摘要:

对局部ETG和基本面的动力学研究表明,M/L比对光度(和恒星质量)有很强的依赖性,关系式为$M/L \propto L^γ$。$γ$的“倾斜”可能是由多种因素引起的,包括恒星星族特性、IMF、转动支持、光度剖面的非同调性和暗物质(DM)分数。我们使用来自Prugniel & Simien(1997)的本地ETG的大型统一数据集来评估所有这些因素的影响。我们特别注意估计恒星质量,使用一般的恒星形成历史,并比较不同的人口合成模型。我们发现恒星的M/L对倾斜的贡献很小。我们估计的总M/L使用简单的牛仔裤动力学模型,并发现,采用准确的光度分布是很重要的,但并没有删除需要一个额外的倾斜组件,我们归因于DM。我们调查DM分数的趋势在一个有效半径内,发现它是大致恒定的星系比$M_B \sim -20.5$暗淡,并增加亮度的明亮的星系,我们检测到S 0之间没有显着差异和快速和缓慢旋转的椭圆。我们建立了简化的宇宙质量模型,并找到了一般的一致性,DM过渡点是由光度和有效半径之间的关系的变化。一个更精细的模型与不同的星系恒星形成效率表明,从总质量分布(包括DM)的暗淡的星系分布类似的光,近等温配置文件的明亮的星系的过渡。这些结论是敏感的各种系统的不确定性,我们详细调查,但在更大的半径与动力学研究的结果是一致的。

英文摘要:

Dynamical studies of local ETGs and the Fundamental Plane point to a strong dependence of M/L ratio on luminosity (and stellar mass) with a relation of the form $M/L \propto L^γ$. The "tilt" $γ$ may be caused by various factors, including stellar population properties, IMF, rotational support, luminosity profile non-homology and dark matter (DM) fraction. We evaluate the impact of all these factors using a large uniform dataset of local ETGs from Prugniel & Simien (1997). We take particular care in estimating the stellar masses, using a general star formation history, and comparing different population synthesis models. We find that the stellar M/L contributes little to the tilt. We estimate the total M/L using simple Jeans dynamical models, and find that adopting accurate luminosity profiles is important but does not remove the need for an additional tilt component, which we ascribe to DM. We survey trends of the DM fraction within one effective radius, finding it to be roughly constant for galaxies fainter than $M_B \sim -20.5$, and increasing with luminosity for the brighter galaxies; we detect no significant differences among S0s and fast- and slow-rotating ellipticals. We construct simplified cosmological mass models and find general consistency, where the DM transition point is caused by a change in the relation between luminosity and effective radius. A more refined model with varying galaxy star formation efficiency suggests a transition from total mass profiles (including DM) of faint galaxies distributed similarly to the light, to near-isothermal profiles for the bright galaxies. These conclusions are sensitive to various systematic uncertainties which we investigate in detail, but are consistent with the results of dynamics studies at larger radii.
