球状星团的扁平化:内部旋转还是速度各向异性?

The flattening of globular clusters: internal rotation or velocity anisotropy?

Paolo Bianchini, Anna Lisa Varri, Giuseppe Bertin, Alice Zocchi

摘要:

内部旋转被认为在决定某些球状星团的结构和动力学方面起着重要作用。我们提出了一个动力学分析的测光和三维运动学的47 Tuc和欧米茄岑,通过一个新的家庭的自洽轴对称旋转模型。视线速度和自行的结合使用,使我们能够获得一个全球性的描述的内部动态结构的对象,连同其动态距离的估计。我们的动力学模型很好地解释了松弛的星团47 Tuc,特别是发现内部旋转可以解释观察到的形态。对于部分弛豫的星系团omega Cen,所选模型提供了其复杂的三维运动学的良好表示,与观察到的各向异性轮廓大体上定性一致,其特征在于外部的切向各向异性;在观察到的和预期的椭圆率分布之间发现了差异,并且归因于在中间区域中存在高度的径向各向异性,它与旋转的相互作用。

英文摘要:

Internal rotation is considered to play a major role in determining the structure and dynamics of some globular clusters. We present a dynamical analysis of the photometry and three-dimensional kinematics of 47 Tuc and omega Cen, by means of a new family of self-consistent axisymmetric rotating models. The combined use of line-of-sight velocities and proper motions allows us to obtain a global description of the internal dynamical structure of the objects together with an estimate of their dynamical distances. The well-relaxed cluster 47 Tuc is very well interpreted by our dynamical models; in particular, internal rotation is found to explain the observed morphology. For the partially relaxed cluster omega Cen, the selected model provides a good representation of its complex three-dimensional kinematics, in general qualitative agreement with the observed anisotropy profile, which is characterized by tangential anisotropy in the outer parts; discrepancies are found between the observed and the expected ellipticity profile and are ascribed to the presence of a high degree of radial anisotropy in the intermediate region and to its interplay with rotation.
