摘要:

本文测量了41个中等红移(z ~ 0.4 - 0.9)强引力透镜样品的平均质量特性,并首次给出了其中6个强引力透镜的透镜红移。利用强和弱引力透镜技术对哈勃太空望远镜获得的档案数据进行分析,我们确定透镜的平均质量过密度分布可以用幂律分布拟合(Delta_Sigma与R^{-0.86 +/- 0.16}的比例),在等温曲线的1-sigma范围内(Delta_Sigma prop. to R^{-1}),速度离散sigma_v = 260 +/- 20 km/s。此外,我们使用两个组件的德Vaucouleurs+NFW模型解开的总质量分布到单独的发光和暗物质组件,并确定每个组件的相对分数。我们测量了我们样品的平均静止坐标系V波段恒星质光比(Upgradation_V = 4.0 +/- 0.6 h M_sol/L_sol)和维里质光比(tau_V = 300 +/- 90 h M_sol/L_sol),得到维里与恒星质量比M_vir/M_* = 75 +/- 25。最后,我们将我们的结果与以前使用低红移透镜的研究进行比较,以了解星系质量分布如何随时间演变。我们研究了M_vir/M_*(z)= alpha(1+z)^{beta}的演化,发现最佳拟合参数为alpha = 51 +/- 36和beta = 0.9 +/- 1.8,这限制了维里与恒星质量比在过去的~7千兆亿年中的增长。我们注意到,通过使用强透镜的样本,我们能够限制M_vir/M_*(z)的增长,而不对恒星星族的IMF做任何假设。

英文摘要:

We measure the average mass properties of a sample of 41 strong gravitational lenses at moderate redshift (z ~ 0.4 - 0.9), and present the lens redshift for 6 of these galaxies for the first time. Using the techniques of strong and weak gravitational lensing on archival data obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope, we determine that the average mass overdensity profile of the lenses can be fit with a power-law profile (Delta_Sigma prop. to R^{-0.86 +/- 0.16}) that is within 1-sigma of an isothermal profile (Delta_Sigma prop. to R^{-1}) with velocity dispersion sigma_v = 260 +/- 20 km/s. Additionally, we use a two-component de Vaucouleurs+NFW model to disentangle the total mass profile into separate luminous and dark matter components, and determine the relative fraction of each component. We measure the average rest frame V-band stellar mass-to-light ratio (Upsilon_V = 4.0 +/- 0.6 h M_sol/L_sol) and virial mass-to-light ratio (tau_V = 300 +/- 90 h M_sol/L_sol) for our sample, resulting in a virial-to-stellar mass ratio of M_vir/M_* = 75 +/- 25. Finally, we compare our results to a previous study using low redshift lenses, to understand how galaxy mass profiles evolve over time. We investigate the evolution of M_vir/M_*(z) = alpha(1+z)^{beta}, and find best fit parameters of alpha = 51 +/- 36 and beta = 0.9 +/- 1.8, constraining the growth of virial to stellar mass ratio over the last ~7 Gigayears. We note that, by using a sample of strong lenses, we are able to constrain the growth of M_vir/M_*(z) without making any assumptions about the IMF of the stellar population.
