用星系-星系统计量测量暗物质子结构

Measuring Dark Matter Substructure with Galaxy-Galaxy Flexion Statistics

D. J. Bacon, A. Amara, J. I. Read

摘要:

在星系和星系团尺度上测量暗物质晕的亚结构性质具有重要意义。在这里,我们提出了一种方法来约束子结构的性质,在星系星系透镜的背景下使用弱引力弯曲的方差。我们展示了弯曲方差在测量暗物质晕N体模拟中的子结构的有效性,并给出了预期的星系-星系透镜信号。我们表明,该方法的整体星系晕质量的不敏感性,并预测该方法的信号噪声的天基全天空调查,表明存在的子结构下降到10^9 M_ \odot晕可以可靠地检测。

英文摘要:

It is of great interest to measure the properties of substructures in dark matter halos at galactic and cluster scales. Here we suggest a method to constrain substructure properties using the variance of weak gravitational flexion in a galaxy-galaxy lensing context. We show the effectiveness of flexion variance in measuring substructures in N-body simulations of dark matter halos, and present the expected galaxy-galaxy lensing signals. We show the insensitivity of the method to the overall galaxy halo mass, and predict the method's signal-to-noise for a space-based all-sky survey, showing that the presence of substructure down to 10^9 M_\odot halos can be reliably detected.
