摘要:

我们描述了一种新的技术来测量恒星的运动学和线强度在大半径附近的星系。利用积分场摄谱仪SAURON作为“光子收集器”,我们获得了早型星系NGC 3379的四个有效半径(Re)的光谱。通过拟合基于轨道的模型提取的恒星速度剖面,我们发现,~40%的总质量在5 Re是黑暗的。测得的吸收线强度揭示了一个径向梯度与恒定的斜率到4 Re。

英文摘要:

We describe a new technique to measure stellar kinematics and line-strengths at large radii in nearby galaxies. Using the integral-field spectrograph SAURON as a 'photon-collector', we obtain spectra out to four effective radii (Re) in the early-type galaxy NGC 3379. By fitting orbit-based models to the extracted stellar velocity profile, we find that ~40% of the total mass within 5 Re is dark. The measured absorption line-strengths reveal a radial gradient with constant slope out to 4 Re.
