Milky Way和仙女座矮球状星系中非球形暗晕的结构特性

Structural properties of non-spherical dark halos in Milky Way and Andromeda dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Kohei Hayashi, Masashi Chiba

摘要:

基于我们以前工作中修正的轴对称质量模型,研究了银河系和仙女座星系中矮球状(dSph)星系暗晕的非球形密度结构.我们在这里采用的模型充分考虑到速度各向异性的示踪星被限制在一个扁平的暗晕。将我们的模型应用到12个明亮的dSphs的可用运动学数据中,我们发现这些星系通常与拉长的暗晕相关联,即使考虑到恒星速度各向异性的影响。我们还发现,最佳拟合参数,特别是暗晕和速度各向异性的形状,容易受到外部区域速度数据的可用性和每个空间仓中缺乏样本星的影响。因此,为了获得更现实的限制黑暗的晕结构,我们需要在更大的地区的dSphs比以前探索的光度和运动学数据。从现有的数据得到的结果表明,暗晕的形状在dSphs比那些$Λ$ CDM subhalo更拉长。这种不匹配需要解决的理论,包括重子组件和相关的反馈暗晕,以及进一步的观测限制在更大的地区的dSphs。研究还发现,更弥散的暗晕可能经历了连续的恒星形成历史,从而暗示暗晕结构在恒星形成活动中起着重要作用。

英文摘要:

We investigate the non-spherical density structure of dark halos of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies based on revised axisymmetric mass models from our previous work. The models we adopt here fully take into account velocity anisotropy of tracer stars confined within a flattened dark halo. Applying our models to the available kinematic data of the 12 bright dSphs, we find that these galaxies associate with, in general, elongated dark halos, even considering the effect of this velocity anisotropy of stars. We also find that the best-fit parameters, especially for the shapes of dark halos and velocity anisotropy, are susceptible to both the availability of velocity data in the outer regions and the effect of the lack of sample stars in each spatial bin. Thus, to obtain more realistic limits on dark halo structures, we require photometric and kinematic data over much larger areas in the dSphs than previously explored. The results obtained from the currently available data suggest that the shapes of dark halos in the dSphs are more elongated than those of $Λ$CDM subhalos. This mismatch needs to be solved by theory including baryon components and the associated feedback to dark halos as well as by further observational limits in larger areas of dSphs. It is also found that more diffuse dark halos may have undergone consecutive star formation history, thereby implying that dark-halo structure plays an important role in star formation activity.
