NGC 1058中的HI速度分散

HI velocity dispersion in NGC 1058

A. O. Petric, M. P. Rupen

摘要:

我们提出了良好的分辨率和高灵敏度甚大阵列(VLA)的21厘米HI线发射的正面星系NGC 1058的观测,提供了第一个可靠的研究整个磁盘的外部星系的HI轮廓形状。我们的观测显示了一幅有趣的星际介质图像;在整个星系中,速度分散在4至15公里/秒之间,但与恒星形成、恒星或气体旋臂无关。速度弥散随半径减小,但这种全球趋势具有很大的分散性,因为存在几个孤立的高弥散分辨区域。恒星光随半径的衰减比速度色散或气体运动中能量的衰减要陡得多。

英文摘要:

We present excellent resolution and high sensitivity Very Large Array (VLA) observations of the 21cm HI line emission from the face-on galaxy NGC 1058, providing the first reliable study of the HI profile shapes throughout the entire disk of an external galaxy. Our observations show an intriguing picture of the interstellar medium; throughout this galaxy velocity-- dispersions range between 4 to 15 km/sec but are not correlated with star formation, stars or the gaseous spiral arms. The velocity dispersions decrease with radius, but this global trend has a large scatter as there are several isolated, resolved regions of high dispersion. The decline of star light with radius is much steeper than that of the velocity dispersions or that of the energy in the gas motions.
