摘要:

星系团是探测重子和暗物质在大范围尺度上分布的理想场所。我们研究了一个样本的7个大规模的,放松的星系团与位于中心的最亮的星系团(BCGs)在z=0.2-0.3。利用强、弱引力透镜的观测工具,结合BCG内已分辨的恒星运动学,我们测量了包括暗物质和重子物质在内的~3-3000 kpc尺度的总径向密度剖面。Lensing导出的质量分布通常与独立的X射线估计值在~ 15%内一致,这表明与流体静力平衡的偏离很小,并且我们样品中的星系团(除了A383)沿着视线没有被强烈拉长。在r/r200=0.003-0.03范围内测量的总密度分布的内对数斜率gamma_tot,其中rho_tot ~ r^(-gamma_tot),被发现几乎是普遍的,平均值<gamma_tot>= 1.16 +- 0.05(随机)+0.05-0.07(系统),内在分散度&lt; 0.13(68%置信度)。这是进一步支持的非常均匀的形状所观察到的速度色散曲线,通过凯克光谱,这是相互一致的简单缩放后得到的。值得注意的是,这个斜率与只包含暗物质的数值模拟非常一致,尽管恒星质量对我们探测的尺度有显著的贡献。无碰撞冷暗物质的Navarro-Frenk-White剖面特征比单独的暗物质剖面特征更好地描述了半径&gt; 5-10 kpc的总质量密度。流体动力学模拟包括重子,冷却和反馈目前提供了一个较差的匹配。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的意义,了解组装的BCGs和集群的核心,特别是重子的影响内DM晕。[删节]

英文摘要:

Clusters of galaxies are excellent locations to probe the distribution of baryons and dark matter (DM) over a wide range of scales. We study a sample of seven massive, relaxed galaxy clusters with centrally-located brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) at z=0.2-0.3. Using the observational tools of strong and weak gravitational lensing, combined with resolved stellar kinematics within the BCG, we measure the total radial density profile, comprising both dark and baryonic matter, over scales of ~3-3000 kpc. Lensing-derived mass profiles typically agree with independent X-ray estimates within ~15%, suggesting that departures from hydrostatic equilibrium are small and that the clusters in our sample (except A383) are not strongly elongated along the line of sight. The inner logarithmic slope gamma_tot of the total density profile measured over r/r200=0.003-0.03, where rho_tot ~ r^(-gamma_tot), is found to be nearly universal, with a mean <gamma_tot> = 1.16 +- 0.05 (random) +0.05-0.07 (systematic) and an intrinsic scatter of < 0.13 (68% confidence). This is further supported by the very homogeneous shape of the observed velocity dispersion profiles, obtained via Keck spectroscopy, which are mutually consistent after a simple scaling. Remarkably, this slope agrees closely with numerical simulations that contain only dark matter, despite the significant contribution of stellar mass on the scales we probe. The Navarro-Frenk-White profile characteristic of collisionless cold dark matter is a better description of the total mass density at radii >~ 5-10 kpc than that of dark matter alone. Hydrodynamical simulations that include baryons, cooling, and feedback currently provide a poorer match. We discuss the significance of our findings for understanding the assembly of BCGs and cluster cores, particularly the influence of baryons on the inner DM halo. [abridged]
