摘要:

我们扩展我们的分析暗物质(DM)的分布在轻松的集群的情况下,阿贝尔383,发光的X射线集群在z=0.189与一个占主导地位的中央星系和许多强透镜功能。继我们以前的论文,我们结合强,弱透镜约束与哈勃太空望远镜和斯巴鲁成像与径向配置文件的恒星速度分散的中央星系,分离的重子质量分布在集群核心的关键。钱德拉X射线观测的流体静力学质量估计进一步限制了解决方案。这些组合的数据集提供了几乎连续的限制,从2千秒差距到1.5百万秒差距的半径,允许严格的测试结果,从最近的数值模拟。在我们的数据和分析中,有两个关键的改进,使得这一结果成为小尺度下DM密度剖面ρ_DM ~ r^-β斜率较浅的最可靠的情况。首先,根据深凯克光谱,我们已经获得了恒星速度色散曲线的半径为26千秒差距的第一次在一个透镜集群。其次,我们通过采用三轴DM分布和轴对称动力学模型改进了我们以前的分析。我们证明,在这个非常好的约束系统中,DM密度在小半径处的对数斜率为β< 1.0(95%置信度)。为了使我们的观测结果与最近的高分辨率模拟结果相一致,改进重子物理学的处理方法是必要的,但可能还不够。

英文摘要:

We extend our analyses of the dark matter (DM) distribution in relaxed clusters to the case of Abell 383, a luminous X-ray cluster at z=0.189 with a dominant central galaxy and numerous strongly-lensed features. Following our earlier papers, we combine strong and weak lensing constraints secured with Hubble Space Telescope and Subaru imaging with the radial profile of the stellar velocity dispersion of the central galaxy, essential for separating the baryonic mass distribution in the cluster core. Hydrostatic mass estimates from Chandra X-ray observations further constrain the solution. These combined datasets provide nearly continuous constraints extending from 2 kpc to 1.5 Mpc in radius, allowing stringent tests of results from recent numerical simulations. Two key improvements in our data and its analysis make this the most robust case yet for a shallow slope βof the DM density profile ρ_DM ~ r^-βon small scales. First, following deep Keck spectroscopy, we have secured the stellar velocity dispersion profile to a radius of 26 kpc for the first time in a lensing cluster. Secondly, we improve our previous analysis by adopting a triaxial DM distribution and axisymmetric dynamical models. We demonstate that in this remarkably well-constrained system, the logarithmic slope of the DM density at small radii is β< 1.0 (95% confidence). An improved treatment of baryonic physics is necessary, but possibly insufficient, to reconcile our observations with the recent results of high-resolution simulations.
