摘要:

本文报道了16个恒星质量介于$10^{10}$和$10^{11}$ $\mathrm{M}_\odot$之间的早型星系样品,在6 $R_{\rm e}$处测得的HI圆速度与在1 $R_{\rm e}$内测得的恒星速度色散之间存在紧密的线性关系。与以前的研究的关键区别是,我们只使用空间分辨的$v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI)测量在大半径的对象的一个相当大的样本。因此,我们可以将暗物质占主导地位的星系外部区域的引力势运动学示踪剂与重子控制质量分布的内部区域的引力势运动学示踪剂联系起来。我们发现,$v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI)= 1.33 $σ_\mathrm{e}$,观察到的分散度仅为12%。这表明,从早期类型星系的内部到外部区域,亮物质和暗物质之间存在强烈的耦合,类似于螺旋星系和矮不规则星系的情况。$v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI)- $σ_\mathrm{e}$关系比那些基于从恒星运动学和较小半径的模型中获得的$v_\mathrm{circ}$测量值的关系要浅,这意味着\vcirc随半径下降--就像在膨胀主导的螺旋中一样。实际上,$v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI)的值通常比从动力学模型在$\sim0.2\ R_\mathrm{e}$得出的最大$v_\mathrm{circ}$低25%。在幂律总密度分布$ρ\propto r^{-γ}$的假设下,我们的数据意味着整个样品的平均对数斜率$\langleγ\rangle=2.18\pm0.03$,在该值周围的分散度为0.11。的平均斜率和分散同意最近的结果从恒星运动学单独的早期型星系的不同样本。

英文摘要:

We report a tight linear relation between the HI circular velocity measured at 6 $R_{\rm e}$ and the stellar velocity dispersion measured within 1 $R_{\rm e}$ for a sample of 16 early-type galaxies with stellar mass between $10^{10}$ and $10^{11}$ $\mathrm{M}_\odot$. The key difference from previous studies is that we only use spatially resolved $v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI) measurements obtained at large radius for a sizeable sample of objects. We can therefore link a kinematical tracer of the gravitational potential in the dark-matter dominated outer regions of galaxies with one in the inner regions, where baryons control the distribution of mass. We find that $v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI) = 1.33 $σ_\mathrm{e}$ with an observed scatter of just 12 percent. This indicates a strong coupling between luminous and dark matter from the inner- to the outer regions of early-type galaxies, analogous to the situation in spirals and dwarf irregulars. The $v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI)-$σ_\mathrm{e}$ relation is shallower than those based on $v_\mathrm{circ}$ measurements obtained from stellar kinematics and modelling at smaller radius, implying that \vcirc\ declines with radius -- as in bulge-dominated spirals. Indeed, the value of $v_\mathrm{circ}$(HI) is typically 25 percent lower than the maximum $v_\mathrm{circ}$ derived at $\sim0.2\ R_\mathrm{e}$ from dynamical models. Under the assumption of power-law total density profiles $ρ\propto r^{-γ}$, our data imply an average logarithmic slope $\langleγ\rangle=2.18\pm0.03$ across the sample, with a scatter of 0.11 around this value. The average slope and scatter agree with recent results obtained from stellar kinematics alone for a different sample of early-type galaxies.
