摘要:

我们介绍了一个全面的分析,多历元恒星的视线速度,以确定银河系的超微弱卫星的固有速度色散。我们的方法包括一个同时贝叶斯分析的成员资格概率和二进制轨道运动的贡献,观察到的速度分散在一个14参数的可能性。将我们的方法应用于Segue 1矮星系,得到Segue 1是一个高概率的暗物质主导星系,其内禀速度色散为3.7^{+1.4}-1.1} km/sec.产生这种色散所需的暗物质晕必须在一个包含星系一半恒星光度的球体内具有2.5^{+4.1}_{-1.9}太阳质量/pc ^3的平均密度。这是本星系群中最高密度的暗物质。我们的研究结果表明,Segue 1中的恒星中有很大一部分可能是双星,其最可能的平均周期接近10年,但也与太阳附近180年的平均周期一致。尽管如此,Segue 1是一个具有观测到的双星轨道运动引起的速度色散的束缚星团的可能性,在大于99%C. L.的多历元恒星速度数据中是不支持的。最后,我们的处理产生了一个投影的(二维)半光半径为28^{+5}_{-4} pc的Segue 1的恒星轮廓,在良好的协议与测光测量。

英文摘要:

We introduce a comprehensive analysis of multi-epoch stellar line-of-sight velocities to determine the intrinsic velocity dispersion of the ultrafaint satellites of the Milky Way. Our method includes a simultaneous Bayesian analysis of both membership probabilities and the contribution of binary orbital motion to the observed velocity dispersion within a 14-parameter likelihood. We apply our method to the Segue 1 dwarf galaxy and conclude that Segue 1 is a dark-matter-dominated galaxy at high probability with an intrinsic velocity dispersion of 3.7^{+1.4}_{-1.1} km/sec. The dark matter halo required to produce this dispersion must have an average density of 2.5^{+4.1}_{-1.9} solar mass/pc^3 within a sphere that encloses half the galaxy's stellar luminosity. This is the highest measured density of dark matter in the Local Group. Our results show that a significant fraction of the stars in Segue 1 may be binaries with the most probable mean period close to 10 years, but also consistent with the 180 year mean period seen in the solar vicinity at about 1 sigma. Despite this binary population, the possibility that Segue 1 is a bound star cluster with the observed velocity dispersion arising from the orbital motion of binary stars is disfavored by the multi-epoch stellar velocity data at greater than 99% C.L. Finally, our treatment yields a projected (two-dimensional) half-light radius for the stellar profile of Segue 1 of 28^{+5}_{-4} pc, in excellent agreement with photometric measurements.
