利用自旋3屈曲估计晕的椭圆率

Estimation of halo ellipticity using spin-3 flexion

Xinzhong Er, Matthias Bartelmann

摘要:

在星系或星系团尺度上估计暗物质晕的椭圆率可以对星系或星系团的形成以及暗物质的性质提供重要的限制。我们在本文中表明,自旋3引力弯曲可以增加有用的信息的椭圆透镜晕。我们介绍了一个一般的形式主义分解成径向和切向分量的任意自旋场。切向和径向屈曲分量的比率直接估计晶状体椭圆度。我们指出,任何质心偏移将显着偏置我们的估计,这在另一方面可以用来确定镜头光晕的中心。

英文摘要:

Estimating the ellipticity of dark matter haloes at the galaxy or galaxy-cluster scale can provide important constraints on the formation of galaxies or clusters, as well as on the nature of dark matter. We show in this paper that the spin-3 gravitational flexion can add useful information on the ellipticity of lensing haloes. We introduce a general formalism to decompose fields with arbitrary spin into radial and tangential components. The ratio of the tangential and radial flexion components directly estimates the lens ellipticity. We point out that any centroid offset will significantly bias our estimate, which on the other hand can be used to determine the centre of the lens halo.
