Distribution of Dark Matter in Bulge, Disk and Halo inferred from High-accuracy Rotation Curves

چکیده
High-accuracy rotation curves of spiral galaxies show a steep rise in the central few hundred pc region, indicating high concentration of mass toward the center. Using the rotation curves, we idrectly calculate radial distributions of the surface-mass density (SMD), and obtain radial profiles of the mass-to-luminosity ratio (M/L). The M/L ratio is found to vary significantly not only in the massive halo but also within the bulge and disk regions. It increases with the radius within the disk, and rapidly toward halo. In some galaxies, the M/L increases inward toward the center within the bulge, indicating a massive dark core. On these bases, we discuss the radial distribution of dark matter in spiral galaxies.

Dark-Matter Distribution inferred from High-accuracy Rotation Curves
Abstract. Using high-accuracy rotation curves of spiral galaxies, we derive distributions of the surface mass density. Comparing with the luminosity profiles, we show that the dark mass in disk and bulge distributions follows those of luminous (stellar) mass, while luminous mass in halos does not follow dark mass. The darkmass fraction (DMF) increases with the radius in the disk, and rapidly to...

We present high-accuracy rotation curves, which show a steep nuclear rise and high-velocity central rotation, followed by a broad maximum in the disk and flat part. We use the rotation curves to directly calculate the radial distribution of surface mass density, and obtain radial variations of the mass-to-luminosity ratio (M/L). The M/L ratio and, therefore, the dark mass fraction (DMF) is not ...
متن کاملStructure of visible and dark matter components in spiral galaxies at redshifts z = 0 . 5 − 0 . 9
We have constructed self-consistent light and mass distribution models for four disk galaxies at redshifts z = 0.48, 0.58, 0.81 and 0.88, using the HST archive WFPC2 observations (HDF-S, MDS, Groth Strip survey) and rotation curves measured by Vogt et al. (1996) and Rigopoulou et al. (2002). The models consist of three components: a bulge, a disk and a dark matter halo. Similarly to the sample ...
متن کاملDynamical Models for Disk Galaxies with Triaxial Halos
We construct self-consistent dynamical models for disk galaxies with triaxial, cuspy halos. We begin with an equilibrium, axisymmetric, disk-bulge-halo system and apply an artificial acceleration to the halo particles. By design, this acceleration conserves energy and thereby preserving the system’s differential energy distribution even as its phase space distribution function is altered. The h...
متن کاملDark Bulge, Exponential Disk, and Massive Halo in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The rotation curve of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which we have derived from high-resolution HI position-velocity diagrams observed by Kim et al (1998), shows a steep central rise and flat rotation with a gradual rise toward the edge. Using the rotation curve, we have calculated the distribution of surface mass density, and show that the LMC has a dark compact bulge, an exponential disk, and a ...
