摘要:

FIGGS(暗不规则星系GMRT巡天)旨在为最暗的富气星系的体积有限样本创建多波长观测数据库。在本文中,我们讨论了两个非常丰富的气体星系,观察的一部分,FIGGS调查,即NGC 3741和和IV。这些星系是不寻常的,因为它们有非常扩展的气体盘和非常高的暗物质与发光物质的比率。非常扩展的HI盘提供了一个独特的机会来追踪微弱星系周围暗物质的扩展分布。我们比较了这些星系的重子分数的样本的星系测量旋转曲线,并讨论是否极端气体丰富的矮星系有异常小的重子分数。

英文摘要:

The FIGGS (Faint Irregular Galaxy GMRT Survey) is aimed at creating a multi-wavelength observational data base for a volume limited sample of the faintest gas rich galaxies. In this paper we discuss two very gas rich galaxies that were observed as part of the FIGGS survey, viz. NGC 3741 and And IV. These galaxies are unusual in that they have extremely extended gas disks and very high ratios of dark to luminous matter. The very extended HI disks provide an unique opportunity to trace the extended distribution of dark matter around faint galaxies. We compare the baryon fraction of these galaxies with a sample of galaxies with well measured rotation curves and discuss whether extremely gas rich dwarf galaxies have abnormally small baryon fractions.
