球状星团系统的大小与其宿主暗物质晕的相关性

The correlation between the sizes of globular cluster systems and their host dark matter haloes

Michael J. Hudson, Bailey Robison

摘要:

球状星团(GC)的整个系统的大小取决于GC本身的形成和破坏历史,但也取决于他们居住的暗物质(DM)晕的组装,合并和吸积历史。最近的工作表明,在球状星团系统中球状星团的总质量与其宿主暗物质晕的质量之间存在线性关系,这是从弱透镜校正的。在这里,我们扩展到GC系统的大小,通过研究附近星系群中星系周围GC的径向密度分布。我们发现GC系统的径向密度分布与de Vaucouleurs分布很好地拟合。结合我们的结果与文献中的结果,我们发现GC系统的有效半径与其宿主DM晕的维里半径(或质量)之间存在紧密的关系($\sim 0.2$ dex散射)。这种关系($R_{e, GCS} \propto R_{200}^{2.5 - 3}$)的陡峭的非线性依赖性目前还没有得到很好的理解,但这是一个重要的线索,关于组装历史的DM晕和GC系统,他们的主机。

英文摘要:

The sizes of entire systems of globular clusters (GCs) depend on the formation and destruction histories of the GCs themselves, but also on the assembly, merger and accretion history of the dark matter (DM) haloes that they inhabit. Recent work has shown a linear relation between total mass of globular clusters in the globular cluster system and the mass of its host dark matter halo, calibrated from weak lensing. Here we extend this to GC system sizes, by studying the radial density profiles of GCs around galaxies in nearby galaxy groups. We find that radial density profiles of the GC systems are well fit with a de Vaucouleurs profile. Combining our results with those from the literature, we find tight relationship ($\sim 0.2$ dex scatter) between the effective radius of the GC system and the virial radius (or mass) of its host DM halo. The steep non-linear dependence of this relationship ($R_{e, GCS} \propto R_{200}^{2.5 - 3}$) is currently not well understood, but is an important clue regarding the assembly history of DM haloes and of the GC systems that they host.
