孤立的Local Group矮星系的冲压压力剥离:群内介质的证据

Ram pressure stripping of an isolated Local Group dwarf galaxy: evidence for an intra-group medium

Alan W. McConnachie, Kim A. Venn, Mike J. Irwin, Lisa M. Young, Jonathan J. Geehan

摘要:

我们将孤立的本星系群矮星系飞马座(DDO 216)的恒星结构与Young等人(2003)的低分辨率HI图进行了比较。我们的比较表明,飞马座显示冲压压力剥离的特征形态,特别是,HI有一个“彗星”的外观,这是不反映在定期,椭圆形分布的恒星。这是第一次在孤立的本星系群中观察到这种现象。冲压压力剥离Pegasus所需介质的密度至少为$10^{-5} - 10^{-6}$,cm $^{-3}$。我们的结论是,这是一个星系间介质与本星系群的强有力的证据。

英文摘要:

We compare the stellar structure of the isolated, Local Group dwarf galaxy Pegasus (DDO216) with low resolution HI maps from Young et al. (2003). Our comparison reveals that Pegasus displays the characteristic morphology of ram pressure stripping; in particular, the HI has a ``cometary'' appearance which is not reflected in the regular, elliptical distribution of the stars. This is the first time this phenomenon has been observed in an isolated Local Group galaxy. The density of the medium required to ram pressure strip Pegasus is at least $10^{-5} - 10^{-6}$, cm$^{-3}$. We conclude that this is strong evidence for an inter-galactic medium associated with the Local Group.
