小尺度星系团亚结构的透镜弯曲重建

Reconstruction of small-scale galaxy cluster substructure with lensing flexion

Benjamin Cain, Marusa Bradac, Rebecca Levinson

摘要:

我们从模拟的引力透镜数据集,包括强透镜,弱透镜剪切,和测量的二次图像失真-弯曲的星系团规模的质量分布的重建。构造透镜数据以在具有和不具有屈曲的质量重建之间进行直接比较。我们表明,在没有屈曲测量,显着的星系群规模的子结构可以保持未检测到的重建质量配置文件,并由此产生的配置文件低估了孔径质量的子结构区域的$\sim25-40\%$。当包括屈曲时,可以在小于10 \arcsec的角分辨率下检测到质量为$\sim3\times10^{12}$ M $_\odot$的亚晕。通过屈曲重建的轮廓的孔径质量与输入分布值匹配,误差在$\sim13\%$内,包括统计误差和分散。这表明了重要的约束,屈曲测量放置在子结构的星系团和它的效用,用于生产高保真质量重建。

英文摘要:

We present a reconstructions of galaxy-cluster-scale mass distributions from simulated gravitational lensing data sets including strong lensing, weak lensing shear, and measurements of quadratic image distortions -- flexion. The lensing data is constructed to make a direct comparison between mass reconstructions with and without flexion. We show that in the absence of flexion measurements, significant galaxy-group scale substructure can remain undetected in the reconstructed mass profiles, and that the resulting profiles underestimate the aperture mass in the substructure regions by $\sim25-40\%$. When flexion is included, subhaloes down to a mass of $\sim3\times10^{12}$ M$_\odot$ can be detected at an angular resolution smaller than 10\arcsec. Aperture masses from profiles reconstructed with flexion match the input distribution values to within an error of $\sim13\%$, including both statistical error and scatter. This demonstrates the important constraint that flexion measurements place on substructure in galaxy clusters and its utility for producing high-fidelity mass reconstructions.
