摘要:

我们证明在本文中,中性气体的速度宽度阻尼Ly阿尔法(DLA)系统是不一致的,这些系统起源于气体盘的星系类似于那些在本地宇宙。我们研究气体运动学的本地星系使用高质量的HI 21厘米的数据从HI附近的Galerkin Survey(THINGS),并与在DLAs在高红移观察到的低电离金属线测量的速度分布进行比较。z=0的HI气体在DLA柱密度极限N=2x10^20 cm-2以上的中值速度宽度约为30 km/s,而DLA中的典型值要高出两倍。我们认为,在较高的红移的气体运动学越来越多地受到气体,不参与有序旋转在冷磁盘,但更有可能与潮汐气体有关的星系相互作用或过程,如超级风和外流。对局部相互作用的星暴星系M82中的HI的分析表明,该星系中的速度宽度确实与DLAs中看到的相似。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate in this paper that the velocity widths of the neutral gas in Damped Ly Alpha (DLA) systems are inconsistent with these systems originating in gas disks of galaxies similar to those seen in the local Universe. We examine the gas kinematics of local galaxies using the high quality HI 21-cm data from the HI Nearby Galaxies Survey (THINGS) and make a comparison with the velocity profiles measured in the low-ionization metal lines observed in DLAs at high redshifts. The median velocity width of z=0 HI gas above the DLA column density limit of N=2x10^20 cm-2 is approximately 30 km/s, whereas the typical value in DLAs is a factor of two higher. We argue that the gas kinematics at higher redshifts are increasingly influenced by gas that is not participating in ordered rotation in cold disks, but is more likely associated with tidal gas related to galaxy interactions or processes such as superwinds and outflows. An analysis of the HI in the local interacting star-burst galaxy M82 shows that the velocity widths in this galaxy are indeed similar to what is seen in DLAs.
