摘要:

本文给出了17个后发早型星系的动力学模型。星系样本由扁平的,旋转的以及非旋转的早期类型组成,包括亮度在M=-18.79和M=-22.56之间的cD和S 0星系。运动学长缝观测至少覆盖长轴和短轴,并延伸到1-4个有效半径。轴对称史瓦西模型被用来推导恒星的质光比和暗晕参数。在每一个星系中,有暗物质晕的模型比没有暗物质晕的模型更符合数据。8个星系的统计学显著性超过95%,5个星系的统计学显著性约为90%,而4个星系的统计学显著性不显著。对于高度显着的情况下,观测到的和模拟的运动学之间的系统偏差是清楚地看到的,其余的星系的差异更多的统计性质。最适合的模型包含10- 50%的暗物质在半光半径内。中心的暗物质密度至少比发光物质密度低一个数量级。暗物质的中心相空间密度通常比发光部分低几个数量级,特别是当晕核半径很大时。沿着长轴的恒星轨道系统略微受径向运动的支配。一些星系沿短轴方向表现出切向各向异性,这与短轴的高斯-厄米系数H4相关。改变数据拟合和正则化约束之间的平衡不会显著改变重建的质量结构。模型的各向异性倾向于加强,如果正则化的权重减少,但星系的一般属性是径向或切向各向异性,分别不会改变。(节略)

英文摘要:

Dynamical models for 17 Coma early-type galaxies are presented. The galaxy sample consists of flattened, rotating as well as non-rotating early-types including cD and S0 galaxies with luminosities between M=-18.79 and M=-22.56. Kinematical long-slit observations cover at least the major and minor axis and extend to 1-4 effective radii. Axisymmetric Schwarzschild models are used to derive stellar mass-to-light ratios and dark halo parameters. In every galaxy models with a dark matter halo match the data better than models without. The statistical significance is over 95 percent for 8 galaxies, around 90 percent for 5 galaxies and for four galaxies it is not significant. For the highly significant cases systematic deviations between observed and modelled kinematics are clearly seen; for the remaining galaxies differences are more statistical in nature. Best-fit models contain 10-50 percent dark matter inside the half-light radius. The central dark matter density is at least one order of magnitude lower than the luminous mass density. The central phase-space density of dark matter is often orders of magnitude lower than in the luminous component, especially when the halo core radius is large. The orbital system of the stars along the major-axis is slightly dominated by radial motions. Some galaxies show tangential anisotropy along the minor-axis, which is correlated with the minor-axis Gauss-Hermite coefficient H4. Changing the balance between data-fit and regularisation constraints does not change the reconstructed mass structure significantly. Model anisotropies tend to strengthen if the weight on regularisation is reduced, but the general property of a galaxy to be radially or tangentially anisotropic, respectively, does not change.
