AI总结:

本研究利用哈勃空间望远镜22年的观测数据,结合深度学习方法和Gaia EDR3数据,测量了仙女座III的绝对自行,分析其轨道后证实它属于仙女座大卫星平面系统,且受M31引力束缚。

摘要:

我们利用时间基线长达22年(前所未有)的ACS/WFC和WFPC2曝光数据,测量了仙女座III的绝对自行。WFPC2曝光数据采用了最新开发的深度学习定心流程,以及改进后的相机天体测量校准方法进行处理。绝对自行零点由98个星系和16颗Gaia EDR3恒星确定。\n 测得的自行结果为$(μ_α , μ_δ) = (-10.5\boldsymbol{±}12.5, 47.5\boldsymbol{±}12.5)~μ$as yr$^{-1}$。我们采用两种M31质量与自行估计值,对仙女座III开展了轨道分析。研究发现,仙女座III的轨道符合仙女座大卫星平面系统的动力学成员特征,不过与此前的两颗卫星NGC 147和NGC 185相比,其对齐程度稍弱。若M31的质光质量$M_{\text{vir}}\boldsymbol{≥} 1.5\boldsymbol{×}10^{12}\boldsymbol{,}M_{\boldsymbol{\bigodot}}$,则仙女座III受M31引力束缚。

英文摘要:

We measure the absolute proper motion of Andromeda III using ACS/WFC and WFPC2 exposures spanning an unprecedented 22-year time baseline. The WFPC2 exposures have been processed using a deep-learning centering procedure recently developed as well as an improved astrometric calibration of the camera. The absolute proper motion zero point is given by 98 galaxies and 16 Gaia EDR3 stars. The resulting proper motion is $(μ_α , μ_δ) = (-10.5\pm12.5, 47.5\pm12.5)~μ$as yr$^{-1}$. We perform an orbit analysis of And III using two estimates of M31's mass and proper motion. We find that And III's orbit is consistent with dynamical membership to the Great Plane of Andromeda system of satellites although with some looser alignment compared to the previous two satellites NGC 147 and NGC 185. And III is bound to M31 if M31's mass is $M_{\mathrm{vir}}\geq 1.5\times10^{12}\,M_{\odot}$.
