Measuring subhalo mass in redMaPPer clusters with CFHT Stripe 82 Survey

Published 6 Jul 2015 in astro-ph.CO | (1507.01464v2)

Abstract: We use the shear catalog from the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey to measure the subhalo masses of satellite galaxies in redMaPPer clusters. Assuming a Chabrier Initial Mass Function (IMF) and a truncated NFW model for the subhalo mass distribution, we find that the sub-halo mass to galaxy stellar mass ratio increases as a function of projected halo-centric radius rpr_p, from Msub/Mstar=4.43<sup>+</sup>6.63<em>2.23M_{\rm sub}/M_{\rm star}=4.43<sup>{+</sup> 6.63}<em>{- 2.23} at rp[0.1,0.3]r_p \in [0.1,0.3] h<sup>1Mpch<sup>{-1}Mpc to M</em>sub/Mstar=75.40<sup>+</sup>19.73<em>19.09M</em>{\rm sub}/M_{\rm star}=75.40<sup>{+</sup> 19.73}<em>{- 19.09} at rp[0.6,0.9]r_p \in [0.6,0.9] h<sup>1Mpch<sup>{-1}Mpc. We also investigate the dependence of subhalo masses on stellar mass by splitting satellite galaxies into two stellar mass bins: $10&lt;\log(M</em>{\rm star}/M_{\rm sun})&lt;10.5$ and $11&lt;\log(M_{\rm star}/M_{\rm sun})&lt;12$. The best-fit subhalo mass of the more massive satellite galaxy bin is larger than that of the less massive satellites: log(Msub/Msun)=11.14<sup>+</sup>0.66<em>0.73\log(M_{\rm sub}/M_{\rm sun})=11.14 <sup>{+</sup> 0.66 }<em>{- 0.73} (M</em>sub/Mstar=19.5<sup>+19.817.9M</em>{\rm sub}/M_{\rm star}=19.5<sup>{+19.8}_{-17.9}) versus log(Msub/Msun)=12.38<sup>+</sup>0.16<em>0.16\log(M_{\rm sub}/M_{\rm sun})=12.38 <sup>{+</sup> 0.16 }<em>{- 0.16} (M</em>sub/Mstar=21.1<sup>+7.47.7M</em>{\rm sub}/M_{\rm star}=21.1<sup>{+7.4}_{-7.7}).
