N体模拟中双棒Galerkin的可观测性质

Observable Properties of Double-Barred Galaxies in N-Body Simulations

Juntai Shen, Victor P. Debattista

摘要:

虽然至少有四分之一的早期型棒星系的次级恒星棒嵌入在它们的大尺度的主要对应物中,但这种双棒星系的动力学仍然没有得到很好的理解。最近,我们报告成功地模拟这样的系统在一个可重复的方式在无碰撞系统。为了加深我们对双棒星系的理解,我们在这里描述了这些星系的N体模拟的密度和运动学。这将有助于与观测结果进行比较,并有助于更好地理解所观测到的双棒星系。我们发现,我们模拟的二次酒吧的形状和大小是相当合理的观察相比。我们表明,一个真正的解耦的二级酒吧可能只产生一个弱的扭曲的运动学短轴在恒星速度场,由于相对较大的随机运动的恒星在中心区域。我们还发现,边缘上的核酒吧可能不相关的四四方方的花生形凸起,这是最有可能的边缘上的主要大型酒吧。最后,我们证明了非刚性旋转的二次杆的原因,其图案的速度不能得到很大的精度使用Türze-Weinberg方法。我们还比较了NGC 2950,一个典型的双棒早型星系,这表明核棒可能是在相反的意义上作为主要的旋转观测。

英文摘要:

Although at least one quarter of early-type barred galaxies host secondary stellar bars embedded in their large-scale primary counterparts, the dynamics of such double barred galaxies are still not well understood. Recently we reported success at simulating such systems in a repeatable way in collisionless systems. In order to further our understanding of double-barred galaxies, here we characterize the density and kinematics of the N-body simulations of these galaxies. This will facilitate comparison with observations and lead to a better understanding of the observed double-barred galaxies. We find the shape and size of our simulated secondary bars are quite reasonable compared to the observed ones. We demonstrate that an authentic decoupled secondary bar may produce only a weak twist of the kinematic minor axis in the stellar velocity field, due to the relatively large random motion of stars in the central region. We also find that the edge-on nuclear bars are probably not related to boxy peanut-shaped bulges which are most likely to be edge-on primary large-scale bars. Finally we demonstrate that the non-rigid rotation of the secondary bar causes its pattern speed not to be derived with great accuracy using the Tremaine-Weinberg method. We also compare with observations of NGC 2950, a prototypical double-barred early-type galaxy, which suggest that the nuclear bar may be rotating in the opposite sense as the primary.
