UCD-比允许的更大?

UCDs - more massive than allowed?

摘要:

对天炉座和室女星系团座星系团以及巨大椭圆形的半人马座A周围的超致密矮星系和大质量球状星团的动力学质量估计揭示了一些令人惊讶的结果:1)在10^6 M_sun以上,质量与光(M/L)的比值随天体质量的增加而增加; 2)一些UCD/大质量GC的M/L值(4 ~ 6)与标准的恒星星族模型不相容; 3)在光度-速度色散图中,UCD偏离了“正常”GC的定义关系,更符合早型星系的Faber-Jackson关系。在这篇文章中,我们提出了高质光比的UCD的观测证据,并讨论了可能的解释。

英文摘要:

Dynamical mass estimates of ultra-compact dwarfs galaxies and massive globular clusters in the Fornax and Virgo clusters and around the giant elliptical Cen A have revealed some surprising results: 1) above about 10^6 M_sun the mass-to-light (M/L) ratio increases with the objects' mass; 2) some UCDs/massive GCs show high M/L values (4 to 6) that are not compatible with standard stellar population models; and 3) in the luminosity-velocity dispersion diagram, UCDs deviate from the well defined relation of `normal' GCs, being more in line with the Faber-Jackson relation of early-type galaxies. In this contribution, we present the observational evidences for high mass-to-light ratios of UCDs and discuss possible explanations for them.
