大质量螺旋星系中盘的形成

The formation of disks in massive spiral galaxies

F. Hammer, M. Puech, H. Flores

摘要:

螺旋星系内部旋转曲线的平坦性被解释为不可见物质晕的印记。利用对遥远星系最深处的观测,我们研究了巨大的圆盘是如何形成的。观测包括空间分辨的运动学,详细的形态和测光从紫外线到中红外线。六千兆年前,一半的现今的螺旋有异常的运动学和形态,大大影响了散射的塔利费舍尔关系。所有的异常星系都可以通过富含气体的主要合并来模拟,这些合并导致了一个新的圆盘的重建。螺旋重建的情况下,提出了一个新的渠道,以形成大磁盘在今天的螺旋,它占所有观察到的演变,因为过去6千兆年。恒星形成的很大一部分与整个持续时间内的合并事件有关。

英文摘要:

The flatness of the rotation curve inside spiral galaxies is interpreted as the imprint of a halo of invisible matter. Using the deepest observations of distant galaxies, we have investigated how large disks could have been formed. Observations include spatially resolved kinematics, detailed morphologies and photometry from UV to mid-IR. Six Giga-years ago, half of the present-day spirals had anomalous kinematics and morphologies that considerably affect the scatter of the Tully Fisher relation. All anomalous galaxies can be modelled through gas-rich, major mergers that lead to a rebuilt of a new disk. The spiral-rebuilding scenario is proposed as a new channel to form large disks in present-day spirals and it accounts for all the observed evolutions since the last 6 Giga-years. A large fraction of the star formation is linked to merging events during their whole durations.
