摘要:

节录。上下文矮星系的金属含量和星系际介质的金属富集都表明,星系的质量损失是星系,特别是矮星系的化学演化历史的一个重要因素。然而,到目前为止,还没有发现在本地矮星系中吹走的明确证据。目标。因此,我们对附近恒星形成的不规则矮星系NGC 2366中的中性和电离气体进行了详细的运动学分析,以预测气体的命运,并获得该星系更完整的图像。方法.获得了NGC2366的深Halalpha像和Fabry-Perot干涉数据。这些数据得到了来自"事物"调查的HI综合数据的补充。我们通过执行高斯分解来搜索Halpha和HI中的线分裂。为了了解膨胀速度是否足够高,足以让气体吹走,我们使用了伪等温晕模型,它为我们提供了NGC 2366的逃逸速度的实际值。良好的数据质量也使我们能够讨论NGC 2366的形态和动力学的一些特殊性。结果在巨大的河外HII区西北方向有一个大的红移外流,其膨胀速度高达50 km/s,在Halpha中被发现,但在HI中没有。此外,在巨大的河外HII区以北的一个蓝移分量在Halpha和HI中都被探测到,膨胀速度高达30公里/秒。与NGC 2366的逃逸速度相比,气体没有足够的动能离开引力势。

英文摘要:

Abridged. Context. The metal content of dwarf galaxies and the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium both suggest that mass loss from galaxies is a significant factor for the chemical evolution history of galaxies, in particular of dwarf galaxies. However, no clear evidence of a blow-away in local dwarf galaxies has been found so far. Aims. We therefore performed a detailed kinematic analysis of the neutral and ionised gas in the nearby star-forming irregular dwarf galaxy NGC 2366 in order to make predictions about the fate of the gas and to get a more complete picture of this galaxy. Methods. A deep Halpha image and Fabry-Perot interferometric data of NGC 2366 were obtained. They were complemented by HI synthesis data from the THINGS survey. We searched for line-splitting both in Halpha and HI by performing a Gaussian decomposition. To get an idea whether the expansion velocities are high enough for a gas blow-away, we used the pseudo-isothermal halo model, which gives us realistic values for the escape velocities of NGC 2366. The good data quality also allowed us to discuss some peculiarities of the morphology and the dynamics in NGC 2366. Results. A large red-shifted outflow north west of the giant extragalactic HII region with an expansion velocity of up to 50 km/s is found in Halpha, but not in HI. Additionally, a blue-shifted component north of the giant extragalactic HII region was detected both in Halpha and HI with an expansion velocity of up to 30 km/s. A comparison with the escape velocities of NGC 2366 reveals that the gas does not have enough kinetic energy to leave the gravitational potential.
