- W2118311676 abstract "Precise radial velocity measurements from HIRES on the Keck I telescope are presented for 40 stars in the outer halo globular cluster NGC 2419. These data are used to probe the cluster's stellar mass function and search for the presence of dark matter in this cluster. NGC 2419 is one of the best Galactic globular clusters for such a study due to its long relaxation time (T_{r0} ~ 10^{10} yr) and large Galactocentric distance (R_{GC} ~ 90 kpc) -- properties that make significant evolutionary changes in the low-mass end of the cluster mass function unlikely. We find a mean cluster velocity of <v_r>=-20.3 +- 0.7 km/sec and an internal velocity dispersion of sigma = 4.14 +- 0.48 km/sec, leading to a total mass of (9.0 +- 2.2) * 10^5 Msun and a global mass-to-light ratio of M/L_V = 2.05 +- 0.50 in solar units. This mass-to-light ratio is in good agreement with what one would expect for a pure stellar system following a standard mass function at the metallicity of NGC 2419. In addition, the mass-to-light ratio does not appear to rise towards the outer parts of the cluster. Our measurements therefore rule out the presence of a dark matter halo with mass larger than ~10^7 Msun inside the central 500 pc, which is lower than what is found for the central dark matter densities of dSph galaxies. We also discuss the relevance of our measurements for alternative gravitational theories such as MOND, and for possible formation scenarios of ultra-compact dwarf galaxies." @default.
