摘要:

我们利用GHAFAS和FANTOMM Fabry-Perot光谱仪的H-α发射数据立方体,对10个晚型棒旋星系进行了Tüve-Weinberg方法的计算。我们已经结合了派生的酒吧(和/或螺旋)模式的速度与角频率图来测量这些星系中的酒吧的共转半径。我们的基础上,我们的结果相结合,这种方法与形态学分析,旨在估计共转半径,酒吧长度比使用两个独立的技术档案近红外图像,虽然我们知道的限制应用的Tendee-温伯格方法使用电离气体观测,我们发现一贯优秀的酒吧和螺旋臂参数之间的协议使用不同的方法。在一般情况下,共转半径,测量使用的Tendee-温伯格方法,是密切相关的酒吧长度,独立于测光测量和与以前的研究一致。我们的共转/杆长比和模式速度值是在良好的协议,从数值模拟的酒吧一般结果。在系统中确定的二级酒吧,我们测量更高的H-α速度色散的环核区域,而在所有其他星系,我们检测到平坦的速度色散曲线。在数值模拟中,Tüve-Weinberg方法结果与形态分析和棒参数之间的良好一致性表明,尽管H-α发射气体不遵守连续性方程,但它可以用于推导棒图案速度。

英文摘要:

We have applied the Tremaine-Weinberg method to 10 late-type barred spiral galaxies using data cubes, in H-alpha emission, from the GHAFAS and FANTOMM Fabry-Perot spectrometers. We have combined the derived bar (and/or spiral) pattern speeds with angular frequency plots to measure the corotation radii for the bars in these galaxies. We base our results on a combination of this method with a morphological analysis designed to estimate the corotation radius to bar-length ratio using two independent techniques on archival near infrared images, and although we are aware of the limitation of the application of the Tremaine-Weinberg method using ionised gas observations, we find consistently excellent agreement between bar and spiral arm parameters derived using different methods. In general, the corotation radius, measured using the Tremaine-Weinberg method, is closely related to the bar length, measured independently from photometry and consistent with previous studies. Our corotation/bar-length ratios and pattern speed values are in good agreement with general results from numerical simulations of bars. In systems with identified secondary bars, we measure higher H-alpha velocity dispersion in the circumnuclear regions, whereas in all the other galaxies, we detect flat velocity dispersion profiles. The excellent agreement between the Tremaine-Weinberg method results and the morphological analysis and bar parameters in numerical simulations, suggests that although the H-alpha emitting gas does not obey the continuity equation, it can be used to derive the bar pattern speed.
