摘要:

我们报告了在室女星系团HI丰富的星系对NGC 4532/DDO 137西南方向发现的~500 kpc HI延伸,这是阿雷西博遗产快速ALFA(ALCAFA)巡天的一部分。这是迄今为止在室女星系团中发现的最长、质量最大的HI尾结构,距离M87 1.8 Mpc,也是距离星系团内介质主要集中区最远的。该结构在空间和光谱上被分成两个脊,由漫射发射和质量为2.5 - 6.8 x 10**7太阳质量的离散团块定义。所有的发射相对于NGC 4532/DDO 137对发射是蓝移的。包括漫射发射在内,该结构的总质量高达7 x 10**8太阳质量,相当于系统HI质量的10%。光学R波段成像没有发现26.5 mag arcsec**-2水平的对应物。该结构的特点似乎最符合潮汐起源。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a ~500 kpc HI extension southwest of the Virgo Cluster HI-rich pair NGC 4532/DDO 137, detected as part of the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) Survey. The feature is the longest and most massive HI tail structure so far found in the Virgo Cluster and, at 1.8 Mpc from M87, the most distant from the main concentration of the intracluster medium. The structure is spatially and spectrally separated into two ridges and is defined by diffuse emission and discrete clumps of mass 2.5 - 6.8 x 10**7 solar masses. All emission is blue-shifted with respect to the NGC 4532/DDO 137 pair emission. Including diffuse emission, the structure has a total mass of up to 7 x 10**8 solar masses, equivalent to ~10% of the system's HI mass. Optical R-band imaging finds no counterparts to a level of 26.5 mag arcsec**-2. The characteristics of the structure appear most consistent with a tidal origin.
