星系晕中的微透镜现象

Microlensing in Galactic Halos

S. Calchi Novati

摘要:

在寻找大质量致密晕天体(MACHO)形式的星系晕中暗物质的框架下,讨论了麦哲伦云和仙女座星系M31的微透镜观测状况。据报道,已经检测到了一些微透镜事件,但尚未就MACHO形式的晕轮含量得出明确的结论。为了阐明这一重要的天体物理问题,必须对预期信号进行更详细的建模,并对观测到的事件进行更大规模的统计。

英文摘要:

In the framework of the search of dark matter in galactic halos in form of massive compact halo object (MACHOs), we discuss the status of microlensing observations towards the Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda galaxy, M31. The detection of a few microlensing events has been reported, but an unambiguous conclusion on the halo content in form on MACHOs has not been reached yet. A more detailed modelling of the expected signal and a larger statistics of observed events are mandatory in order to shed light on this important astrophysical issue.
