摘要:

本文介绍了星系NGC 4382(M85)的HST STIS观测结果,并利用该星系的轴对称模型确定了该星系的质光比(M/L,V波段)和中心黑洞质量(M_BH)。我们发现M/L = 3.74 +/- 0.1(太阳单位)和M_BH = 1.3(+5.2,-1.2)\times 10^7 M_sun,假设距离为17.9 Mpc,与没有黑洞的情况一致。上限M_BH < 9.6 \times 10^7 M_sun(2σ)或M_BH < 1.4 \times 10^8 M_sun(3σ)与当前的M-σ关系式一致,该关系式预测在σ_e = 182 km/s时M_BH = 8.8 \times 10^7 M_sun,但对于当前的M-L关系式来说较低,它预测在L_V = 8.9 \times 10^10 L_sun,V时,M_BH = 7.8 \times 10^8 M_sun。HST图像显示该星系的核是双层的,这表明存在一个核偏心星盘,类似于M31中的特里梅因星盘。这一结论得到了HST速度频散剖面的支持。尽管存在这种非轴对称特征和最近合并的证据,我们得出结论,我们的黑洞质量测定的可靠性并不受阻碍。推断出的低黑洞质量可能解释了核活动的缺乏。

英文摘要:

We present HST STIS observations of the galaxy NGC 4382 (M85) and axisymmetric models of the galaxy to determine mass-to-light ration (M/L, V-band) and central black hole mass (M_BH). We find M/L = 3.74 +/- 0.1 (solar units) and M_BH = 1.3 (+5.2, -1.2) \times 10^7 M_sun at an assumed distance of 17.9 Mpc, consistent with no black hole. The upper limit, M_BH < 9.6 \times 10^7 M_sun (2σ) or M_BH < 1.4 \times 10^8 M_sun (3σ) is consistent with the current M-σ relation, which predicts M_BH = 8.8 \times 10^7 M_sun at σ_e = 182 km/s, but low for the current M-L relation, which predicts M_BH = 7.8 \times 10^8 M_sun at L_V = 8.9 \times 10^10 L_sun,V. HST images show the nucleus to be double, suggesting the presence of a nuclear eccentric stellar disk, in analogy to the Tremaine disk in M31. This conclusion is supported by the HST velocity dispersion profile. Despite the presence of this non-axisymmetric feature and evidence of a recent merger, we conclude that the reliability of our black hole mass determination is not hindered. The inferred low black hole mass may explain the lack of nuclear activity.
