The rotation curves of regularly rotating disc galaxies are a unique probe of the gravitational potential and dark matter distribution. Until recently, matter decomposition of rotation curves at $z>0.5$ was challenging, not only due to the lack of high resolution kinematic data but also of both suitable photometry to accurately trace the stellar surface density and spatially-resolved sub-mm observations to trace the cold gas distribution. In this paper, we analyse three galaxies from the Archival Large Program to Advance Kinematic Analysis (ALPAKA) sample, combining highly resolved cold gas observations from ALMA with rest-frame near-infrared imaging from JWST to investigate their dynamical properties and constrain their dark matter halos. The galaxies, initially classified as regularly rotating discs based on ALMA observations alone, appear in JWST as extended and symmetric stellar discs with spiral arms. Our dynamical models reproduce the rotation of the discs in the outer parts well, but they systematically underpredict the inner rotation velocities, revealing a deficit of central mass relative to the data. This discrepancy indicates either an underestimation of the bulge masses due to variations in the stellar mass-to-light ratio or dust attenuation or the presence of overmassive black holes. Alternatively, it may suggest departures from standard dark-matter halo profiles, including enhanced central concentrations.

NIHAO XXVIII: Collateral effects of AGN on dark matter concentration and stellar kinematics
虽然活动星系核(AGN)的反馈需要在星系的模拟,以调节恒星的形成,进一步的下游效应的暗物质分布的晕和恒星运动学的中央星系可以预期。我们结合数值模拟的星系和无AGN物理的一百天体(NIHAO)研究AGN的暗物质轮廓和中央恒星旋转的宿主星系的影响。具体地说,我们研究了活动星系核反馈如何影响浓度-晕质量($c-M$)关系和恒星自旋参数($λ_R$)。我们发现活动星系核物理是至关重要的,以减少模拟的大质量($\gtrsim 10^{12}$ M $_\odot$)星系的中心密度,并使其浓度与斯皮策测光和精确旋转曲线(SPITZER)样品的结果一致。同样地,活动星系核反馈在复制ATLAS $^{3\text{D}}$巡天观测到的慢旋子和快旋子之间的二分法中起着关键作用。由于AGN反馈,没有恒星形成抑制,快速旋转的数量大大超过了观测限制。我们的研究表明,有几个附带的影响,支持活动星系核反馈在星系形成的重要性,这些影响可以用来限制其实施的数值模拟。
