强透镜统计量与尖点/核问题的反馈解之间的矛盾

Contradiction between strong lensing statistics and a feedback solution to the cusp/core problem

Da-Ming Chen, Stacy McGaugh

摘要:

标准宇宙学在大尺度上取得了许多成功,但在小的星系尺度上面临着一些基本的困难。其中一个困难是尖点/核心问题。暗物质为主的低表面亮度(LSB)星系的旋转曲线的高分辨率观测意味着银河系暗物质晕有一个密度分布与平坦的中央核心,而N体结构形成模拟预测的发散(尖)的密度分布在中心。有人提出,这个问题可以解决恒星反馈驱动湍流气体运动,擦除初始尖点。然而,强引力透镜更倾向于星系晕的尖形密度剖面。在本文中,我们使用最新的高分辨率观测的LSB星系的旋转曲线,以适应作为晕质量的函数的核心大小,并比较由此产生的透镜概率的观测结果,定义良好的组合样本的宇宙透镜全天巡天(CLASS)和Jodrell银行/甚大阵天体测量巡天(JVAS)。基于这种密度分布的透镜效应概率太低,无法与CLASS/JVAS中观察到的透镜效应相匹配。星系中的重子密度很高,主导着透镜统计,这可以调和这种差异,但前提是它们使质量分布变陡,而不是变浅。这对重子对星系中心质量分布的影响提出了矛盾的要求。

英文摘要:

Standard cosmology has many successes on large scales, but faces some fundamental difficulties on small, galactic scales. One such difficulty is the cusp/core problem. High resolution observations of the rotation curves for dark matter dominated low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies imply that galactic dark matter halos have a density profile with a flat central core, whereas N-body structure formation simulations predict a divergent (cuspy) density profile at the center. It has been proposed that this problem can be resolved by stellar feedback driving turbulent gas motion that erases the initial cusp. However, strong gravitational lensing prefers a cuspy density profile for galactic halos. In this paper, we use the most recent high resolution observations of the rotation curves of LSB galaxies to fit the core size as a function of halo mass, and compare the resultant lensing probability to the observational results for the well defined combined sample of the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) and Jodrell Bank/Very Large Array Astrometric Survey (JVAS). The lensing probabilities based on such density profiles are too low to match the observed lensing in CLASS/JVAS. High baryon densities in the galaxies that dominate the lensing statistics can reconcile this discrepancy, but only if they steepen the mass profile rather than making it more shallow. This places contradictory demands upon the effects of baryons on the central mass profiles of galaxies.
