摘要:

我们目前的测量$f_h$,投影晕和星系椭圆率的对齐组件的比例,使用弱引力透镜数据从千度巡天(KiDS)的中央星系的样本。使用透镜星系的形状估计,是更敏感的外星系区域,我们发现$f_{\rm h}=0.50\pm0.20$为我们的完整的样本和$f_{\rm h}=0.55\pm0.19$为一个固有的红色(因此更高的恒星质量)的子样本,拒绝圆晕和/或星系不与它们的母晕在$2.5σ$和$2.9σ$,分别对齐的假设。我们使用数值模拟和来自星系和质量大会调查的重叠光谱来量化我们中央星系样本的93.4%纯度。这种纯度确保了我们对测量结果的解释不会因为卫星星系的存在而变得复杂。限制我们的中央星系椭圆率测量的内部等照度线,我们发现$f_{\rm h}=0.34\pm0.17$为我们的红色子样本,这表明外星系区域更符合其暗物质晕相比,内部区域。我们的研究结果与以前的研究一致,并表明,较低质量的晕是圆的和/或更少对齐与他们的宿主星系比样本更大的星系,研究星系群和星系团。

英文摘要:

We present measurements of $f_h$, the ratio of the aligned components of the projected halo and galaxy ellipticities, for a sample of central galaxies using weak gravitational lensing data from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS). Using a lens galaxy shape estimation that is more sensitive to outer galaxy regions, we find $f_{\rm h}=0.50\pm0.20$ for our full sample and $f_{\rm h}=0.55\pm0.19$ for an intrinsically red (and therefore higher stellar-mass) sub-sample, rejecting the hypothesis of round halos and/or galaxies being un-aligned with their parent halo at $2.5σ$ and $2.9σ$, respectively. We quantify the 93.4% purity of our central galaxy sample using numerical simulations and overlapping spectroscopy from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly survey. This purity ensures that the interpretation of our measurements is not complicated by the presence of a significant fraction of satellite galaxies. Restricting our central galaxy ellipticity measurement to the inner isophotes, we find $f_{\rm h}=0.34\pm0.17$ for our red sub-sample, suggesting that the outer galaxy regions are more aligned with their dark matter halos compared to the inner regions. Our results are in agreement with previous studies and suggest that lower mass halos are rounder and/or less aligned with their host galaxy than samples of more massive galaxies, studied in galaxy groups and clusters.
