摘要:

研究了z = 0.206的早型透镜星系SDSS J 0728 +3835的内部动力学结构。分析是基于二维运动学地图延伸到1.7有效半径从凯克光谱学,透镜几何和从多波段哈勃太空望远镜成像获得的恒星质量估计。数据建模的假设下的轴对称支持的两个积分分布函数(DF),通过应用相结合的引力透镜和恒星动力学代码CAULDRON,并产生高质量的约束在宇宙学红移的早期型星系。将总密度分布模拟为rhotot ~ 1/r^{gamma}的幂律分布,我们发现它几乎是等温的(对数斜率gamma = 2.08^{+0.04}-0.02}),而且相当平坦(轴比q = 0.60^{+0.08}-0.03})。该星系是轻度各向异性的(δ = 0.08 +/- 0.02),并显示出相当数量的旋转支持,特别是朝向外部区域。我们确定的有效半径内的暗物质分数下限为28%。恒星的总质量分布的贡献是接近最大的Chabrier初始质量函数(IMF),而对于Salpeter IMF的恒星质量超过星系内部区域的总质量。我们发现,NFW的暗物质晕与最大重新缩放的发光配置文件的组合提供了一个非常好的适合在一个广泛的径向范围内的总质量分布。我们的研究结果证实并扩展了SLACS对速度色散相当的早型星系(sigma_SDSS = 214 +/- 11 km/s)的调查结果。J 0728的内部结构与SAURON项目测量的速度色散相当的本地早期型星系一致,表明在过去的20亿年中缺乏演化。

英文摘要:

We study the internal dynamical structure of the early-type lens galaxy SDSS J0728+3835 at z = 0.206. The analysis is based on two-dimensional kinematic maps extending out to 1.7 effective radii obtained from Keck spectroscopy, on lensing geometry and on stellar mass estimates obtained from multiband Hubble Space Telescope imaging. The data are modelled under the assumptions of axial symmetry supported by a two-integral distribution function (DF), by applying the combined gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics code CAULDRON, and yielding high-quality constraints for an early-type galaxy at cosmological redshifts. Modelling the total density profile as a power-law of the form rho_tot ~ 1/r^{gamma}, we find that it is nearly isothermal (logarithmic slope gamma = 2.08^{+0.04}_{-0.02}), and quite flattened (axial ratio q = 0.60^{+0.08}_{-0.03}). The galaxy is mildly anisotropic (delta = 0.08 +/- 0.02) and shows a fair amount of rotational support, in particular towards the outer regions. We determine a dark matter fraction lower limit of 28 per cent within the effective radius. The stellar contribution to the total mass distribution is close to maximal for a Chabrier initial mass function (IMF), whereas for a Salpeter IMF the stellar mass exceeds the total mass within the galaxy inner regions. We find that the combination of a NFW dark matter halo with the maximally rescaled luminous profile provides a remarkably good fit to the total mass distribution over a broad radial range. Our results confirm and expand the findings of the SLACS survey for early-type galaxies of comparable velocity dispersion (sigma_SDSS = 214 +/- 11 km/s). The internal structure of J0728 is consistent with that of local early-type galaxies of comparable velocity dispersion as measured by the SAURON project, suggesting lack of evolution in the past two billion years.
