暗物质晕中大质量物体的引力透镜。I.临界曲线和焦散线

Gravitational Lensing By a Massive Object in a Dark Matter Halo. I. Critical Curves and Caustics

Michal Karamazov, Lukas Timko, David Heyrovsky

摘要:

我们研究了暗物质晕中大质量天体的引力透镜特性,主要集中在组合透镜的临界曲线和焦散线上。我们在最简单的近似模型的系统嵌入在一个球形Navarro $-$ Frenk $-$白色密度分布的质点。这种模型的参数数量少,允许系统地探索其参数空间。我们目前画廊的临界曲线和焦散线为不同的质量和位置的点在晕。我们证明了存在一个临界质量,在该临界质量之上,中心位置点的引力影响足够强,可以消除晕的径向临界曲线和焦散。在点质量参数空间中,我们确定临界曲线过渡和相应的焦散变质发生的边界。作为点的位置的函数的转变的数量是令人惊讶的高,范围从三个较高的质量到八个较低的质量。在焦散线上,我们确定了六种不同类型的焦散变质的发生。我们说明了独特的属性的单一径向临界曲线和焦散出现在一个额外的不寻常的非本地变态的临界质量定位在晕中心。虽然我们构建的模型主要是为了研究星系团中单个星系的透镜效应,但它也可以用于研究宿主星系晕中的矮卫星星系以及星系晕中一般位置的(超)质量黑洞的透镜效应。

英文摘要:

We study the gravitational lensing properties of a massive object in a dark matter halo, concentrating on the critical curves and caustics of the combined lens. We model the system in the simplest approximation by a point mass embedded in a spherical Navarro$-$Frenk$-$White density profile. The low number of parameters of such a model permits a systematic exploration of its parameter space. We present galleries of critical curves and caustics for different masses and positions of the point in the halo. We demonstrate the existence of a critical mass, above which the gravitational influence of the centrally positioned point is strong enough to eliminate the radial critical curve and caustic of the halo. In the point-mass parameter space we identify the boundaries at which critical-curve transitions and corresponding caustic metamorphoses occur. The number of transitions as a function of position of the point is surprisingly high, ranging from three for higher masses to as many as eight for lower masses. On the caustics we identify the occurrence of six different types of caustic metamorphoses. We illustrate the peculiar properties of the single radial critical curve and caustic appearing in an additional unusual non-local metamorphosis for a critical mass positioned at the halo center. Although we constructed the model primarily to study the lensing influence of individual galaxies in a galaxy cluster, it can also be used to study the lensing by dwarf satellite galaxies in the halo of a host galaxy, as well as (super)massive black holes at a general position in a galactic halo.
