我们首次测量了LEDA 4014647的恒星速度弥散，这是一个致密矮星系，在空间上与NGC 1052轨迹对齐，该轨迹是一条由暗物质缺失星系（DMDGs）组成的线性链，被认为是在约80亿年前一次高速矮星系-矮星系碰撞中形成的。利用凯克宇宙成像光谱仪（KCWI）获取的积分场光谱，我们在半光半径（$R_\mathrm{e}$）内测得恒星速度弥散为$\sigma = 15.8 \pm 2.0$ km s$^{-1}$。我们推导出三维半光半径内的动力学质量为$M_\mathrm{dyn}(<r_{1/2}) = (1.5 \pm 0.4) \times 10^8\\,M_\odot$，比所包含的恒星质量大约3倍，这意味着在$r_{1/2}$处暗物质占比为$f_\mathrm{DM} = 0.7 \pm 0.1$。全光谱恒星族拟合得出一个年老（$t \approx 13$ Gyr）且金属贫乏（$[\mathrm{M/H}] \approx -1.2$ dex）的恒星族，这与独立的光度估计一致，并且早于所提出的碰撞时期。因此，LEDA 4014647是一个暗物质主导的系统，不可能由产生所提出的轨迹DMDGs DF2、DF4和DF9的无暗物质、激波压缩气体形成。然而，其性质仍是一个悬而未决的问题：虽然沿轨迹轴的偶然投影是一种可能的解释，但其古老的恒星族、致密的形态和暗物质含量也与矮星系-矮星系碰撞中一个前身矮星系的幸存无碰撞残骸相符。区分这两种情景最终需要更深的光谱来加强恒星族和暗物质晕的约束，以及针对性的$N$体与流体动力学模拟，追踪前身星系遭遇后的命运。
英文摘要
We present the first measurement of the stellar velocity dispersion of LEDA 4014647, a compact dwarf galaxy spatially aligned with the NGC 1052 trail, a linear chain of dark matter-deficient galaxies (DMDGs) proposed to have formed in a single high-speed dwarf$-$dwarf collision $\sim 8$ Gyr ago. Using integral-field spectroscopy obtained with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), we measure a stellar velocity dispersion of $σ= 15.8 \pm 2.0$ km s$^{-1}$ within the half-light radius ($R_\mathrm{e}$). We derive a dynamical mass within the 3D half-light radius of $M_\mathrm{dyn}(<r_{1/2}) = (1.5 \pm 0.4) \times 10^8\,M_\odot$, a factor of $\sim 3$ larger than the enclosed stellar mass, implying a DM fraction of $f_\mathrm{DM} = 0.7 \pm 0.1$ at $r_{1/2}$. Full-spectrum stellar population fitting yields an old ($t \approx 13$ Gyr) and metal-poor ($[\mathrm{M/H}] \approx -1.2$ dex) stellar population, consistent with independent photometric estimates and predating the proposed collision epoch. LEDA 4014647 is therefore a DM-dominated system, and cannot have formed from the DM-free, shock-compressed gas that produced the proposed trail DMDGs DF2, DF4, and DF9. Its nature, however, remains an open question: while a chance-projection along the trail axis is a possible explanation, its old stellar population, compact morphology, and DM content are also consistent with the surviving collisionless remnant of one of the progenitor dwarfs of the dwarf$-$dwarf collision. Distinguishing between these two scenarios will ultimately require deeper spectroscopy to tighten the stellar population and DM halo constraints, and targeted $N$-body and hydrodynamical simulations tracking the post-encounter fate of the progenitors.
