We investigate the internal structure of elliptical galaxies at z ∼ 0.2 from a joint lensing–dynamics analysis. We model Hubble Space Telescope images of a sample of 23 galaxy–galaxy lenses selected from the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) survey. Whereas the original SLACS analysis estimated the logarithmic slopes by combining the kinematics with the imaging data, we estimate the logarithmic slopes only from the imaging data. We find that the distribution of the lensing-only logarithmic slopes has a median 2.08c ± 0.03 and intrinsic scatter 0.13 ± 0.02, consistent with the original SLACS analysis. We combine the lensing constraints with the stellar kinematics and weak lensing measurements, and constrain the amount of adiabatic contraction in the dark matter (DM) haloes. We find that the DM haloes are well described by a standard Navarro–Frenk–White halo with no contraction on average for both of a constant stellar mass-to-light ratio (M/L) model and a stellar M/L gradient model. For the M/L gradient model, we find that most galaxies are consistent with no M/L gradient. Comparison of our inferred stellar masses with those obtained from the stellar population synthesis method supports a heavy initial mass function (IMF) such as the Salpeter IMF. We discuss our results in the context of previous observations and simulations, and argue that our result is consistent with a scenario in which active galactic nucleus feedback counteracts the baryonic-cooling-driven contraction in the DM haloes.

Navarro-Frenk-White 轮廓很好地描述了 z ∼ 0.2 处大质量椭圆星系的暗物质晕

我们通过联合透镜-动力学分析研究了 z ∼ 0.2 处椭圆星系的内部结构。我们对从斯隆透镜 ACS (SLACS) 调查中选出的 23 个星系-星系透镜样本的哈勃太空望远镜图像进行建模。原始的 SLACS 分析通过将运动学与成像数据相结合来估计对数斜率,而我们仅根据成像数据估计对数斜率。我们发现仅透镜对数斜率的分布具有中值 2.08c ± 0.03 和固有散射 0.13 ± 0.02,与原始 SLACS 分析一致。我们将透镜约束与恒星运动学和弱透镜测量相结合,并约束暗物质 (DM) 晕圈中的绝热收缩量。我们发现 DM 晕可以用标准的 Navarro-Frenk-White 晕很好地描述,对于恒定恒星质光比 (M/L) 模型和恒星 M/L 梯度模型,平均没有收缩。对于 M/L 梯度模型,我们发现大多数星系与没有 M/L 梯度一致。将我们推断的恒星质量与从恒星种群合成方法获得的质量进行比较,支持重初始质量函数 (IMF),例如 Salpeter IMF。我们在之前的观察和模拟的背景下讨论了我们的结果,并认为我们的结果与活动星系核反馈抵消了 DM 晕中重子冷却驱动的收缩的情况一致。对于 M/L 梯度模型,我们发现大多数星系与没有 M/L 梯度一致。将我们推断的恒星质量与从恒星种群合成方法获得的质量进行比较,支持重初始质量函数 (IMF),例如 Salpeter IMF。我们在之前的观察和模拟的背景下讨论了我们的结果,并认为我们的结果与活动星系核反馈抵消了 DM 晕中重子冷却驱动的收缩的情况一致。对于 M/L 梯度模型,我们发现大多数星系与没有 M/L 梯度一致。将我们推断的恒星质量与从恒星种群合成方法获得的质量进行比较,支持重初始质量函数 (IMF),例如 Salpeter IMF。我们在之前的观察和模拟的背景下讨论了我们的结果,并认为我们的结果与活动星系核反馈抵消了 DM 晕中重子冷却驱动的收缩的情况一致。
