摘要:

我们提出了一个具有代表性的样品的傅立叶光度分解的结果~100孤立的Sb-Sc CIG/AMIGA星系。通过描述螺旋结构形态,补充了Durbala等人2008年对同一样品的分析。我们估计动态措施,如扭矩强度的酒吧和螺旋,也总的非轴对称扭矩。我们探讨星系的螺旋和酒吧组件之间的相互作用。傅立叶条的长度和对比度都沿着形态序列Sb-Sbc-Sc减小,早期类型的条更长,并且显示出更高的对比度。Sb型星系的棒比Sc型星系的棒长约3倍。我们发现,较长的酒吧不一定更强(如量化的扭矩Q_{b}措施),但较长的酒吧显示出更高的对比度,在非常好的协议与理论预测。我们的数据表明,酒吧和螺旋组件是相当独立的意义上说,这两个组件的扭矩强度不相关。总强度Q_{g}是棒强度Q_{b}的非常可靠的示踪剂,这两个量显示出非常紧密的线性相关性。与从OSUBGS中提取的盘星系类似样本的比较表明,孤立的CIG/AMIGA星系主机显着更长的傅立叶酒吧,并可能显示出不同的螺旋扭矩分布Q_{s}。傅立叶分析还揭示了一个潜在的情况下,逆旋螺旋结构(NGC 5768),值得进一步的运动学研究。我们发现m = 2(即,在Sb-Sc CIG/AMIGA星系中,旋臂多重数m = 2&3和m = 1&2的比例分别为28%和13%。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a Fourier photometric decomposition of a representative sample of ~100 isolated Sb-Sc CIG/AMIGA galaxies. It complements the analysis presented in Durbala et al. 2008 for the same sample by allowing a description of the spiral structure morphology. We estimate dynamical measures like torque strength for bar and spiral, and also the total nonaxisymmetric torque. We explore the interplay between the spiral and bar components of galaxies. Both the length and the contrast of the Fourier bars decrease along the morphological sequence Sb-Sbc-Sc, with bars in earlier types being longer and showing higher contrast. Bars of Sb galaxies are ~3x longer than bars in Sc types. We find that longer bars are not necessarily stronger (as quantified by the torque Q_{b} measure), but longer bars show a higher contrast, in very good agreement with theoretical predictions. Our data suggests that bar and spiral components are rather independent in the sense that the torque strengths of the two components are not correlated. The total strength Q_{g} is a very reliable tracer of the bar strength Q_{b}, the two quantities showing a very tight linear correlation. Comparison with a similar sample of disk galaxies extracted from the OSUBGS indicates that the isolated CIG/AMIGA galaxies host significantly longer Fourier bars and possibly show a different distribution of spiral torque Q_{s}. The Fourier analysis also revealed a potential case of counterwinding spiral structure (NGC 5768), which deserves further kinematic study. We find that m = 2 (i.e., dominating two-armed pattern) is the most common spiral arm multiplicity among the sample of Sb-Sc CIG/AMIGA galaxies (~40%), m = 2&3 and m = 1&2 are found in ~28% and ~13% of isolated galaxies, respectively.
