SDSS J1004 +4112的质量分布

The Mass Distribution of SDSS J1004+4112 Revisited

Masamune Oguri

摘要:

利用新开发的引力透镜软件对SDSS J1004+4112进行了强透镜分析。SDSS J1004 +4112是一个由z=0.68的大质量星系团产生的独特的类星体透镜。我们发现,我们的参数质量模型很好地再现了所有的观测,包括类星体图像的位置,以及与测量光谱红移,类星体图像之间的时间延迟,和微弱的中央图像的位置的多重成像星系。预测的总放大率为μ~ 70,这表明透镜系统确实是研究遥远类星体及其宿主星系精细结构的有用场所。暗晕分量被发现是单峰集中在最亮的星系团和钱德拉X射线表面亮度轮廓。此外,晕分量的方向与最亮星系团和成员星系的分布方向相当一致,这意味着透镜星系团是一个松弛系统。最佳拟合质量模型的径向分布与从X射线观测推断的质量分布非常一致。虽然暗晕分量的内部径向斜率与-1一致,但预测的A-D时间延迟对斜率的明显依赖性表明,额外的时间延迟测量将改善对质量模型的约束。

英文摘要:

We present a strong lens analysis of SDSS J1004+4112, a unique quasar lens produced by a massive cluster of galaxies at z=0.68, using a newly developed software for gravitational lensing. We find that our parametric mass model well reproduces all observations including the positions of quasar images as well as those of multiply imaged galaxies with measured spectroscopic redshifts, time delays between quasar images, and the positions of faint central images. The predicted large total magnification of μ~ 70 suggests that the lens system is indeed a useful site for studying the fine structure of a distant quasar and its host galaxy. The dark halo component is found to be unimodal centered on the brightest cluster galaxy and the Chandra X-ray surface brightness profile. In addition, the orientation of the halo component is quite consistent with those of the brightest cluster galaxy and member galaxy distribution, implying that the lensing cluster is a relaxed system. The radial profile of the best-fit mass model is in good agreement with a mass profile inferred from the X-ray observation. While the inner radial slope of the dark halo component is consistent with being -1, a clear dependence of the predicted A-D time delay on the slope indicates that an additional time delay measurement will improve constraints on the mass model.
