摘要:

人马座矮星系的前身质量是多少?在这里,我们使用SDSS和2 MASS数据重新组装恒星碎片,以找到总光度和可能的质量。我们发现,亮度范围为9.6-13.2 × 10^7太阳光度或M_V ~-15.1 - 15.5,其中70%的光存在于碎片流中。它的前身比现在的小麦哲伦星云要暗一些,亮度可与M31矮球状体NGC 147和NGC 185相媲美。利用宇宙学模型,我们估计在潮汐破裂之前,Sgr的暗物质晕的质量约为10^10太阳质量。

英文摘要:

What is the mass of the progenitor of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy? Here, we reassemble the stellar debris using SDSS and 2MASS data to find the total luminosity and likely mass. We find that the luminosity is in the range 9.6-13.2 x10^7 solar luminosities or M_V ~ -15.1 - 15.5, with 70% of the light residing in the debris streams. The progenitor is somewhat fainter than the present-day Small Magellanic Cloud, and comparable in brightness to the M31 dwarf spheroidals NGC 147 and NGC 185. Using cosmologically motivated models, we estimate that the mass of Sgr's dark matter halo prior to tidal disruption was ~10^10 solar masses.
