摘要:

核球支配星系NGC 7814为修正牛顿动力学(MOND)提供了最强的动力学测试。斯皮策3.6微米测光固定的隆起参数化,并强烈约束次主导恒星盘的属性。此外,已知距离优于5%,实际上消除了它作为自由参数的可能性。旋转曲线很容易测量,因为H I(和恒星)盘是边缘上的,后退和接近的两侧都非常一致。在本文中,我们探讨了MOND模型和观测到的旋转曲线之间的协议,只有两个可用的自由参数是隆起和磁盘的质光比。我们使用一个基于网格的MOND泊松求解器,准确地解决了MOND重力,并产生我们的模型旋转曲线从一个给定的质量分布。泊松解算器的输入是N粒子的3D分布,它是通过对星系中恒星和气体的观测分布进行建模而生成的。通过确保比以前的作品更好地拟合径向表面亮度轮廓,凭借对凸起的双Sersic拟合,我们能够产生与旋转曲线的良好拟合,具有两个质光比的典型值。我们的结论是,在MOND的质量分布的模型旋转曲线是非常敏感的膨胀盘分解,甚至轻微的偏离所观察到的质量分布可以产生很大的差异,在模型旋转曲线。

英文摘要:

The bulge dominated galaxy NGC 7814 provides one of the strongest dynamical tests possible for Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). Spitzer 3.6 micron photometry fixes the bulge parameterisation and strongly constrains the properties of the sub-dominant stellar disk. Furthermore, the distance is known to better than 5 percent, virtually eliminating it as a free parameter. The rotation curve is easily measured, since the H I (and stellar) disks are edge on, and both the receding and approaching sides agree very well. In this paper we explore the agreement between the model and observed rotation curves in MOND given that the only two free parameters available are the mass-to-light ratios of the bulge and disk. We use a grid based MOND Poisson solver that accurately solves for the MOND gravity and produces our model rotation curves from a given mass distribution. The input to the Poisson solver is a 3D distribution of N particles which is generated from modelling the observed distribution of stars and gas in the galaxy. By ensuring a superior fit to the radial surface brightness profile than previous works, by virtue of a double Sersic fit to the bulge, we were able to produce excellent fits to the rotation curve with typical values for both mass-to-light ratios. We conclude that the model rotation curve of a mass distribution in MOND is extremely sensitive to the bulge-disk decomposition and even slight deviation from the observed mass distribution can produce large differences in the model rotation curve.
