摘要:

我们提出了哈勃太空望远镜的成像和光谱观测的三个Brilliant星系团星系团,Abell 1836-BCG,Abell 2052-BCG,和Abell 3565-BCG,获得的宽视场和行星相机2,先进的相机调查和空间望远镜成像光谱仪。这些数据提供了关于恒星组成部分的结构和质量分布、尘埃光学厚度以及每个星系最内部区域内电离气体的空间分布和运动学的详细信息。动力学模型,其中占所观察到的恒星质量分布,并包括一个中心的超大质量黑洞(SBH)的贡献,构建再现运动学来自Halpha和[N II](λ 6548,6583)发射线。对于Abell 1836-BCG和Abell 3565-BCG,分别获得了M_bh=3.61(+0.41,-0.50)x10^9 M_sun和M_bh=1.34(+0.21,-0.19)x10^9 M_sun的安全SBH检测,其显示出规则的旋转曲线和强的中心速度梯度。在Abell 2052-BCG的例子中,缺乏有序的旋转运动阻碍了可靠的确定,尽管可以将M_bh < 4.60x10^9 M_sun的上限放在中心SBH的质量上。这些测量代表了SBH质量函数的高质量端的表征向前迈出的重要一步。

英文摘要:

We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging and spectroscopic observations of three Brightest Cluster Galaxies, Abell 1836-BCG, Abell 2052-BCG, and Abell 3565-BCG, obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2, the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. The data provide detailed information on the structure and mass profile of the stellar component, the dust optical depth, and the spatial distribution and kinematics of the ionized gas within the innermost region of each galaxy. Dynamical models, which account for the observed stellar mass profile and include the contribution of a central supermassive black hole (SBH), are constructed to reproduce the kinematics derived from the Halpha and [N II](lambda 6548,6583) emission lines. Secure SBH detection with M_bh=3.61(+0.41,-0.50)x10^9 M_sun and M_bh=1.34(+0.21,-0.19)x10^9 M_sun, respectively, are obtained for Abell 1836-BCG and Abell 3565-BCG, which show regular rotation curves and strong central velocity gradients. In the case of Abell 2052-BCG, the lack of an orderly rotational motion prevents a secure determination, although an upper limit of M_bh < 4.60x10^9 M_sun can be placed on the mass of the central SBH. These measurements represent an important step forward in the characterization of the high-mass end of the SBH mass function.
