摘要:

核星团(Nuclear Star Cluster,NSC)是位于大多数星系中心的密集星团。在本文中,我们研究了29个星系的密度分布在10 Mpc的体积有限的调查,以表征他们的神经干细胞。这些星系跨越3 $\times$ 10 $^8$ - 8 $\times$ 10 $^{10}$ M $_\odot$和广泛的哈勃类型。我们使用高分辨率的哈勃空间望远镜的档案数据创建亮度模型的星系使用Sérsic配置文件参数化的NSC。我们还提供了使用颜色M/L关系的NSC和它们的宿主星系的光度质量的估计,并检查它们的相关性。我们使用多高斯展开(MGE)来推导NSC密度和它们的3-D质量密度分布。3-D的密度分布特征的NSC密度的尺度小到$\sim$ 1 pc,接近这些对象中的黑洞的可能的影响范围。我们发现,这些密度与星系质量,与星系大多数NSC密度比典型的球状星团。我们参数化的3-D NSC密度分布,其散射和斜率作为星系恒星质量的函数,使现实的核质量配置文件的建设。这些都是有用的预测率的潮汐破坏事件在星系。我们将在后续论文中验证本文的结果,该论文提出了同一样本神经干细胞的动态建模。

英文摘要:

Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are dense clusters of stars that reside in the centers of a majority of the galaxies. In this paper, we study the density profiles for 29 galaxies in a volume-limited survey within 10 Mpc to characterize their NSCs. These galaxies span a 3$\times$10$^8$ - 8$\times$10$^{10}$ M$_\odot$ and a wide range of Hubble types. We use high-resolution Hubble space telescope archival data to create luminosity models for the galaxies using Sérsic profiles to parameterize the NSCs. We also provide estimates for photometric masses of NSCs and their host galaxies using color-M/L relationships and examine their correlation. We use the Multi-Gaussian Expansion (MGE) to derive the NSC densities and their 3-D mass density profiles. The 3-D density profiles characterize the NSC densities on the scales as small as $\sim$1 pc, approaching the likely spheres of influence for black holes in these objects. We find that these densities correlate with galaxy mass, with galaxies most NSCs being denser than typical globular clusters. We parametrize the 3-D NSC density profiles, and their scatter and slope as a function of galaxy stellar mass to enable the construction of realistic nuclear mass profiles. These are useful in predicting the rate of tidal disruption events in galaxies. We will verify the results of this paper in a follow-up paper that presents the dynamical modeling of the same sample of NSCs.
