极盘星系作为研究星系形成的新途径:NGC4650A个例

Polar Disk Galaxies as new way to study galaxy formation: the case of NGC4650A

E. Iodice

摘要:

NGC4650A是一个极盘星系:这是一个奇特的天体,由一个中心球状组成部分,宿主星系(HG)和一个由气体,恒星和尘埃组成的扩展盘组成,其轨道几乎垂直于中心星系的平面。角动量的两个解耦分量的存在使该物体成为理想的实验室i)研究引力相互作用和合并,ii)限制其暗物质晕的3D形状。鉴于这些应用,我将提出两个正在进行的项目,旨在通过对NGC4650A的观测结构、金属丰度和动力学的详细分析,限制i)极盘的形成情景和ii)暗晕的含量和形状。

英文摘要:

NGC4650A is a polar disk galaxy: this is a peculiar object composed by a central spheroidal component, the host galaxy (HG), and an extended disk made up by gas, stars and dust, which orbits nearly perpendicular to the plane of the central galaxy. The existence of two decoupled components of the angular momentum let this object the ideal laboratory i) to study gravitational interactions and merging and ii) to constrain the 3D shape of its dark matter halo. In view of these applications, I will present two ongoing projects which aim to constrain i) the formation scenario for polar disks and ii) the dark halo content and shape, through a detailed analysis of the observed structure, metallicity and dynamics of NGC4650A.
