所有的凸起都到哪里去了?

Where have all the bulges gone?

Leonel Gutierrez, Antti Tamm, John Beckman, Louis Abramson, Peter Erwin, Melanie Guittet

摘要:

最近的几项研究表明,膨胀比仅仅是无结构的松弛恒星系统更复杂。我们研究了130个邻近早型盘星系的HST图像,发现只有12%的星系存在纯无结构的球壳,其Sersic指数n > 2。其他星系在其内部区域显示出不同的结构(内部棒,内部旋臂,内环),有时根本没有凸起。这些星系的内部结构更为常见,它们也在更大的尺度上显示出结构。

英文摘要:

Several recent studies indicate that bulges are more complex than merely structureless relaxed stellar systems. We study the HST images of a sample of 130 nearby early type (S0-Sab) disc galaxies and detect pure structureless bulges with the Sersic index n > 2 for only 12% of the galaxies. Other galaxies show varied substructure in their inner regions (inner bars, inner spiral arms, inner rings) and sometimes contain no bulge at all. Inner substructure is more common for these galaxies, which also display structure at larger scales.
