Luminous and dark matter in spiral galaxies Irina Yegorova Fellow Symposium 8-10 June 2009 ESO, Garching Paolo Salucci (SISSA, Italy) Alessandro Pizzella (University of Padova, Italy) Uli Klein (University of Bonn, Germany) Gianfranco Gentile (Sterrenkundig Observatorium, Belgium) Kristine Spekkens (Kingston, Canada)

Freeman (1970) Properties of Spiral Galaxies Masses ~ 10 9 – 10 12 M M B ~ from -16 to -23 D ~ 5—100 kpc
4
Rotation curves of spiral galaxies NGC 2403 Discrepancy resolved by postulating dark matter Expected v c ~ r 1/2 beyond luminous region
5
The Tully-Fisher (TF) relation is an empirically established correlation between the luminosity L of a spiral galaxy and its rotational velocity V (Tully & Fisher, 1977)
6
Physical basis of the TF-relation From the equation of centrifugal equilibrium we get: V 0 – representative velocity, M - total mass, R c – characteristic radius of luminous matter - structural parameter depending on the shape of the mass distribution
7
The first equation can be written in this form: this equation can be written in the form of the Tully-Fisher relation:

Samples: 1 st sample: 967 spiral galaxies Mathewson (1992) 2 nd sample: 304 spiral galaxies Courteau (1997) 86 galaxies selected for analysis 3 sample: 329 spiral galaxies Vogt (2004) 81 galaxies selected for analysis Vmax
9
Radial TF-relation for 967 galaxies
10
Slope and scatter of the RTF-relation
11
Physical meaning of the slope The slope of the TF-relation steadily rises with distance due to the fact that the fractional amount of the dark matter in galaxies changes with the radius. increases with R this has influence on the slope
12
slope=-7,579; scatter=0.328; N of galaxies=843 slope=-5.54; scatter=0.49; N of galaxies=83 TF-relation using V max
14
Probing dark matter halos of spiral galaxies with their satellites 1.5 - 2 satellites per host galaxy Zaritsky (1993): 45 primaries – 69 satellites Kitt Peak 2.3 m Sales & Lambas (2004): 1498 primaries – 3079 satellites 2dFGRS 3.9 m T. Breinerd (2004) 3 samples: 1351 primaries – 2084 satellites, 948 primaries – 1294 satellites, 400 primaries – 658 satellites SDSS 2.5 m
