星系中暗物质的内斜率和浓度:从天炉座矮星系到M87

Dark matter inner slope and concentration in galaxies: from the Fornax dwarf to M87

摘要:

我们应用两个新的国家的最先进的方法,模型的分布所观察到的示踪剂在投影相空间解除质量/速度各向异性(VA)的简并和推导的星系的质量分布的约束,以及他们的VA。我们首先展示了如何分布函数为基础的方法应用到卫星运动学,否则孤立的SDSS星系显示令人信服的观测证据的年龄匹配:红色星系有更多的集中暗物质(DM)晕比蓝色星系相同的恒星或晕质量。然后,将MAMPOSSt技术应用于M87(由其红色和蓝色球状星团追踪),我们发现非常尖的DM是有利的,除非我们释放DM浓度或恒星质量的先验(导致不受约束的斜率)。对于天炉座矮椭球(由其富金属和贫金属恒星追踪),内部DM斜率是不受约束的,如果恒星质量固定,则核心的证据很弱。这突出了先验知识对于DM建模的重要性。最后,我们发现M87周围的蓝色GC和天炉座富金属星都有切向的外VA。

英文摘要:

We apply two new state-of-the-art methods that model the distribution of observed tracers in projected phase space to lift the mass / velocity anisotropy (VA) degeneracy and deduce constraints on the mass profiles of galaxies, as well as their VA. We first show how a distribution function based method applied to the satellite kinematics of otherwise isolated SDSS galaxies shows convincing observational evidence of age matching: red galaxies have more concentrated dark matter (DM) halos than blue galaxies of the same stellar or halo mass. Then, applying the MAMPOSSt technique to M87 (traced by its red and blue globular clusters) we find that very cuspy DM is favored, unless we release priors on DM concentration or stellar mass (leading to unconstrained slope). For the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (traced by its metal-rich and metal-poor stars), the inner DM slope is unconstrained, with weak evidence for a core if the stellar mass is fixed. This highlights how priors are crucial for DM modeling. Finally, we find that blue GCs around M87 and metal-rich stars in Fornax have tangential outer VA.
