AI 中文摘要
极暗矮星系是检验冷暗物质（CDM）范式下星系形成极限的关键试验场。我们采用一种半解析宇宙学卫星星系生成器，其可捕获预期的CDM晕星系群，通过两种方法估计银河系矮星系的密度分布：一种是利用恒星速度弥散的运动学方法，另一种是基于矮星系恒星质量的独立方法。运动学方法得出的中心暗物质密度多样性，比恒星-晕质量关系所推断的CDM星系群预期值更大，其中致密的极暗矮星系表现为密度过高，而较大的系统则表现为密度过低。对于拥有至少10颗光谱测量恒星的极暗矮星系，在半解析建模的所有考虑的系统学变化下，这种差异始终达到约2.4σ的水平。我们的框架引入了一种新颖且稳健的程序，用于检验观测到的银河系卫星星系群与宇宙学预期的一致性。随着未来巡天发现新的矮星系并完善恒星速度测量，更新该分析将为CDM范式提供日益严格的检验。
英文摘要
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are critical testing grounds for probing the limits of galaxy formation in the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. Employing a semi-analytic cosmological satellite generator that captures the expected CDM halo population, we estimate Milky Way dwarf density profiles through two methods: a kinematic approach using stellar velocity dispersions and a separate method based on dwarf stellar masses. The kinematic approach yields a larger diversity in central dark matter densities than expected from the CDM population, as inferred from the stellar-to-halo mass relation, with compact ultra-faints appearing overdense and larger systems appearing underdense. For the ultra-faint dwarfs with at least 10 stars with spectroscopic measurements, this discrepancy persists at the ~2.4$σ$ level across all considered systematic variations on the semi-analytic modeling. Our framework introduces a novel, robust procedure for testing the consistency of the observed population of Milky Way satellites with cosmological expectations. As future surveys discover new dwarf satellites and refine stellar velocity measurements, updating this analysis will provide an increasingly stringent test of the CDM paradigm.
