具有弱螺旋结构的早型矮星系IC 3328的性质

On the nature of IC 3328, an early-type dwarf galaxy with weak spiral structure

Thorsten Lisker, Burkhard Fuchs

摘要:

在室女星系团中发现了各种具有盘状特征的早期型矮星系,包括尽管没有气体但显示出微弱的宏伟设计螺旋臂的物体。这些星系是否仍然与经典的dEs有关,或者它们是普通螺旋星系的延续?其中一个星系IC 3328的运动学信息质量可以接受。我们进行调查的动力学配置,考虑到非对称漂移的影响,并使用Toomre参数以及密度波的考虑。导出的质光比和旋转速度表明,除了磁盘的一个显着的动态热组件的存在。然而,明确的结论需要等待进一步的数据的可用性,这和其他早期类型的矮星与螺旋结构。

英文摘要:

Various early-type dwarf galaxies with disk features were identified in the Virgo cluster, including objects that display weak grand-design spiral arms despite being devoid of gas. Are these still related to the classical dEs, or are they a continuation of ordinary spiral galaxies? Kinematical information of acceptable quality is available for one of these galaxies, IC 3328. We perform an investigation of its dynamical configuration, taking into account the effect of asymmetric drift, and using the Toomre parameter as well as density wave considerations. The derived mass-to-light ratios and rotational velocities indicate the presence of a significant dynamically hot component in addition to the disk. However, unambiguous conclusions need to await the availability of further data for this and other early-type dwarfs with spiral structure.
