在SDSS和修正的重力模型中卫星星系的速度弥散

Satellite galaxy velocity dispersions in the SDSS and modified gravity models

J. W. Moffat, V. T. Toth

摘要:

斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)提供了数十万个星系的数据。这些星系在天空中的精确位置,以及它们的光度和视线(多普勒)速度的信息,使人们能够构建它们位置的三维地图,并估计它们的视线速度色散。这些信息,原则上,允许一个测试动力学引力模型,特别是卫星星系的速度分散模型附近的大质量主机。一个关键的困难是区分真正的卫星和闯入者。我们回避这个问题,不试图从数据中推导出卫星星系的速度分散,而是将一个闯入者的背景纳入数学模型,并将结果与实际数据进行比较。我们发现,由于闯入者的存在,这是不可能的,以排除几个引力理论的基础上的SDSS数据。

英文摘要:

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) provides data on several hundred thousand galaxies. Precise location of these galaxies in the sky, along with information about their luminosities and line-of-sight (Doppler) velocities allows one to construct a three-dimensional map of their location and estimate their line-of-sight velocity dispersion. This information, in principle, allows one to test dynamical gravity models, specifically models of satellite galaxy velocity dispersions near massive hosts. A key difficulty is the separation of true satellites from interlopers. We sidestep this problem by not attempting to derive satellite galaxy velocity dispersions from the data, but instead incorporate an interloper background into the mathematical models and compare the result to the actual data. We find that due to the presence of interlopers, it is not possible to exclude several gravitational theories on the basis of the SDSS data.
