又有两个盘状星系具有全球气体反旋

Two more disk galaxies with global gas counterrotation

O. K. Sil'chenko, A. V. Moiseev, V. L. Afanasiev

摘要:

我们报道了在早型盘星系NGC 2551和NGC 5631中发现的扩展的反向旋转气体盘。为了找到它们,我们进行了复杂的光谱观测,包括星系中心部分的积分场光谱和探测外部部分的长缝深光谱。视线的速度场已建成和比较的光度结构的星系。结果,我们发现了全尺寸的反向旋转气体盘,一个与NGC 2551的恒星盘共面,另一个倾斜于NGC 5631的主恒星盘。我们认为,我们观察到的早期阶段的小合并事件,这可能是两个不同的阶段的透镜状星系形成的过程中,在相当稀疏的环境。

英文摘要:

We report a discovery of extended counterrotating gaseous disks in early-type disk galaxies NGC 2551 and NGC 5631. To find them, we have undertaken complex spectral observations including integral-field spectroscopy for the central parts of the galaxies and long-slit deep spectroscopy to probe the external parts. The line-of-sight velocity fields have been constructed and compared to the photometric structure of the galaxies. As a result, we have revealed full-size counterrotating gaseous disks, the one coplanar to the stellar disk in NGC 2551 and the other inclined to the main stellar disk in NGC 5631. We suggest that we observe the early stages of minor-merger events which may be two different stages of the process of lenticular galaxy formation in rather sparse environments.
