摘要:

[摘要]我们使用多波长测光和FLAMES/GIRAFFE 3D光谱成像,在z=0.6679处呈现并分析了J033241.88-274853.9的观测结果。J033241.88-274853.9是一个蓝色的年轻(约3.2亿年)恒星盘,嵌入在非常丰富的气体(fgas=73-82%,log(Mstellar/Mo)=9.45)和湍流相中,被发现在大空间尺度上旋转。我们发现了J033241.88-274853.9的两个不寻常的性质。(1)电离气体和年轻恒星的空间分布显示出强烈的去耦;虽然在南部几乎没有恒星可以检测到ACS/UDF图像的非常深的检测极限,但检测到[OII]电离气体的显著发射。(2)我们检测到过量的速度分散在南部的J033241.88-274853.9相比,从旋转盘模型的预期。我们考虑了两个磁盘形成的情况下,根据气相的几何形状。在第一个实验中,我们研究了J033241.88-274853.9是否可能是一个年轻的旋转盘,最近从一个预先存在的,非常富含气体的旋转盘坍塌。这种情况需要两个(未知的)额外的假设来解释恒星和气体分布之间的解耦以及同一区域中的速度色散。在第二种情况下,我们研究J033241.88-274853.9是否可能是两个富含气体的磁盘合并残留物。在这种情况下,观察到的气体和恒星分布之间的不对称性,以及过度的速度色散,找到一个共同的解释。在这个区域合并过程中产生的冲击可以很容易地电离并加热气体,同时阻止恒星形成。这使得这种情况比预先存在的富含气体的旋转盘的崩溃更令人满意。

英文摘要:

[Abridged] We present and analyze observations of J033241.88-274853.9 at z=0.6679, using multi-wavelength photometry and imaging with FLAMES/GIRAFFE 3D spectroscopy. J033241.88-274853.9 is found to be a blue, young (~320Myr) stellar disk embedded in a very gas-rich (fgas=73-82% with log(Mstellar/Mo)=9.45) and turbulent phase that is found to be rotating on large spatial scales. We identified two unusual properties of J033241.88-274853.9. (1) The spatial distributions of the ionized gaseous and young stars show a strong decoupling; while almost no stars can be detected in the southern part down to the very deep detection limit of ACS/UDF images, significant emission from the [OII] ionized gas is detected. (2) We detect an excess of velocity dispersion in the southern part of J033241.88-274853.9 in comparison to expectations from a rotating disk model. We considered two disk formation scenarios, depending on the gaseous phase geometry. In the first one, we examined whether J033241.88-274853.9 could be a young rotating disk that has been recently collapsed from a pre-existing, very gas-rich rotating disk. This scenario requires two (unknown) additional assumptions to explain the decoupling between the distribution of stars and gas and the excess of velocity dispersion in the same region. In a second scenario, we examine whether J033241.88-274853.9 could be a merger remnant of two gas-rich disks. In this case, the asymmetry observed between the gas and star distributions, as well as the excess of velocity dispersion, find a common explanation. Shocks produced during the merger in this region can be ionized easily and heat the gas while preventing star formation. This makes this scenario more satisfactory than the collapse of a pre-existing, gas-rich rotating disk.
