摘要:

利用Mitchell积分场摄谱仪对透镜星系NGC 3998进行了观测,并提取了3个半光半径范围内的视速度分布。我们构建了无碰撞轨道模型,以限制NGC 3998的黑暗和可见的结构,使用米切尔和SAURON仪器的运动学。我们发现NGC 3998几乎是轴对称的,几乎是正面看的,具有扁平的内在形状-即,正面快速旋转我们发现一个I波段的质量与光比$4.7_{-0.45}^{+0.32}$在很好的协议与以前的光谱拟合结果为这个星系。我们的最佳拟合轨道模型显示了一个凸起和一个光盘组件,一个不可忽略的反向旋转组件也很明显。我们发现,相对较少的暗物质是需要模拟这个星系,与一个半光半径内的推测暗质量分数只有$(7.1^{+8.1}_{-7.1})\%$。

英文摘要:

We observed the lenticular galaxy NGC 3998 with the Mitchell Integral-Field Spectrograph and extracted line-of-sight velocity distributions out to 3 half-light radii. We constructed collisionless orbit models in order to constrain NGC 3998's dark and visible structure, using kinematics from both the Mitchell and SAURON instruments. We find NGC 3998 to be almost axisymmetric, seen nearly face on with a flattened intrinsic shape - i.e., a face-on fast-rotator. We find an I-band mass-to-light ratio of $4.7_{-0.45}^{+0.32}$ in good agreement with previous spectral fitting results for this galaxy. Our best-fit orbit model shows a both a bulge and a disc component, with a non-negligible counter-rotating component also evident. We find that relatively little dark matter is needed to model this galaxy, with an inferred dark mass fraction of just $(7.1^{+8.1}_{-7.1})\%$ within one half-light radius.
