摘要:

本文利用超新星Ia的引力放大率来测量暗物质晕的性质。单个Ia超新星的放大率可以用观测到的前景星系的性质和暗物质晕模型来计算。我们将星系的暗物质晕模型化为具有速度色散和截断半径的截断奇异等温球,并服从光度相关标度律。从超新星遗产巡天(SNLS)的前3年中,在红移范围为0.2 < z < 1的175个超新星Ia的均匀选择的样本被用来约束与前景星系相关的暗物质晕模型。最佳拟合的速度色散标度律与星系-星系透镜测量结果吻合得很好。我们进一步发现,被动星系和恒星形成星系的速度色散的归一化分别与经验的Faber-Jackson和Tully-Fisher关系是一致的。如果我们不对这些关系进行归一化,我们发现在92%的置信水平下,数据更倾向于引力透镜。使用最近的尘埃消光模型,我们推断,这种影响对我们的结果是非常小的。我们还研究了超新星Ia由于引力透镜引起的亮度散射。引力透镜散射近似正比于超新星Ia的红移。我们发现比例常数为B = 0.055 + 0.039 - 0.041 mag(在95%的置信水平下B < 0.12 mag)。如果这个模型是正确的,透镜效应对超新星Ia的内在亮度散射的贡献对于SNLS样本来说是很小的。

英文摘要:

This paper exploits the gravitational magnification of SNe Ia to measure properties of dark matter haloes. The magnification of individual SNe Ia can be computed using observed properties of foreground galaxies and dark matter halo models. We model the dark matter haloes of the galaxies as truncated singular isothermal spheres with velocity dispersion and truncation radius obeying luminosity dependent scaling laws. A homogeneously selected sample of 175 SNe Ia from the first 3-years of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1 is used to constrain models of the dark matter haloes associated with foreground galaxies. The best-fitting velocity dispersion scaling law agrees well with galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements. We further find that the normalisation of the velocity dispersion of passive and star forming galaxies are consistent with empirical Faber-Jackson and Tully-Fisher relations, respectively. If we make no assumption on the normalisation of these relations, we find that the data prefer gravitational lensing at the 92 per cent confidence level. Using recent models of dust extinction we deduce that the impact of this effect on our results is very small. We also investigate the brightness scatter of SNe Ia due to gravitational lensing. The gravitational lensing scatter is approximately proportional to the SN Ia redshift. We find the constant of proportionality to be B = 0.055 +0.039 -0.041 mag (B < 0.12 mag at the 95 per cent confidence level). If this model is correct, the contribution from lensing to the intrinsic brightness scatter of SNe Ia is small for the SNLS sample.
