摘要:

(目的)提出一个星系J033239.72-275154.7形成的物理模型,该星系在z=0.41处观测到,其特征是一个大小为6 kpc的大年轻棒。这个系统的研究是特别有趣的了解合并和酒吧之间的联系,以及这个系统的属性和命运,因为它涉及到磁盘星系形成。(方法)利用GIRAFFE摄谱仪对J033239.72-275154.7星系的形态学和运动学性质进行了研究,并将其与包含恒星形成公式的理想N体模拟所描述的两个旋涡星系的合并结果进行了比较。(结果)当卫星初始处于逆行轨道,系统质量比为1:3时,可以很好地再现该天体的一般形态和大部分动力学性质。在这种情况下,在卫星第一次通过后,在宿主星系中形成了一个酒吧,其中一个重要部分的可用气体在诱导爆发中被消耗。然而,在它后来的演化中,我们发现J033239.72-275154.7,其主要祖先是一个Sab星系,可能会成为一个S 0星系。这主要是由于主星系在合并过程中经历了剧烈的弛豫和角动量损失,这是由所采用的轨道参数引起的。这一结果表明,哈勃序列的建立受到了最后一次大碰撞的显著影响。在目前的情况下,合并导致了一个严重的损害盘的祖先,导致演变成一个更突出的主导星系。

英文摘要:

(Aims) We present a physical model of the formation of J033239.72-275154.7, a galaxy observed at z=0.41 and characterized by a big young bar of size 6 kpc. The study of this system is particularly interesting for understanding the connection between mergers and bars as well as the properties and fate of this system as it relates to disk galaxy formation. (Methods) We compare the morphological and kinematic properties of J033239.72-275154.7, the latter obtained by the GIRAFFE spectrograph, to those derived from the merger of two spiral galaxies described by idealized N-body simulations including a star formation prescription. (Results) We found that the general morphological shape and most of the dynamical properties of the object can be well reproduced by a model in which the satellite is initially put in a retrograde orbit and the mass ratio of the system is 1:3. In such a scenario, a bar forms in the host galaxy after the first passage of the satellite where an important fraction of available gas is consumed in an induced burst. In its later evolution, however, we find that J033239.72-275154.7, whose major progenitor was an Sab galaxy, will probably become a S0 galaxy. This is mainly due to the violent relaxation and the angular momentum loss experienced by the host galaxy during the merger process, which is caused by the adopted orbital parameters. This result suggests that the building of the Hubble sequence is significantly influenced by the last major collision. In the present case, the merger leads to a severe damage of the disk of the progenitor, leading to an evolution towards a more bulge dominated galaxy.
