摘要:

作为在AAT上用2dF/AAOmega对附近5个球状星团进行化学动力学观测的一部分,我们获得了球状星团NGC 3201的运动学信息。我们的新观测结果证实了整个星系团中存在着显著的速度梯度,这几乎可以完全用星系团的高自行来解释。在减去这种透视旋转的贡献后,我们发现了一个剩余的旋转信号,其幅度为$\sim1\ km/s$,围绕一个不同的轴,我们期望从潮汐尾和潜在的逃生者,这表明这种旋转是内部的,可以是其形成过程的残余。在外部,我们发现了一个旋转信号,这可能是潜在的逃生者的结果。Bianchini等人报告的大半径自行色散先前被归因于暗物质。在这里,我们表明,0.5-1雅可比半径之间的LOS分散度较低,但高于我们为这项研究运行的NGC 3201的N体模型的预测。基于模拟,我们发现潜在的逃逸者不能完全解释所观察到的速度分散。我们还估计了不同数量的恒星质量的黑洞和未绑定的恒星的速度色散的影响,从潮汐尾不同的逃逸率,发现这些影响不能解释的LOS色散和N体模型之间的差异。鉴于最近在离星团很远的地方发现了潮汐尾星,暗物质晕是一个不太可能的解释。我们表明,双星的影响,这是不包括在N体模型,是重要的,可以解释部分的差异,分散。我们推测,其余的差异必须是不包括在N体模型的影响,如初始集群旋转,速度各向异性和银河系的子结构的结果。

英文摘要:

As part of a chemo-dynamical survey of five nearby globular clusters with 2dF/AAOmega on the AAT, we have obtained kinematic information for the globular cluster NGC3201. Our new observations confirm the presence of a significant velocity gradient across the cluster which can almost entirely be explained by the high proper motion of the cluster. After subtracting the contribution of this perspective rotation, we found a remaining rotation signal with an amplitude of $\sim1\ km/s$ around a different axis to what we expect from the tidal tails and the potential escapers, suggesting that this rotation is internal and can be a remnant of its formation process. At the outer part, we found a rotational signal that is likely a result from potential escapers. The proper motion dispersion at large radii reported by Bianchini et al. has previously been attributed to dark matter. Here we show that the LOS dispersion between 0.5-1 Jacobi radius is lower, yet above the predictions from an N-body model of NGC3201 that we ran for this study. Based on the simulation, we find that potential escapers cannot fully explain the observed velocity dispersion. We also estimate the effect on the velocity dispersion of different amounts of stellar-mass black holes and unbound stars from the tidal tails with varying escape rates and find that these effects cannot explain the difference between the LOS dispersion and the N-body model. Given the recent discovery of tidal tail stars at large distances from the cluster, a dark matter halo is an unlikely explanation. We show that the effect of binary stars, which is not included in the N-body model, is important and can explain part of the difference in dispersion. We speculate that the remaining difference must be the result of effects not included in the N-body model, such as initial cluster rotation, velocity anisotropy and Galactic substructure.
