We investigate the matter distribution of a spiral galaxy with a counter-rotating stellar core, SDSS J1331+3628 (J1331), independently with gravitational lensing and stellar dynamical modelling. By fitting a gravitational potential model to a quadruplet of lensing images around J1331's bulge, we tightly constrain the mass inside the Einstein radius R_ein = (0.91 +/- 0.02)'' (~= 1.83 +/- 0.04 kpc) to within 4%: M_ein = (7.8 +/- 0.3) x 10^10 M_Sun. We model observed long-slit major axis stellar kinematics in J1331's central regions by finding Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) models for the stellar and dark matter distribution that solve the axisymmetric Jeans equations. The lens and dynamical model are independently derived, but in very good agreement with each other around ~R_ein. We find that J1331's center requires a steep total mass-to-light ratio gradient. A dynamical model including an NFW halo (with virial velocity v_200 ~= 240 +/- 40 km/s and concentration c_200 ~= 8 +/- 2) and moderate tangential velocity anisotropy (beta_z ~= -0.4 +/- 0.1) can reproduce the signatures of J1331's counter-rotating core and predict the stellar and gas rotation curve at larger radii. However, our models do not agree with the observed velocity dispersion at large radii. We speculate that the reason could be a non-trivial change in structure and kinematics due to a possible merger event in J1331's recent past.

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: A Catalogue of Strong Galaxy-Galaxy Lens Candidates
我们在斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)第十六次数据发布(DR 16)的扩展重子振荡光谱巡天(eBOSS)中包含的$\approx2$百万个星系光谱中,光谱检测到838个可能的候选者,448个可能的候选者和265个可能的强透镜候选者。我们应用重子振荡光谱巡天(BOSS)发射线透镜巡天(BELLS)的光谱检测方法,并添加高斯拟合信息,分级,额外的检查观测量和额外的检查方法来改进我们的选择方法。我们在SDSS-I/II的Legacy调查和DESI Legacy调查的低分辨率图像中观察到477名候选人具有透镜证据,这比使用类似透镜证据观察到的BELLS候选人的百分比高$12\%$。我们在BOSS调查的最新和改进的缩减范围内进行的搜索,在搜索所有BOSS和eBOSS星系时,预期透镜候选者的数量增加了$20\%$。我们的候选者的目标和背景红移的分布是类似的候选者和确认的透镜内的贝尔观测。我们在SDSS DR 16的增值目录(VAC)中展示了我们的透镜物体光谱识别(SILO)候选者。在后续的高分辨率成像中对这些透镜候选者的检查可能会产生比SDSS中以前的光谱检测调查中发现的透镜多两倍的透镜,这将把SDSS中以前的透镜调查结果扩展到更高的红移,限制螺旋星系中质量结构的模型,并测试在低分辨率图像中包括可能的透镜特征的识别是否对光谱检测程序有价值。
The SWELLS survey. IV. Precision measurements of the stellar and dark matter distributions in a spiral lens galaxy
We construct a fully self-consistent mass model for the lens galaxy J2141 at z=0.14, and use it to improve on previous studies by modelling its gravitational lensing effect, gas rotation curve and stellar kinematics simultaneously. We adopt a very flexible axisymmetric mass model constituted by a generalized NFW dark matter halo and a stellar mass distribution obtained by deprojecting the MGE fit to the high-resolution K'-band LGSAO imaging data of the galaxy, with the (spatially constant) M/L ratio as a free parameter. We model the stellar kinematics by solving the anisotropic Jeans equations…
