摘要：The aim of this work is to find a progenitor for Canes Venatici I (CVn I), under the assumption that it is a dark matter free object that is undergoing tidal disruption. With a simple point mass integrator, we searched for an orbit for this galaxy using its current position, position angle, and radial velocity in the sky as constraints. The orbit that gives the best results has the pair of proper motionsμα = −0.099 mas yr−1andμδ = −0.147 mas yr−1, that is, an apogalactic distance of 242.79 kpc and a perigalactic distance of 20.01 kpc. Using a dark matter free progenitor that undergoes tidal disruption, the best-fitting model matches the final mass, surface brightness, effective radius, and velocity dispersion of CVn I simultaneously. This model has an initial Plummer mass of 2.47 × 107 M⊙and a Plummer radius of 653 pc, producing a remnant after 10 Gyr with a final mass of 2.45 × 105 M⊙, a central surface brightness of 26.9 mag arcsec−2, an effective radius of 545.7 pc, and a velocity dispersion with the value 7.58 km s−1. Furthermore, it is matching the position angle and ellipticity of the projected object in the sky.
