摘要:

我们用罗伯特C.伯德绿岸望远镜(GBT)在寻找类似的高速云(HVC)的中性氢在我们的星系周围发现。在-605 ~-85 km/s和25 ~ 1970 km/s的速度范围内搜索HI云。在内部2度x 2度上,7-sigma检测阈值为9.6 x 10^5 M_sun。我们探测到5个以前未知的HI云,以及许多相关的附加HI结构,都位于-105 < V_helio < +280 km/s的范围内。从云到星系群成员的角距离很小,以及星系群成员和云之间的速度差很小,我们得出结论,云最有可能是星系群中星系之间正在进行的相互作用的遗迹。

英文摘要:

We have observed a 3 degree x 3 degree area centered on the M81/M82 group of galaxies using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in a search for analogs to the High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) of neutral hydrogen found around our galaxy. The velocity range from -605 to -85 km/s and 25 to 1970 km/s was searched for HI clouds. Over the inner 2 degrees x 2 degrees the 7-sigma detection threshold was 9.6 x 10^5 M_sun. We detect 5 previously unknown HI clouds associated with the group, as well as numerous associated filamentary HI structures, all lying in the range -105 < V_helio < +280 km/s. From the small angular distance of the clouds to group members, and the small velocity difference between group members and clouds, we conclude that the clouds are most likely relics of ongoing interactions between galaxies in the group.
