用一族降低的等温模型研究球状星团的动力学性质

Investigating Dynamical Properties of Globular Clusters through a Family of Lowered Isothermal Models

Chia-Hsuan Cheng, Ing-Guey Jiang

摘要:

为了研究球状星团的动力学性质,收集了球状星团的表面亮度和运动学数据,并将其拟合到一个称为LIMEPY模型的低等温模型族中。对于18个研究的球状星团,浓度,截断,和各向异性的金额进行了测定。此外,还得到了团簇的质量、半质量半径、距离和质光比。一般来说,LIMEPY模型可以很好地描述这些集群。在这18个星团中,NGC 5139、NGC 6388和NGC 7078在文献中被认为是中等质量黑洞的候选者。这些模型不能很好地拟合NGC 5139的中心自行速度频散和NGC 6388的自行速度-频散剖面的斜率。因此,可能需要考虑在星团中心有中等质量黑洞或一组恒星质量黑洞的更专用的模型。考虑到NGC 7078,我们的模型具有一定程度的各向异性,可以拟合的数据。最后,发现了强的浓度截断反关联和截断半长轴关联,这可能是球状星团动力学演化的观测印记。

英文摘要:

To investigate the dynamical properties of globular clusters, the surface brightness and kinematic data were collected and fitted to a family of lowered isothermal models called LIMEPY models. For 18 studied globular clusters, the amounts of concentration, truncation, and anisotropy were determined. In addition, the cluster mass, half-mass radius, distance, and mass-to-light ratio were also obtained. In general, LIMEPY models could describe these clusters well. Among these 18 clusters, NGC 5139, NGC 6388, and NGC 7078 were claimed to be candidates to host intermediate-mass black holes in literature. The models could not appropriately fit the central proper-motion velocity dispersion of NGC 5139 and the slope of proper-motion velocity-dispersion profile of NGC 6388. Thus, more dedicated models with intermediate-mass black holes or a group of stellar-mass black holes at cluster centers may need to be considered. Considering NGC 7078, our model with some degree of anisotropy can fit the data. Finally, the strong concentration-truncation anti-correlation and truncation-semimajor-axis correlation were revealed, which could be the observational imprint of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters.
