S0和具有方形凸起的螺旋星系的轴对称质量模型:质光比、暗物质和棒

Axisymmetric mass models of S0 and spiral galaxies with boxy bulges: mass-to-light ratios, dark matter and bars

Michael J. Williams, Martin Bureau, Michele Cappellari

摘要:

我们研究了一个样本的30个边缘上的螺旋和S 0星系,有四方形和花生形的凸起。我们计算模型恒星运动学求解金斯方程的轴对称质量分布来自K波段图像。这些简单的模型只有一个自由参数:动态质光比,我们假设它与半径无关。考虑到建模过程的简单性,在我们的运动学数据范围内,模型二阶速度矩与观测到的恒星运动学非常吻合,通常达到~ 0.5-1 R25(其中R25是光学半径),或相当于2-3 Re(其中Re是有效或半光半径)。因此,我们没有发现任何证据的主要暗物质组成部分内的光盘螺旋星系。我们样本中的S 0也是如此,这大大扩展了以前对这些星系中暗物质的观测限制。预测的运动学确实略有偏离,但系统地从大多数星系的凸起区域的观测,但我们认为,这是一致的,四四方方的和花生状的凸起是酒吧的边缘上观看的索赔。

英文摘要:

We examine a sample of 30 edge-on spiral and S0 galaxies that have boxy and peanut-shaped bulges. We compute model stellar kinematics by solving the Jeans equations for axisymmetric mass distributions derived from K-band images. These simple models have only one free parameter: the dynamical mass-to-light ratio, which we assume is independent of radius. Given the simplicity of the modelling procedure, the model second velocity moments are strikingly good fits to the observed stellar kinematics within the extent of our kinematic data, which typically reach ~ 0.5-1 R25 (where R25 is the optical radius), or equivalently 2-3 Re (where Re is the effective or half-light radius). We therefore find no evidence for a dominant dark matter component within the optical disk of spiral galaxies. This is equally true of the S0s in our sample, which significantly extends previous observational constraints on dark matter in these galaxies. The predicted kinematics do deviate slightly but systematically from the observations in the bulge region of most galaxies, but we argue that this is consistent with the claim that boxy and peanut-shaped bulges are bars viewed edge-on.
