摘要:

我们报告发现了最微弱的已知矮星系卫星的LMC恒星质量主机超出本集团,基于深成像与斯巴鲁/超Suprime-Cam。MADCASH J 074238 +652501-dw位于NGC 2403的$\sim$ 35 kpc投影上,NGC 2403是一个矮螺旋星系,$D$ $\approx$ 3.2 Mpc。这个新的矮星有$M_{g} = -7.4\pm0.4$和$168\pm70$ pc的半光半径,在计算的距离为$3.39\pm0.41$ Mpc。色星等图显示没有年轻恒星族群的证据,这表明MADCASH J 074238 +652501-dw是一颗古老的贫金属矮星,类似于本星系群中的低光度矮星。缺乏检测到的HI气体($M_{\rm HI}/L_{V} < 0.69 M_\odot/L_\odot$,基于绿岸望远镜的观测)或$GALEX$ NUV/FUV通量增强与缺乏年轻恒星是一致的。这是MADCASH(麦哲伦模拟矮伴星和恒星晕)调查的第一个结果,该调查正在通过解决恒星种群对局部体积LMC类似物晕中的恒星子结构和暗淡卫星进行普查。模型预测总共有$\sim$ 4-10颗卫星,质量至少与MADCASH J 074238 +652501-dw一样,围绕着质量为NGC 2403的主机,其中2-3颗在我们的视野内,略多于我们在足迹中观察到的一颗这样的卫星。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of the faintest known dwarf galaxy satellite of an LMC stellar-mass host beyond the Local Group, based on deep imaging with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam. MADCASH J074238+652501-dw lies $\sim$35 kpc in projection from NGC 2403, a dwarf spiral galaxy at $D$$\approx$3.2 Mpc. This new dwarf has $M_{g} = -7.4\pm0.4$ and a half-light radius of $168\pm70$ pc, at the calculated distance of $3.39\pm0.41$ Mpc. The color-magnitude diagram reveals no evidence of young stellar populations, suggesting that MADCASH J074238+652501-dw is an old, metal-poor dwarf similar to low luminosity dwarfs in the Local Group. The lack of either detected HI gas ($M_{\rm HI}/L_{V} < 0.69 M_\odot/L_\odot$, based on Green Bank Telescope observations) or $GALEX$ NUV/FUV flux enhancement is consistent with a lack of young stars. This is the first result from the MADCASH (Magellanic Analog Dwarf Companions And Stellar Halos) survey, which is conducting a census of the stellar substructure and faint satellites in the halos of Local Volume LMC analogs via resolved stellar populations. Models predict a total of $\sim$4-10 satellites at least as massive as MADCASH J074238+652501-dw around a host with the mass of NGC 2403, with 2-3 within our field of view, slightly more than the one such satellite observed in our footprint.
