摘要:

本文介绍了钱德拉探测器对两个巨大的低表面亮度星系UGC 2936和UGC 1455活动星系核的X射线辐射的观测结果。它们的X射线亮度分别为1.8 \times 10^{42}尔格/秒和1.1 \times 10^{40}尔格/秒。在这两个星系中,UGC 2936的射电噪声很大。与另一个LSB星系UGC 6614(XMM档案数据)一起,它们似乎都位于X射线-射电基本平面之上,它们的活动星系核具有黑洞质量,与位于相关性上的类似星系相比要低。然而,在这些星系的凸起是发达的,我们检测到弥漫的X射线发射从我们的样本中的八个星系。我们的研究结果表明,巨大的LSB星系的膨胀的演化独立于他们的晕占主导地位的磁盘是低的恒星形成和磁盘动力学。这些中心的演化路径类似于哈勃序列中以凸起为主的正常星系,但LSB盘仍然没有演化。因此,凸起和盘的演化是分离的,所以无论恒星形成过程产生了什么,凸起都不会影响盘。

英文摘要:

We present Chandra detections of x-ray emission from the AGN in two giant Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies, UGC 2936 and UGC 1455. Their x-ray luminosities are 1.8\times10^{42} ergs/s and 1.1\times10^{40} ergs/s respectively. Of the two galaxies, UGC 2936 is radio loud. Together with another LSB galaxy UGC 6614 (XMM archival data) both appear to lie above the X-ray-Radio fundamental plane and their AGN have black hole masses that are low compared to similar galaxies lying on the correlation. However, the bulges in these galaxies are well developed and we detect diffuse x-ray emission from four of the eight galaxies in our sample. Our results suggest that the bulges of giant LSB galaxies evolve independently of their halo dominated disks which are low in star formation and disk dynamics. The centers follow an evolutionary path similar to that of bulge dominated normal galaxies on the Hubble Sequence but the LSB disks remain unevolved. Thus the bulge and disk evolution are decoupled and so whatever star formation processes produced the bulges did not affect the disks.
