Abell 3128中的质量子结构

Mass Substructure in Abell 3128

Jacqueline McCleary, Ian dell'Antonio, Paul Huwe

摘要:

利用暗能量照相机(DECam)的深紫外成像,对附近(z = 0.058)的星系团Abell 3128进行了详细的二维弱引力透镜分析。我们已经设计了一个管道,从DECam图像中去除仪器伪影,并堆叠多个抖动观测值,而不会引起虚假的椭圆率信号。我们开发了一种新的技术来表征PSF的空间变化,使我们能够圆化的领域优于0.5%,从而提取内在的星系椭圆。通过拟合测光红移的观测来源,我们能够选择一个样本的背景星系弱透镜分析低红移的污染物。测光红移也被用来选择一个高红移星系子样本,我们成功地隔离信号的interloping z = 0.44集群。我们估计Abell 3128的总质量,通过拟合的切向椭圆率的背景星系与弱透镜剪切轮廓的NFW晕,也执行NFW适合子结构中检测到的2-D质量图的集群。这项研究产生了一个最高分辨率的低z星系团的质量地图,是在一个更大的努力,以表征在集群中的质量子结构的红移演化的第一步。

英文摘要:

We perform a detailed 2-dimensional weak gravitational lensing analysis of the nearby (z = 0.058) galaxy cluster Abell 3128 using deep ugrz imaging from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). We have designed a pipeline to remove instrumental artifacts from DECam images and stack multiple dithered observations without inducing a spurious ellipticity signal. We develop a new technique to characterize the spatial variation of the PSF which enables us to circularize the field to better than 0.5% and thereby extract the intrinsic galaxy ellipticities. By fitting photometric redshifts to sources in the observation, we are able to select a sample of background galaxies for weak lensing analysis free from low-redshift contaminants. Photometric redshifts are also used to select a high-redshift galaxy subsample with which we successfully isolate the signal from an interloping z = 0.44 cluster. We estimate the total mass of Abell 3128 by fitting the tangential ellipticity of background galaxies with the weak lensing shear profile of an NFW halo, and also perform NFW fits to substructures detected in the 2-D mass maps of the cluster. This study yields one of the highest resolution mass maps of a low-z cluster to date, and is the first step in a larger effort to characterize the redshift evolution of mass substructures in clusters.
