室女星系团早型矮星的ALFALFA HI含量与恒星形成

ALFALFA HI Content and Star Formation in Virgo Cluster Early-Type Dwarfs

R. A. Koopmann, R. Giovanelli, M. P. Haynes, N. Brosch

摘要:

ALFALFA(阿雷西沃遗产快速ALFA)盲测正在提供一系列环境中所有类型星系的HI普查。在这里,我们报告的室女星系团早期类型的矮星之间的赤纬4和16度的ALTAFA的结果。只有不到2%的处女座早期型侏儒人口被检测到,相比之下,70-80%的Im/BCD侏儒人口。在HI中发现的大多数矮星都显示出正在进行或最近的恒星形成的证据。具有HI的早型星系往往位于星系团的外部区域,并且更亮。由于星团环境的影响,具有HI的早型矮星可能正在经历形态转变。

英文摘要:

The ALFALFA (Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA) blind survey is providing a census of HI in galaxies of all types in a range of environments. Here we report on ALFALFA results for Virgo Cluster early-type dwarfs between declinations of 4 and 16 degrees. Less than 2% of the Virgo early-type dwarf population is detected, compared to 70-80% of the Im/BCD dwarf population. Most of the dwarfs detected in HI show evidence for ongoing or recent star formation. Early-type galaxies with HI tend to be located in the outer regions of the cluster and to be brighter. Early-type dwarfs with HI may be undergoing morphological transition due to cluster environmental effects.
