过去100亿年间盘状星系中的暗物质比例

Dark Matter Fraction in Disk-Like Galaxies Over the Past 10 Gyr

G. Sharma, G. van de Ven, P. Salucci, M. Martorano

AI总结:

本研究利用三维正演模拟和积分场光谱数据,测量了红移0.6至2.5间263个盘状星系的暗物质比例,发现其随半径增加、随红移降低,且低质量星系演化更显著。

摘要:

我们展示了一项对红移高达 $z \sim 2.5$ 的恒星形成盘状星系中暗物质比例的观测研究,这些星系选自公开可用的积分场光谱巡天:KMOS$^{\rm 3D}$、KGES 和 KROSS。为了对这些星系的 $Hα$ 运动学进行建模,我们采用了三维正演模拟,该方法包含了波束涂抹和倾角修正,并生成了旋转曲线。随后,这些旋转曲线针对气体压力梯度进行了修正,从而得到圆周速度曲线或“固有”旋转曲线。我们的最终样本包含263个旋转支持的、位于主序上的恒星形成星系,其红移范围为 $0.6 \leq z < 2.5$。我们通过从总质量中减去重子质量来估算这些星系的暗物质比例,其中总质量由固有旋转曲线推导得出。我们提供了新颖的观测证据,表明在固定红移下,暗物质比例随半径逐渐增加,使得星系外围由暗物质主导,这与局域恒星形成盘状星系类似。观测到的暗物质比例随红移增加呈下降趋势,并且平均而言,在有效半径(直至外围)内的比例保持在50%以上,与局域星系相似。我们研究了暗物质、重子面密度和星系圆周速度之间的关系。我们观察到,恒星质量较低($\log(M_{\rm star}\\ [\mathrm{M_\odot}]) \leq 10.0$)的星系经历了更高程度的演化,这可能归因于星系的层级并合。最重要的是,我们讨论了该领域中若干不确定性的来源和当前的局限性,以及它们对暗物质比例测量及其随星系尺度和宇宙时间变化趋势的影响。

英文摘要:

We present an observational study of the dark matter fraction in star-forming disk-like galaxies up to redshift $z \sim 2.5$, selected from publicly available integral field spectroscopic surveys: KMOS$^{\rm 3D}$, KGES, and KROSS. To model the $Hα$ kinematics of these galaxies, we employ 3D forward-modelling, which incorporates beam-smearing and inclination corrections, and yields rotation curves. Subsequently, these rotation curves are corrected for gas pressure gradients, resulting in circular velocity curves or `intrinsic' rotation curves. Our final sample comprises of 263 rotationally supported main sequence star-forming galaxies with redshifts ranging from $0.6 \leq z < 2.5$. We estimate the dark matter fraction of these galaxies by subtracting the baryonic mass from the total mass, where the total mass is derived from the intrinsic rotation curves. We provide novel observational evidence, suggesting that at a fixed redshift, the dark matter fraction gradually increases with radius such that the outskirts of galaxies are dark matter dominated, similarly to local star-forming disk galaxies. This observed dark matter fraction exhibits a decreasing trend with increasing redshift and, on average, the fraction within the effective radius (upto outskirts) remains above 50\%, similar to locals. We investigate the relationships between dark matter, baryon surface density, and circular velocity of galaxies. We observe that low stellar mass galaxies, with $\log(M_{\rm star}\ [\mathrm{M_\odot}]) \leq 10.0$, undergo a higher degree of evolution, which may be attributed to the hierarchical merging of galaxies. Most importantly, we discuss several sources of uncertainties and current limitations in the field, as well as their impact on the measurements of dark matter fraction and its trend across galactic scales and cosmic time.
