPC2) and wide-field (ESO-WFI) observations of the galactic globular cluster NGC 6388 to derive its center of gravity, projected density profile, and central surface brightness profile. While the overall projected profiles are well fit by a King model with intermediate concentration (c=1.8) and sizable core radius (rc=7"), a significant power law (with slope α=-0.2) deviation from a flat core behavior has been detected within the inner 1 arcsecond. These properties suggest the presence of a central intermediate mass black hole. The observed profiles are well reproduced by a multi-mass isotropic, spherical model including a black hole with a mass of ~5.7x10^3 Msol.
