HII Galaxy II Zw 40的内部动力学

The Internal Kinematics of the HII Galaxy II Zw 40

Vinicius Bordalo, Henri Plana, Eduardo Telles

摘要:

我们提出了一个著名的HII星系:II Zw 40的占主导地位的巨大HII区域的电离气体的运动学性质的研究。在Gemini-North望远镜的GMOS仪器上使用IFU模式获得了高空间和光谱分辨率的光谱。我们使用了一套运动学诊断图,如强度与速度色散强度与径向速度,在星云的子区域的全球和个人的分析。我们的目标是分离主要的线加宽机制负责产生一个平滑的超音速集成线轮廓的巨大的HII区域。最亮的中心区域(R ~ 50 pc)负责从对积分线轮廓的单次拟合导出的sigma。引力的主导作用,以及年轻(小于1千万年)大质量恒星的可能未解决的风,在这个小区域中应该是整个星暴区域的特征性H α速度剖面的原因。我们的观测结果表明,该星系尺度恒星形成区的星际介质的复杂结构与邻近的本星系群中的河外巨HII区非常相似。

英文摘要:

We present a study of the kinematic properties of the ionized gas in the dominant giant HII region of the well known HII galaxy: II Zw 40. High spatial and spectral resolution spectroscopy has been obtained using IFU mode on the GMOS instrument at Gemini-North telescope. We have used a set of kinematics diagnostic diagrams, such as the intensity vs. velocity dispersion intensity vs. radial velocity, for global and individual analysis in sub-regions of the nebula. We aim to separate the main line broadening mechanisms responsible for producing a smooth supersonic integrated line profile for the giant HII region. The brightest central region (R ~ 50 pc) is responsible for sigma derived from a single fit to the integrated line profile. The dominant action of gravity, and possibly unresolved winds of young (<10 Myr) massive stars, in this small region should be responsible for the characteristic Halpha velocity profile of the starburst region as a whole. Our observations show that the complex structure of the interstellar medium of this galactic scale star-forming region is very similar to that of nearby extragalactic giant HII regions in the Local Group galaxies.
