修正引力下星系团的不对称性

Lopsidedness of cluster galaxies in modified gravity

Xufen Wu, HongSheng Zhao, Benoit Famaey

摘要:

我们指出了一个有趣的理论预测椭圆星系内的星系团在修改后的牛顿动力学(MOND)的框架,可以用来测试这种范式。除了中央最亮的星系团星系外,其他离中心足够近的星系受到星系团其他星系的强烈引力影响。这种影响只表现为标准牛顿引力中的潮汐,这意味着星系质心的系统加速度没有影响。然而,在MOND的背景下,强等效原理被打破的结果是系统加速度改变了星系自身的自引力。我们在这里表明,在这个框架中,最初的轴对称椭圆星系成为不平衡沿外场的方向,和星系的质心,由外密度轮廓线定义,是由几百秒差距相对于dennial点。

英文摘要:

We point out an interesting theoretical prediction for elliptical galaxies residing inside galaxy clusters in the framework of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), that could be used to test this paradigm. Apart from the central brightest cluster galaxy, other galaxies close enough to the centre experience a strong gravitational influence from the other galaxies of the cluster. This influence manifests itself only as tides in standard Newtonian gravity, meaning that the systematic acceleration of the centre of mass of the galaxy has no consequence. However, in the context of MOND, a consequence of the breaking of the strong equivalence principle is that the systematic acceleration changes the own self-gravity of the galaxy. We show here that, in this framework, initially axisymmetric elliptical galaxies become lopsided along the external field's direction, and that the centroid of the galaxy, defined by the outer density contours, is shifted by a few hundreds parsecs with respect to the densest point.
