摘要:

本文利用西班牙阿莱曼天文中心3.5米望远镜PPAK积分场单元的三维观测资料,给出了局部亮致密蓝星系(LCBG)NGC 7673电离气体的运动学性质。我们的数据揭示了一个不对称的旋转速度场的峰峰值差为60公里的$^{-1}$。的运动中心被发现是在一个中心的速度宽度最大值($σ=54\pm1$公里秒$^{-1}$),这是一致的整个星系的亮度加权质心的位置。从速度场等值线的方向测得的次旋转轴的位置角为168 $^{\circ}$。发现至少有两个分离的运动分量,第一个是紧凑的,与第二活跃的恒星形成区(B团)的位置相一致。第二个是扩展的,没有清晰的光学对应物。没有证据表明活跃的星系核活动或超新星星系风为这两个组成部分提供动力。然而,我们的数据显示了支持先前提出的小合并假设的证据,即一个矮星系,暂时被确定为星团B,正在落入NGC 7673。引发了星暴最后,它表明,该星系的动力学质量可能会被严重低估时,使用导出的旋转曲线或积分速度宽度,维里化的假设下。

英文摘要:

The kinematic properties of the ionized gas of local Luminous Compact Blue Galaxy (LCBG) NGC 7673 are presented using three dimensional data taken with the PPAK integral field unit at the 3.5-m telescope in the Centro Astronómico Hispano Alemán. Our data reveal an asymmetric rotating velocity field with a peak to peak difference of 60 km s$^{-1}$. The kinematic centre is found to be at the position of a central velocity width maximum ($σ=54\pm1$ km s$^{-1}$), which is consistent with the position of the luminosity-weighted centroid of the entire galaxy. The position angle of the minor rotation axis is 168$^{\circ}$ as measured from the orientation of the velocity field contours. At least two decoupled kinematic components are found. The first one is compact and coincides with the position of the second most active star formation region (clump B). The second one is extended and does not have a clear optical counterpart. No evidence of active galactic nuclei activity or supernovae galactic winds powering any of these two components has been found. Our data, however, show evidence in support of a previously proposed minor merger scenario in which a dwarf galaxy, tentatively identified with clump B, is falling into NGC 7673. and triggers the starburst. Finally, it is shown that the dynamical mass of this galaxy may be severely underestimated when using the derived rotation curve or the integrated velocity width, under the assumption of virialization.
