摘要:

我们使用两种不同的动力学模型方法--非对称漂移校正(ADC)和轴对称Jeans各向异性多高斯展开(JAM)模型,推断了18个晚型旋涡星系在0.4-1.2盘尺度长度范围内的中心质量分布。ADC采用薄圆盘假设,而JAM进行全视线速度积分。我们使用积分场摄谱仪SAURON获得的恒星运动学地图,从两个模型中推导出相应的圆速度曲线。为了找到它们的最佳拟合值,我们应用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗(MCMC)方法。当有序运动与随机运动具有显著可比性时,即$\overline{v_ϕ}/σ_R$局部大于1.5时,ADC和JAM建模方法在5%的不确定度内是一致的。低于该值时,$v_\mathrm{c,JAM}/v_\mathrm{c,ADC}$的比值随着$\overline{v_ϕ}/σ_R$的降低而逐渐增加,达到$v_\mathrm{c,JAM}\approx 2 \times v_\mathrm{c,ADC}$。这样的条件表明,我们样本中星系的恒星质量并不局限于它们的盘平面,而且可能有一个不可忽略的贡献,来自它们的凸起和厚盘。

英文摘要:

We infer the central mass distributions within 0.4-1.2 disc scale lengths of 18 late-type spiral galaxies using two different dynamical modelling approaches - the Asymmetric Drift Correction (ADC) and axisymmetric Jeans Anisotropic Multi-gaussian expansion (JAM) model. ADC adopts a thin disc assumption, whereas JAM does a full line-of-sight velocity integration. We use stellar kinematics maps obtained with the integral-field spectrograph SAURON to derive the corresponding circular velocity curves from the two models. To find their best-fit values, we apply Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. ADC and JAM modelling approaches are consistent within 5% uncertainty when the ordered motions are significant comparable to the random motions, i.e, $\overline{v_ϕ}/σ_R$ is locally greater than 1.5. Below this value, the ratio $v_\mathrm{c,JAM}/v_\mathrm{c,ADC}$ gradually increases with decreasing $\overline{v_ϕ}/σ_R$, reaching $v_\mathrm{c,JAM}\approx 2 \times v_\mathrm{c,ADC}$. Such conditions indicate that the stellar masses of the galaxies in our sample are not confined to their disk planes and likely have a non-negligible contribution from their bulges and thick disks.
