用奇异加速度绘制银河系引力势

Mapping the galactic gravitational potential with peculiar acceleration

Claudia Quercellini, Luca Amendola, Amedeo Balbi

摘要:

最近有人提出,宇宙学红移的变化(膨胀的桑德奇检验)可以在下一代大型望远镜和超稳定摄谱仪中观察到。在最近的一篇论文中,我们估计了邻近星系和星系团的奇特速度的变化,即奇特加速度,并表明它与典型的宇宙学信号处于同一数量级。绘制加速度场可以在不假设维里化的情况下重建银河系的引力势。在本文中,我们专注于在我们自己的银河系,模拟为一个Kuzmin盘和一个暗物质球晕的特殊加速度。我们估计了所有已知的银河系球状星团的特殊加速度,并发现一些情况下,预期的速度变化超过20厘米/秒的观测间隔15年,远高于典型的宇宙学加速度。然后,我们比较预测的信号MOND(修改后的牛顿动力学)模型中的球形暗物质晕是不存在的。我们发现,信号模式是定性的不同,表明特殊的加速度场可以用来测试竞争理论的引力。然而,这种差异似乎太小,在不久的将来无法检测到。

英文摘要:

It has been suggested recently that the change in cosmological redshift (the Sandage test of expansion) could be observed in the next generation of large telescopes and ultra-stable spectrographs. In a recent paper we estimated the change of peculiar velocity, i.e. the peculiar acceleration, in nearby galaxies and clusters and shown it to be of the same order of magnitude as the typical cosmological signal. Mapping the acceleration field allows for a reconstruction of the galactic gravitational potential without assuming virialization. In this paper we focus on the peculiar acceleration in our own Galaxy, modeled as a Kuzmin disc and a dark matter spherical halo. We estimate the peculiar acceleration for all known Galactic globular clusters and find some cases with an expected velocity shift in excess of 20 cm/sec for observations fifteen years apart, well above the typical cosmological acceleration. We then compare the predicted signal for a MOND (modified Newtonian dynamics) model in which the spherical dark matter halo is absent. We find that the signal pattern is qualitatively different, showing that the peculiar acceleration field could be employed to test competing theories of gravity. However the difference seems too small to be detectable in the near future.
