摘要:

我们报告了一个新的超暗恒星系统中发现的暗能量相机数据从第一次观测运行的麦哲伦卫星巡天(MagLiteS)。MagLiteS J 0644 -5953(Pictor II或Pic II)是一颗低表面亮度(在其半光半径内μ = 28.5 mag arcsec $^{-2}$)的高密度恒星,它是一颗古老且缺乏金属的恒星,位于日心距离为45 kpc。这颗卫星的物理大小(r $_{1/2}$ = 46 pc)和低光度(Mv = -3.2等)与光谱证实的超暗星系的轨迹一致。MagLiteS J 0644 -5953(图II)位于距离大麦云云(LMC)11.3千秒差距处,与文献中的模拟结果比较表明,这颗卫星可能与大麦哲伦云吸积。MagLiteS J 0644 -5953(图II)与大麦哲伦星系的距离很近,这也使它成为最有可能仍然被引力束缚在大麦哲伦星系上的超暗星系候选者。

英文摘要:

We report a new ultra-faint stellar system found in Dark Energy Camera data from the first observing run of the Magellanic Satellites Survey (MagLiteS). MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pictor II or Pic II) is a low surface brightness (μ = 28.5 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ within its half-light radius) resolved overdensity of old and metal-poor stars located at a heliocentric distance of 45 kpc. The physical size (r$_{1/2}$ = 46 pc) and low luminosity (Mv = -3.2 mag) of this satellite are consistent with the locus of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-faint galaxies. MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pic II) is located 11.3 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and comparisons with simulation results in the literature suggest that this satellite was likely accreted with the LMC. The close proximity of MagLiteS J0644-5953 (Pic II) to the LMC also makes it the most likely ultra-faint galaxy candidate to still be gravitationally bound to the LMC.
