星系团质量分布的测量

Measuring the Mass Distribution in Galaxy Clusters

Margaret J. Geller, Antonaldo Diaferio, Kenneth J. Rines. Ana Laura Serra

摘要:

团簇质量分布是对结构形成模型的检验。目前只有两种确定质量分布的观测方法,引力透镜和焦散技术,是独立于动力学平衡假设的。这两种技术都能够确定在超过维里半径的半径处的扩展质量分布。对于19个集群,我们比较了质量档案的基础上的焦散技术与弱透镜测量从文献中。这种比较提供了两种技术中系统性问题的测试。在维里半径附近,两种质量估计方法的一致性在约30%以内,与各个技术中的预期误差一致。在小半径处,焦散技术高估了数值模拟所预期的质量。在这些半径处的透镜分布与焦散质量分布之间的比率表明弱透镜分布是真实质量分布的良好表示。在大于维里半径的半径处,透镜化质量分布超过焦散质量分布,这可能是由于透镜化分布被透镜化内核内的大尺度结构污染的结果。我们强调的情况下,紧密相邻的集群MS 0906 + 11和A750说明的潜在严重性的污染的弱透镜信号无关的结构。

英文摘要:

Cluster mass profiles are tests of models of structure formation. Only two current observational methods of determining the mass profile, gravitational lensing and the caustic technique, are independent of the assumption of dynamical equilibrium. Both techniques enable determination of the extended mass profile at radii beyond the virial radius. For 19 clusters, we compare the mass profile based on the caustic technique with weak lensing measurements taken from the literature. This comparison offers a test of systematic issues in both techniques. Around the virial radius, the two methods of mass estimation agree to within about 30%, consistent with the expected errors in the individual techniques. At small radii, the caustic technique overestimates the mass as expected from numerical simulations. The ratio between the lensing profile and the caustic mass profile at these radii suggests that the weak lensing profiles are a good representation of the true mass profile. At radii larger than the virial radius, the lensing mass profile exceeds the caustic mass profile possibly as a result of contamination of the lensing profile by large-scale structures within the lensing kernel. We highlight the case of the closely neighboring clusters MS0906+11 and A750 to illustrate the potential seriousness of contamination of the the weak lensing signal by unrelated structures.
