大质量早型星系内区暗物质晕的平均密度剖面

On the average density profile of dark-matter halos in the inner regions of massive early-type galaxies

C. Grillo

摘要:

我们研究了39个红移z < 0.3的大质量早型透镜星系的样本,以确定最内层区域平均暗物质密度分布的斜率。我们保持强透镜和恒星星族合成模型尽可能简单的测量星系总质量和发光质量。通过将星系的爱因斯坦半径和暗物质投影质量的值与星系的有效发光半径和质量的值进行重新标度,我们合并了样本中所有星系的数据。我们发现,在有效半径值的0.3和0.9倍之间,暗物质投影密度分布的平均对数斜率为-1.0 +/-0.2(即,近似等温)或-0.7 +/-0.5(即,浅于等温),如果,分别,一个恒定的Chabrier或更重,Salpeter-like恒星IMF被采用。这些结果提供了积极的证据的影响的重子分量的星系暗物质晕的收缩,相比的预测暗物质-只有宇宙学模拟,并打开一个新的方式来测试模型的结构形成和演化的标准LCDM宇宙学方案。

英文摘要:

We study a sample of 39 massive early-type lens galaxies at redshift z < 0.3 to determine the slope of the average dark-matter density profile in the innermost regions. We keep the strong lensing and stellar population synthesis modeling as simple as possible to measure the galaxy total and luminous masses. By rescaling the values of the Einstein radius and dark-matter projected mass with the values of the luminous effective radius and mass, we combine all the data of the galaxies in the sample. We find that between 0.3 and 0.9 times the value of the effective radius the average logarithmic slope of the dark-matter projected density profile is -1.0 +/- 0.2 (i.e., approximately isothermal) or -0.7 +/- 0.5 (i.e., shallower than isothermal), if, respectively, a constant Chabrier or heavier, Salpeter-like stellar IMF is adopted. These results provide positive evidence of the influence of the baryonic component on the contraction of the galaxy dark-matter halos, compared to the predictions of dark matter-only cosmological simulations, and open a new way to test models of structure formation and evolution within the standard LCDM cosmological scenario.
