AI总结:

本文利用TNG50模拟研究超弥漫星系(UDGs)的球状星团运动学,发现受束缚GCs能准确示踪晕质量,但星团内GCs污染会高估速度弥散度,建议结合恒星运动学验证异常大质量晕。

摘要:

室女座星团中超弥漫星系(UDGs)周围球状星团(GCs)的速度弥散度跨度很大,包括某些GC运动学表明这些暗弱矮星系周围存在与银河系相当(甚至更大)的晕的情况。我们分析了从TNG50宇宙学模拟后处理中导出的GC目录,以研究星系群和星系团中模拟UDGs的GC系统运动学与丰度。该模拟中的UDGs仅存在于质量为$M_{200} \sim 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$的矮晕中。当仅考虑受引力束缚于模拟UDGs的GCs时,我们发现GCs的属性与对UDGs的多项观测结果高度吻合。特别是,从受束缚GCs的研究中未推断出偏向过大质量晕的现象,证实了GCs是UDG晕质量的良好示踪剂。然而,我们发现,在对我们的样本进行投影模拟观测时,星团内GCs的污染在某些情况下可能会大幅增加速度弥散度的估计值。我们警告,少于$10$个GC示踪剂的目标特别容易出现严重的不确定性。测量宿主星系的恒星运动学应有助于证实某些UDGs周围由GC运动学所暗示的异常大质量晕。

英文摘要:

The velocity dispersion of globular clusters (GCs) around ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo cluster spans a wide range, including cases where GC kinematics suggest halos as massive as (or even more massive than) that of the Milky Way around these faint dwarfs. We analyze the catalogs of GCs derived in post-processing from the TNG50 cosmological simulation to study the GC system kinematics and abundance of simulated UDGs in galaxy groups and clusters. UDGs in this simulation reside exclusively in dwarf-mass halos with $M_{200} \sim 10^{11}$ M$_{\odot}$. When considering only GCs gravitationally bound to simulated UDGs, we find GCs properties that overlap well with several observational measurements for UDGs. In particular, no bias towards overly massive halos is inferred from the study of bound GCs, confirming that GCs are good tracers of UDG halo mass. However, we find that contamination by intra-cluster GCs may, in some cases, substantially increase velocity dispersion estimates when performing projected mock observations of our sample. We caution that targets with less than $10$ GC tracers are particularly prone to severe uncertainties.Measuring the stellar kinematics of the host galaxy should help confirm the unusually massive halos suggested by GC kinematics around some UDGs
