红色并购有多干?

How Dry Are Red Mergers?

Jennifer L. Donovan, J. E. Hibbard, J. H. van Gorkom

摘要:

当前星系演化研究的重点越来越多地转向了解合并对红色序列系统演化的影响。对于那些声称无耗散发生的相互作用(所谓的"干合并"),气体的作用似乎是最小的。然而,如果这些合并不是完全干燥的,那么即使是低水平的气体也可能被检测到。我们研究的目的是检验是否早型星系与HI或周围,或"湿"椭圆星系,将被选为干合并的标准在van Dokkum(2005,AJ,130,2647)。为此,我们研究了20个早期类型的样品从HI流氓画廊与中性氢在其直接的环境。其中,15个最亮和最红的星系符合光学干合并标准,但在每种情况下,HI的存在意味着它们不是真正干燥的。

英文摘要:

The focus of current research in galaxy evolution has increasingly turned to understanding the effect that mergers have on the evolution of systems on the red sequence. For those interactions purported to occur dissipationlessly (so called "dry mergers"), it would appear that the role of gas is minimal. However, if these mergers are not completely dry, then even low levels of gas may be detectable. The purpose of our study is to test whether early type galaxies with HI in or around them, or "wet" ellipticals, would have been selected as dry mergers by the criteria in van Dokkum (2005, AJ, 130, 2647). To that end, we examine a sample of 20 early types from the HI Rogues Gallery with neutral hydrogen in their immediate environs. Of these, the 15 brightest and reddest galaxies match the optical dry merger criteria, but in each case, the presence of HI means that they are not truly dry.
