星系盘外部的恒星和气体:延伸或截断-平坦或扭曲?

The stars and gas in outer parts of galaxy disks: Extended or truncated -- flat or warped?

P. C. van der Kruit

摘要:

我审查的截断恒星盘和模型的起源,比较观察截断在适度倾斜的星系,在边缘上的系统,并讨论截断和HI-翘曲和它们的系统学和起源之间的关系。截断是一种常见的功能,在恒星盘的边缘,但截断的关系,在面对的边缘星系需要进一步澄清。截断的起源很可能与形成恒星盘的物质中特定角动量的最大值有关,但这个模型可能确实需要角动量的重新分布。HI-扭曲开始时刚好超过截断半径,磁盘和扭曲显示为不同的组件。这表明内盘最初形成并稳定为刚性的、非常平坦的结构,而HI扭曲是由后来具有不同角动量方向的气体注入造成的。

英文摘要:

I review observations of truncations of stellar disks and models for their origin, compare observations of truncations in moderately inclined galaxies to those in edge-on systems and discuss the relation between truncations and HI-warps and their systematics and origin. Truncations are a common feature in edge-on stellar disks, but the relation of truncations in face-on to those in edge-on galaxies needs further clarification. The origin of truncations is most likely related to a maximum in the specific angular momentum in the material that formed the stellar disks, but this model does probably require some redistribution of angular momentum. HI-warps start just beyond the truncation radius and disks and warps appear distinct components. This suggests that inner disks form initially and settle as rigid, very flat structures, while HI-warps result from later infall of gas with a different orientation of the angular momentum.
