摘要:

我们利用组环境的剑桥斯隆调查宽弧在天空中(CASSOWARY)z=0.3透镜J2158+0257测量组动力学质量作为补充的中心动力学和透镜质量约束。使用VLT/FORS 2进行候选组成员的后续光谱。从所得到的N=21确认的成员,我们测量组动力学质量校准分析示踪剂质量估计宇宙学模拟。光度加权的视线速度色散和爱因斯坦半径的透镜被用来作为质量探针在星系的内部区域。结合这三个观测探测器使我们能够独立地约束质量和浓度的暗物质晕,除了总恒星质量的中央星系。我们发现一个暗物质晕与模拟结果非常吻合(log_10 M_200/M_sun = 14.2 +/- 0.2,c_200 = 4.4(+1.6,-1.4)),恒星质光比有利于Salpeter初始质量函数((M/L)* = 5.7 +/- 1.2)。我们对正常晕浓度的测量表明,在群体质量尺度上,模拟和观测之间没有差异。这与一些研究声称过度集中的晕的星团质量规模形成对比。虽然晕质量是稳健的确定,晕浓度是不显着的系统学的影响,由此产生的恒星质量-光比是敏感的恒星参数的选择,如密度分布和速度各向异性。

英文摘要:

We exploit the group environment of the CAmbridge Sloan Survey Of Wide ARcs in the skY (CASSOWARY) z=0.3 lens J2158+0257 to measure the group dynamical mass as a complement to the central dynamical and lensing mass constraints. Follow-up spectroscopy of candidate group members is performed using VLT/FORS2. From the resulting N=21 confirmed members we measure the group dynamical mass by calibrating an analytic tracer mass estimator with cosmological simulations. The luminosity weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersion and the Einstein radius of the lens are used as mass probes in the inner regions of the galaxy. Combining these three observational probes allows us to independently constrain the mass and concentration of the dark matter halo, in addition to the total stellar mass of the central galaxy. We find a dark matter halo in remarkably good agreement with simulations (log_10 M_200/M_sun = 14.2 +/- 0.2, c_200 = 4.4 (+1.6, -1.4)) and a stellar mass-to-light ratio which favors a Salpeter initial mass function ((M/L)* = 5.7 +/- 1.2). Our measurement of a normal halo concentration suggests that there is no discrepancy between simulations and observations at the group mass scale. This is in contrast to the cluster mass scale for which a number of studies have claimed over-concentrated halos. While the halo mass is robustly determined, and the halo concentration is not significantly affected by systematics, the resulting stellar mass-to-light ratio is sensitive to the choice of stellar parameters, such as density profile and velocity anisotropy.
