چکیده

We analyse VLT/MUSE observations of PGC 046832, the brightest cluster galaxy Abell 3556. The velocity structure this is startling and shows two reversals in sign along minor axis, one major axis. use triaxial Schwarzschild models to infer intrinsic shape, central black hole mass orbit distribution galaxy. shape determination suggests that highly centre (almost prolate) but has a low triaxiality oblate) outer parts. best-fit model kinematic reversal projected axis driven by slight asymmetry amount long tubes inner are high fraction counter-rotating orbits at intermediate radii Using chemical tagging model, we do not find evidence for any association these with specific stellar population parameters. Although part almost certainty formed through or more dry mergers producing prolate parts consistent both accretion situ formation. While axisymmetric presence supermassive $\sim 6 \times 10^9$M$_{\odot}$ 10^{10}$M$_{\odot}$ (with Jeans modelling, resp), provide only an upper limit 2 10^9$M$_{\odot}$.

Modelling the dynamical evolution of the Bootes dwarf spheroidal galaxy

We investigate a wide range of possible evolutionary histories for the recently discovered Bootes dwarf spheroidal galaxy, a Milky Way satellite. By means of N -body simulations we follow the evolution of possible progenitor galaxies of Bootes for a variety of orbits in the gravitational potential of the Milky Way. The progenitors considered cover the range from dark-matter-free star clusters t...

Interloper treatment in dynamical modelling of galaxy clusters

The aim of this paper is to study the efficiency of different approaches to interloper treatment in dynamical modelling of galaxy clusters. Using cosmological N -body simulation of standard ΛCDM model we select 10 massive dark matter haloes and use their particles to emulate mock kinematic data in terms of projected galaxy positions and velocities as they would be measured by a distant observer...

The Dynamical State of Massive Galaxy Clusters

We study the mass distribution of a sample of 24 X-ray bright Abell clusters through weak gravitational lensing. This method is independent of the dynamical state of the galaxy cluster. Hence, by comparing dynamical and lensing mass estimators, we can access the dynamical state of these clusters. We have found that clusters with ICM temperatures above 8 keV show strong deviations from the relax...

The Dynamical Equilibrium of Galaxy Clusters

If a galaxy cluster is effectively in dynamical equilibrium then all galaxy populations within the cluster must have distributions in velocity and position that individually reflect the same underlying mass distribution, although the derived virial masses can be quite different. Specifically, within the CNOC cluster sample the virial radius of the red galaxy population is, on the average, a fac...

A Dynamical Model of the Inner Galaxy

An extension of Schwarzschild’s (1979) galaxy-building technique is presented that, for the first time, enables one to build Schwarzschild models with known distribution functions (DFs). The new extension makes it possible to combine a DF that depends only on classical integrals with orbits that respect non-classical integrals. With such a combination Schwarzschild’s orbits are used only to rep...
