局域透镜星系球中的恒星中心质量亏损及其与紧致z ~ 1.5星系球的联系

Central Stellar Mass Deficits in the Bulges of Local Lenticular Galaxies, and the Connection with Compact z ~ 1.5 Galaxies

Bililign T. Dullo, Alister W. Graham

摘要:

我们使用了哈勃太空望远镜的高级巡天相机和宽视场行星相机2的图像的全径向范围,从六个本地透镜状星系候选者的样本中提取表面亮度轮廓。我们已经模拟了这些配置文件使用的核心Sersic凸起加上指数盘模型。我们的透镜状盘星系的凸起幅度M_V < ~ -21.30等,有中央恒星赤字,这表明这些凸起可能是形成的“干”合并事件涉及超大质量黑洞,而他们周围的磁盘随后建立起来,也许通过冷气体吸积的情况。中心恒星的质量亏损M_def约为0.5 ~ 2 M_BH(黑洞质量),而不是以往研究中所认为的10 ~ 20 M_BH,这与椭圆星系核心Sersic模型的质量亏损测量结果一致。此外,这些凸起的赛西克指数为n ~ 3,半光半径R_e< 2 kpc and masses >为10 ^[11]太阳质量,因此看起来似乎是已报道的z ~ 1.5 ~ 2的致密星系的后代。以往的研究都是通过单成分星系模型来提供z ~ 0大小的比较,从而寻找这些局部对应物,而忽略了今天早型盘星系中这些致密、紧凑和巨大的凸起。这种进化的场景不仅解释了今天通常是老的凸起-这必须存在于z ~ 1.5的图像中-居住在通常是年轻的磁盘中,但它消除了紧凑的3到5倍的尺寸增长的令人不安的建议,z ~ 1.5星系已知拥有婴儿磁盘。

英文摘要:

We have used the full radial extent of images from the Hubble Space Telescope's Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 to extract surface brightness profiles from a sample of six, local lenticular galaxy candidates. We have modelled these profiles using a core-Sersic bulge plus an exponential disk model. Our lenticular disk galaxies with bulge magnitudes M_V < ~ -21.30 mag have central stellar deficits, suggesting that these bulges may have formed from `dry' merger events involving supermassive black holes while their surrounding disk was subsequently built up, perhaps via cold gas accretion scenarios. The central stellar mass deficits M_def are roughly 0.5 to 2 M_BH (black hole mass), rather than ~ 10 to 20 M_BH as claimed from some past studies, which is in accord with core-Sersic model mass deficit measurements in elliptical galaxies. Furthermore, these bulges have Sersic indices n ~ 3, half light radii R_e < 2 kpc and masses > 10^11 M_sun, and therefore appear to be descendants of the compact galaxies reported at z ~ 1.5 to 2. Past studies which have searched for these local counterparts by using single-component galaxy models to provide the z ~ 0 size comparisons have over-looked these dense, compact and massive bulges in today's early-type disk galaxies. This evolutionary scenario not only accounts for what are today generally old bulges---which must be present in z ~ 1.5 images---residing in what are generally young disks, but it eliminates the uncomfortable suggestion of a factor of 3 to 5 growth in size for the compact, z ~ 1.5 galaxies that are known to possess infant disks.
