摘要:

我们探索的潜力,我们的新的三轴建模机械恢复的视角,形状和星系的轨道分布,通过使用高分辨率$N$体合并模拟。我们的建模技术包括几个最近的进展。(i)我们新的三轴反投影算法SHAPE 3D能够显着缩小三轴星系的可能取向的范围,因此仅依赖于光度信息来约束其形状。它还允许探测简并性,即在相同的假定取向处恢复不同的去投影。利用该方法,我们可以仅使用光度信息来约束$N$ -身体模拟的固有形状,即轴比$p=b/a$和$q=c/a$,其中$Δp$和$Δq$ $\lesssim$ 0.1。视角重建的典型精度为15-20 $^\circ$。(ii)我们新的三轴史瓦西代码SMART利用了整个非参数视线速度分布(LOSVD)中包含的全部运动学信息以及相空间中的5D轨道采样。(iii)我们使用一个新的广义信息准则AIC $_p$优化平滑和选择最适合的模型,避免在纯粹的$χ^2$为基础的方法的潜在偏见。利用我们的反投影密度,我们恢复了正确的轨道结构和各向异性参数$β$,$Δβ$ $\lesssim$为0.1。这些结果是有效的,无论测试方向的模拟,并表明,即使已知的内在光度和运动学退化,上述先进的方法,使人们有可能恢复的形状和轨道结构的三轴机构前所未有的准确性。

英文摘要:

We explore the potential of our novel triaxial modeling machinery in recovering the viewing angles, the shape and the orbit distribution of galaxies by using a high-resolution $N$-body merger simulation. Our modelling technique includes several recent advancements. (i) Our new triaxial deprojection algorithm SHAPE3D is able to significantly shrink the range of possible orientations of a triaxial galaxy and therefore to constrain its shape relying only on photometric information. It also allows to probe degeneracies, i.e. to recover different deprojections at the same assumed orientation. With this method we can constrain the intrinsic shape of the $N$-body simulation, i.e. the axis ratios $p=b/a$ and $q=c/a$, with $Δp$ and $Δq$ $\lesssim$ 0.1 using only photometric information. The typical accuracy of the viewing angles reconstruction is 15-20$^\circ$. (ii) Our new triaxial Schwarzschild code SMART exploits the full kinematic information contained in the entire non-parametric line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) along with a 5D orbital sampling in phase space. (iii) We use a new generalised information criterion AIC$_p$ to optimise the smoothing and to select the best-fit model, avoiding potential biases in purely $χ^2$-based approaches. With our deprojected densities, we recover the correct orbital structure and anisotropy parameter $β$ with $Δβ$ $\lesssim$ 0.1. These results are valid regardless of the tested orientation of the simulation and suggest that even despite the known intrinsic photometric and kinematic degeneracies the above described advanced methods make it possible to recover the shape and the orbital structure of triaxial bodies with unprecedented accuracy.
