Ítem Dark matter fraction derived from the M31 rotation curve(EDP Sciences, 0025-02) Hammer F.; Yang Y.B.; Amram P.; Chemin L.; Mamon G.A.; Wang J.L.; Akib I.; Jiao Y.J.; Wang H.F.Mass estimates of a spiral galaxy derived from its rotation curve must account for the galaxy's past accretion history. There are several lines of evidence indicating that M31 experienced a major merger 2 to 3 Gyr ago. In this work, we generated a dynamical model of M31 as a merger remnant that reproduces most of its properties, including from the central bar to the outskirts. The model accounts for M31's past major merger and reproduces the details of its rotation curve, including its 14 kpc bump and the observed increase of velocity beyond 25 kpc. We find non-equilibrium and oscillatory motions in the gas of the merger-remnant outskirts caused by material in a tidal tail returning to the merger remnant. A total dynamical M31 mass of 4.5× 1011 M⊙ within 137 kpc was obtained after scaling it to the observed HI rotation curve. Within this radial distance, we find that 68% of the total dynamical mass is dark. © The Authors 2025.Ítem Dark matter fraction derived from the M31 rotation curve(EDP Sciences, 0025-02) Hammer F.; Yang Y.B.; Amram P.; Chemin L.; Mamon G.A.; Wang J.L.; Akib I.; Jiao Y.J.; Wang H.F.Mass estimates of a spiral galaxy derived from its rotation curve must account for the galaxy's past accretion history.

This implies a correlation between the infall lookback time of satellites and their binding energy. Cosmological simulations predict a linear relation between the infall lookback time and the logarithm of the binding energy, with a small scatter. Gaia measurements of the bulk proper motions of globular clusters and dwarf satellites of the Milky Way are sufficiently accurate to establish the kinetic energies of these systems. Assuming the gravitational potential of the Milky Way, we can deduce the binding energies of the dwarf satellites and those of the galaxies that were previously accreted by the Milky Way. This can be compared to cosmological simulations for the first time. The relation of the infall lookback time versus binding energy we found in a cosmological simulation matches that for the early accretion events when the simulated total Milky Way mass within 21 kpc was rescaled to 2 1011 M. This agrees well with previous estimates from globular cluster kinematics and from the rotation curve. However, the vast majority of the dwarf galaxies are clear outliers to this rescaled relation, unless they are very recent infallers. In other words, the very low binding energies of most dwarf galaxies compared to Sgr and previous accreted galaxies suggests that most of them were accreted much later than 8 or even 5 Gyr ago. We also found that the subhalo systems in some cosmological simulations are too dynamically hot when they are compared to identified Milky Way substructures. This leads to an overestimated impact of satellites on the Galaxy rotation curve. © 2024 EDP Sciences. All rights reserved.
