Query: The ELIXR Galaxy Survey. II: Baryons and Dark Matter in an Isolated
  Elliptical Galaxy   The Elliptical Isolated X-ray (ElIXr) Galaxy Survey is a volume-limited
(<110Mpc) study of optically selected, isolated, Lstar elliptical galaxies, to
provide an X-ray census of galaxy-scale (virial mass, Mvir < 1e13 Msun)
objects, and identify candidates for detailed hydrostatic mass modelling. In
this paper, we present a Chandra and XMM study of one such candidate, NGC1521,
and constrain its distribution of dark and baryonic matter. We find a
morphologically relaxed hot gas halo, extending almost to R500, that is well
described by hydrostatic models similar to the benchmark, baryonically closed,
Milky Way-mass elliptical galaxy NGC720. We obtain good constraints on the
enclosed gravitating mass (M500=3.8e12+/-1e12 Msun, slightly higher than
NGC\thin 720), and baryon fraction (fb500=0.13+/-0.03). We confirm at 8.2-sigma
the presence of a dark matter (DM) halo consistent with LCDM. Assuming a
Navarro-Frenk-White DM profile, our self-consistent, physical model enables
meaningful constraints beyond R500, revealing that most of the baryons are in
the hot gas. Within the virial radius, fb is consistent with the Cosmic mean,
suggesting that the predicted massive, quasi-hydrostatic gas halos may be more
common than previously thought. We confirm that the DM and stars conspire to
produce an approximately powerlaw total mass profile (rho \propto r^-alpha)
that follows the recently discovered scaling relation between alpha and optical
effective radius. Our conclusions are insensitive to modest, observationally
motivated, deviations from hydrostatic equilibrium. Finally, after correcting
for the enclosed gas fraction, the entropy profile is close to the self-similar
prediction of gravitational structure formation simulations, as observed in
massive galaxy clusters.
