THE MASS OF M31 THE FULLY SELF-CONSISTENT DYNAMICAL MODEL GALAXY
COFFEE MPIA 2012
DAN FOREMAN-MACKEY DANFM.CA GITHUB.COM/DFM NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LARRY WIDROW WITH:
QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, CANADA
WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO? BUILD A TOOL FOR
DYNAMICAL MODELING OF DISK GALAXIES USING ALL AVAILABLE DATASET SELF-CONSISTENTLY PHYSICALLY MOTIVATED i.e. not mass modeling...
WHAT HAVE WE DONE? BUILT A MODEL OF ANDROMEDA USING
A LOT OF DATASETS SELF-CONSISTENTLY PHYSICALLY MOTIVATED * *WAIT TWO SLIDES
van der Marel & Guhathakurta (2008) Widrow, Pym & Dubinski
(2005) Evans & Wilkinson (2000) Kuijken & Dubinski (1995) WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM?
Radius HI-rotation curve Corbelli et al. (2010) surface brightness profile
Barmby et al. (2006) satellite galaxy kinematics PAndAS, SPLASH, et al. Conn et al. (2011, in prep) ~10 kpc ~500 kpc Data PLUS: HALO STARS GLOBULAR CLUSTERS PLANETARY NEBULAE ETC.
