摘要:

SDSS J120602.09+514229.5是一个引力透镜系统,由一群红移z=0.422的星系对一个红移z=2.001的明亮背景星系形成。这个系统的主要特点是在爱因斯坦半径附近存在一颗发光的卫星,这使得巨大的弧形稍微变形。这使得SDSS J120602.09+514229.5成为测试我们基于网格的贝叶斯透镜建模方法的理想系统,该方法旨在独立于星系卫星的质光比来检测它们,并测量这个矮星系的质量,尽管它的红移很高。多亏了Vegetti和Koopmans 2009 a的像素化源和电位重建技术,我们能够检测到发光卫星作为对整体平滑电位的局部正表面密度校正。假设采用截断的伪贾菲密度剖面,卫星在其潮汐半径r_t=0.68”内的质量为M=(2.75+-0.04 10 ^10 M_sun。我们确定该卫星的光度为L_B=(1.6+-0.8 10 ^9 L_sun),从而得出潮汐半径内的总质光比为(M/L)_B=(17.2+-8.5)M_sun/L_sun。中央星系有一个亚等温的密度分布,一般来说,这是对星系群成员的预期。从SDSS谱中我们得到中心星系在直径为3”的SDSS孔径内的速度色散为sigma_kinem=380 ± 60 km/s。从这个测量中得到的对数密度斜率为伽马=1.7+0.25-0.30(68%CL),与从透镜模型中确定的主导透镜星系伽马的密度斜率在1-sigma范围内一致。本文展示了如何强大的像素化透镜技术是在检测和约束矮卫星在高红移的属性。

英文摘要:

SDSS J120602.09+514229.5 is a gravitational lens system formed by a group of galaxies at redshift z=0.422 lensing a bright background galaxy at redshift z=2.001. The main peculiarity of this system is the presence of a luminous satellite near the Einstein radius, that slightly deforms the giant arc. This makes SDSS J120602.09+514229.5 the ideal system to test our grid-based Bayesian lens modelling method, designed to detect galactic satellites independently from their mass-to-light ratio, and to measure the mass of this dwarf galaxy despite its high redshift. Thanks to the pixelized source and potential reconstruction technique of Vegetti and Koopmans 2009a we are able to detect the luminous satellite as a local positive surface density correction to the overall smooth potential. Assuming a truncated Pseudo-Jaffe density profile, the satellite has a mass M=(2.75+-0.04)10^10 M_sun inside its tidal radius of r_t=0.68". We determine for the satellite a luminosity of L_B=(1.6+-0.8)10^9 L_sun, leading to a total mass-to-light ratio within the tidal radius of (M/L)_B=(17.2+-8.5) M_sun/L_sun. The central galaxy has a sub-isothermal density profile as in general is expected for group members. From the SDSS spectrum we derive for the central galaxy a velocity dispersion of sigma_kinem=380+-60 km/s within the SDSS aperture of diameter 3". The logarithmic density slope of gamma=1.7+0.25-0.30 (68% CL), derived from this measurement, is consistent within 1-sigma with the density slope of the dominant lens galaxy gamma~1.6, determined from the lens model. This paper shows how powerful pixelized lensing techniques are in detecting and constraining the properties of dwarf satellites at high redshift.
