(galaxies :) local group : M81 group; galaxies : masses
Based on high precision measurements of the distances to nearby galaxies with the Hubble telescope, we have determined the radii of the zero velocity spheres for the local group, R-0 = 0.96 +/- 0.03Mpc, and for the group of galaxies around M 81/M 82, 0.89 +/- 0.05Mpc. These yield estimates of M-T = (1.29 +/- 0.14).10(12) M-circle dot and (1.03 +/- 0.17).10(12) M-circle dot, respectively, for the total masses of these groups. The R-0 method allows us to determine the mass ratios for the two brightest members in both groups, as well. By varying the position of the center of mass between the two principal members of a group to obtain minimal scatter in the galaxies on a Hubble diagram, we find mass ratios of 0.8:1.0 for our galaxy and Andromeda and 0.54:1.00 for the M82 and M81 galaxies, in good agreement with the observed ratios of the luminosities of these galaxies.
