星系球状体的合并形成与演化

Formation and evolution of galactic spheroids by mergers

Thorsten Naab, Andreas Burkert, Peter H. Johansson, Roland Jesseit

摘要:

银河系球状体的形成是由于星系间的相互作用和星系盘的合并。详细分析的光度特性,内在的轨道结构,视线的速度分布和kinemetric的模拟合并残留物,这严重依赖于相互作用的祖先的几何形状和气体含量,表明低和中等质量的旋转椭圆可以形成合并的磁盘。所有大质量椭圆星系的质量和金属丰度以及某些大质量非旋转椭圆星系的运动学不能用双星合并来解释。因此,这些星系可能以不同的方式形成。

英文摘要:

Galactic spheroids can form as a result of galaxy interactions and mergers of disks. Detailed analyses of the photometric properties, the intrinsic orbital structure, the line-of-sight velocity distributions and the kinemetry of simulated merger remnants, which depend critically on the geometry and the gas content of the interacting progenitors, indicate that low and intermediate mass rotating ellipticals can form from mergers of disks. The masses and metallicities of all massive ellipticals and the kinematics of some massive non-rotating ellipticals cannot be explained by binary mergers. Thus these galaxies might have formed in a different way.
