摘要:

在冷暗物质主导的宇宙中,结构形成的理论预测,大质量的星系团是由低质量的暗晕分层合并而成的。利用从全景HST成像数据推断的强和弱引力透镜信号,我们提出了一个高分辨率重建的质量分布在大规模的,透镜星系团Cl 0024 +16。应用星系-星系透镜技术,我们跟踪的命运暗物质subhalos作为一个函数的投影集群中心半径到5百万秒差距,远远超出维里半径。我们报告的第一个检测的统计透镜信号的暗物质subhalos与晚型星系团。一个典型的暗物质子晕,主机的L* 星系的质量增加与预期的潮汐剥离假说的预测集群中心半径。与晚型星系相比,早型星系似乎平均存在于更大质量的暗物质下晕中。我们将我们的发现解释为星系团中通过潮汐剥离进行质量活跃组装的证据。暗物质subhalos的质量函数作为一个函数的投影集群中心半径,相比来自集群的千禧年运行模拟填充星系使用半解析模型的等效质量函数。透镜确定的质量函数的形状是在非常好的协议与来自千禧年运行模拟的subhalo质量函数。然而,模拟subhalos似乎更有效地剥离比透镜观测建议。(节录)

英文摘要:

Theories of structure formation in a cold dark matter dominated Universe predict that massive clusters of galaxies assemble from the hierarchical merging of lower mass subhalos. Exploiting strong and weak gravitational lensing signals inferred from panoramic HST imaging data, we present a high resolution reconstruction of the mass distribution in the massive, lensing cluster Cl0024+16. Applying galaxy-galaxy lensing techniques we track the fate of dark matter subhalos as a function of projected cluster-centric radius out to 5 Mpc, well beyond the virial radius. We report the first detection of the statistical lensing signal of dark matter subhalos associated with late-type galaxies in clusters. The mass of a typical dark matter subhalo that hosts an L* galaxy increases with projected cluster-centric radius in line with expectations from the tidal stripping hypothesis. Early-type galaxies appear to be hosted on average in more massive dark matter subhalos compared to late-type galaxies. We interpret our findings as evidence for the active assembly of mass via tidal stripping in galaxy clusters. The mass function of dark matter subhalos as a function of projected cluster-centric radius, is compared with an equivalent mass function derived from clusters in the Millenium Run simulation populated with galaxies using semi-analytic models. The shape of the lensing determined mass functions are in very good agreement with the subhalo mass functions derived from the Millenium Run simulation. However, simulated subhalos appear to be more efficiently stripped than lensing observations suggest. (Abridged)
