- W3105995142 abstract "We present the velocity dispersion of red giant branch stars in M31's halo, derived by modeling the line-of-sight velocity distribution of over 5000 stars in 50 fields spread throughout M31's stellar halo. The data set was obtained as part of the Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda's Stellar Halo (SPLASH) Survey, and covers projected radii of 9 to 175 kpc from M31's center. All major structural components along the line of sight in both the Milky Way (MW) and M31 are incorporated in a Gaussian Mixture Model, including all previously identified M31 tidal debris features in the observed fields. The probability that an individual star is a constituent of M31 or the MW, based on a set of empirical photometric and spectroscopic diagnostics, is included as a prior probability in the mixture model. The velocity dispersion of stars in M31's halo is found to decrease only mildly with projected radius, from 108 km s−1 in the innermost radial bin (8.2 to 14.1 kpc) to ∼80 to 90 km s−1 at projected radii of ∼40–130 kpc, and can be parameterized with a power law of slope −0.12 ± 0.05. The quoted uncertainty on the power-law slope reflects only the precision of the method, although other sources of uncertainty we consider contribute negligibly to the overall error budget." @default.
