摘要:

巨大的低表面亮度星系(GLSB)有扁平的圆盘,延伸到~100 kpc。它们的形成是冷暗物质场景中宇宙学模拟的一个难题。我们认为,GLSB可能是碰撞环星系演化的最终产物。事实上,我们的模拟显示,在导致环形星系形成的碰撞之后大约0.5-1.5 Gyr,环不断膨胀和褪色,而盘变得非常大(~100 kpc)和平坦。在这个阶段,我们模拟的星系匹配的许多性质的GLSB(表面亮度剖面,形态,HI光谱和旋转曲线)。

英文摘要:

Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs) have flat discs extending up to ~100 kpc. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matter scenario. We suggest that GLSBs might be the final product of the evolution of collisional ring galaxies. In fact, our simulations show that, approximately 0.5-1.5 Gyr after the collision which led to the formation of the ring galaxy, the ring keeps expanding and fades, while the disc becomes very large (~100 kpc) and flat. At this stage, our simulated galaxies match many properties of GLSBs (surface brightness profile, morphology, HI spectrum and rotation curve).
