摘要:

我们报告发现的阿雷西博遗产快速ALFA(ALCAFA)调查的八个HI功能不符合恒星对应的室女星系团地区。所有HI云的cz < 3000 km/s,如果在室女座距离,HI质量在1.9 x 10**7和1.1 x 10**9太阳质量之间。这八个天体中有四个是由先前的研究报告或暗示的,并被阿尔法“重新发现”。虽然有些云似乎与附近的光学星系有关,但其他云与恒星对应物没有明显的联系。其中两个嵌入在星团相对密集的区域,与M49和M86有关;它们以前是已知的。其他大部分位于集群的外围区域。特别值得注意的是,在M87西北方向3至5度的所谓M云中,有一个物体的集中,以及在M87和M49之间大约一半的地方投射出的几个云的复合体。被称为室女座21的物体被认为是一个“暗星系”,也被探测到,并显示出与NGC 4254有关的潮汐特征。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey of eight HI features not coincident with stellar counterparts in the Virgo Cluster region. All of the HI clouds have cz < 3000 km/s and, if at the Virgo distance, HI masses between 1.9 x 10**7 and 1.1 x 10**9 solar masses. Four of the eight objects were reported or hinted at by previous studies and "rediscovered" by ALFALFA. While some clouds appear to be associated with optical galaxies in their vicinity, others show no clear association with a stellar counterpart. Two of them are embedded in relatively dense regions of the cluster and are associated with M49 and M86; they were previously known. The others are mostly located in peripheral regions of the cluster. Especially notable are a concentration of objects towards the so-called M cloud, 3 to 5 degrees to the NW of M87, and a complex of several clouds projected roughly halfway between M87 and M49. The object referred to as VIRGOHI21 and proposed to be a "dark galaxy" is also detected and shown to be a tidal feature associated with NGC 4254.
