- W2087902145 abstract "We report the first detection of the intrinsic velocity dispersion of the Arches cluster - a young (~2 Myr), massive (~10,000 Solar Mass) starburst cluster located near the Galactic center. This was accomplished using proper motion measurements within the central region of the cluster, obtained with the laser guide star adaptive optics system at Keck Observatory over a 3 year time baseline (2006-2009). This uniform dataset results in proper motion measurements that are improved by a factor ~5 over previous measurements from heterogeneous instruments, yielding internal velocity dispersion estimates 0.15 +/- 0.01 mas/yr, which corresponds to 5.4 +/- 0.4 km/s at a distance of 8.4 kpc. Projecting a simple model for the cluster onto the sky to compare with our proper motion dataset, in conjunction with surface density data, we estimate the total present-day mass of the cluster to be 15,000 (+7400 -6000) Solar masses. The mass in stars observed within a cylinder of radius R=0.4 pc is found to be 9000 (+4000 -3500) Solar Masses at formal 3-sigma confidence. This mass measurement is free from assumptions about the mass function of the cluster, and thus may be used to check mass estimates from photometry and simulation. When we conduct this check, we find that the present-day mass function of the Arches cluster is likely either top-heavy or truncated at low-mass, or both. Collateral benefits of our data and analysis include: 1. cluster membership probabilities, which may be used to extract a clean cluster sample for future photometric work; 2. a refined estimate of the bulk motion of the Arches cluster with respect to the field, which we find to be 172 +/- 15 km/s, which is slightly slower than suggested by previous VLT-Keck measurements; and 3. a velocity dispersion estimate for the field itself, which is likely dominated by the inner galactic bulge and the nuclear disk." @default.
