Titolo: | The Entire Virial Radius of the Fossil Cluster RXJ 1159 + 5531. II. Dark Matter and Baryon Fraction | Autori: | Buote, David A. Su, Yuanyuan GASTALDELLO, FABIO BRIGHENTI, FABRIZIO |
Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 826 | Fascicolo: | 2 | Da pagina:: | 146 | Abstract: | In this second paper on the entire virial region of the relaxed fossil cluster RXJ 1159+5531, we present a hydrostatic analysis of the azimuthally averaged hot intracluster medium (ICM) using the results of Su et al. For a model consisting of ICM, stellar mass from the central galaxy (BCG), and an NFW dark matter (DM) halo, we obtain a good description of the projected radial profiles of ICM emissivity and temperature that yield precise constraints on the total mass profile. The BCG stellar mass component is clearly detected with a K-band stellar mass-to-light ratio, {M}<SUB>\star </SUB>/{L}<SUB>K</SUB>=0.61+/- 0.11 {M}<SUB>☉ </SUB>/{L}<SUB>☉ </SUB>, consistent with stellar population synthesis models for a Milky Way initial mass function. We obtain a halo concentration, {c}<SUB>200</SUB>=8.4+/- 1.0, and virial mass, {M}<SUB>200</SUB>=(7.9+/- 0.6)× {10}<SUP>13</SUP> {M}<SUB>☉ </SUB>. For its mass, the inferred concentration is larger than most relaxed halos produced in cosmological simulations with Planck parameters, consistent with RXJ 1159+5531 forming earlier than the general halo population. The baryon fraction at r <SUB>200</SUB>, {f}<SUB>{{b,200</SUB>}}=0.134+/- 0.007, is slightly below the Planck value (0.155) for the universe. However, when we take into account the additional stellar baryons associated with non-central galaxies and the uncertain intracluster light (ICL), {f}<SUB>{{b,200</SUB>}} increases by ≈ 0.015, consistent with the cosmic value and therefore no significant baryon loss from the system. The total mass profile is nearly a power law over a large radial range (∼0.2-10 R <SUB> e </SUB>), where the corresponding density slope α obeys the α -{R}<SUB>e</SUB> scaling relation for massive early-type galaxies. Performing our analysis in the context of MOND still requires a large DM fraction (85.0 % +/- 2.5 % at r = 100 kpc) similar to that obtained using the standard Newtonian approach. The detection of a plausible stellar BCG mass component distinct from the NFW DM halo in the total gravitational potential suggests that ∼ {10}<SUP>14</SUP> {M}<SUB>☉ </SUB> represents the mass scale above which dissipation is unimportant in the formation of the central regions of galaxy clusters. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24764 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-637X/826/2/146 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/0004-637X/826/2/146 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ApJ...826..146B | Fulltext: | open |
