Modeling the M101 Halo

✓ Two component fits :

  • An exponential disk .
  • A power law halo (α=-3).

✓ The Entire region & the West side : Slight excess at the outer region. ✓ Resolved stars + Integrated light ✓ Integrated light only (Merritt+16)

Mhalo/Mgal = ~ 0.5 %

(α =-2~-4) Mhalo,>5Rh/Mgal = 0.04±0.08%

We compare the halo properties of M101 with those of the six GHOSTS survey galaxies as well as the Milky Way and M31 and find that M101 has an anemic stellar halo similar to the Milky Way.

Comparison with observed halos and models

The M101 halo marks the low mass & metallicity end of the

  • bserved halos, but agrees with the model predictions.
