摘要:

这是第二个文件的一系列中,我们试图把限制扁平的黑暗晕盘星系。为此目的,我们观察的HI在边缘上的星系,在那里它是在原则上可以测量的力场在晕垂直和径向分别从气体层耀斑和旋转曲线分解。为了计算力场,我们需要分析观测到的XV图,以准确测量描述星系平面运动学和分布的所有三个函数:径向HI表面密度,旋转曲线和HI速度色散。在本文中,我们讨论了以前用于测量这些HI性能的方法的改进和局限性。我们扩展的恒定速度分散的方法,包括确定的HI速度分散作为galactocentric半径的函数,并进行广泛的测试的质量的适合。在本系列的第三篇论文中,我们将把这种“径向分解XV建模方法”应用于我们对8个HI丰富的晚型边缘星系的HI观测。

英文摘要:

This is the second paper of a series in which we attempt to put constraints on the flattening of dark halos in disk galaxies. For this purpose, we observe the HI in edge-on galaxies, where it is in principle possible to measure the force field in the halo vertically and radially from gas layer flaring and rotation curve decomposition respectively. To calculate the force fields, we need to analyse the observed XV diagrams to accurately measure all three functions that describe the planar kinematics and distribution of a galaxy: the radial HI surface density, the rotation curve and the HI velocity dispersion. In this paper, we discuss the improvements and limitations of the methods previously used to measure these HI properties. We extend the constant velocity dispersion method to include determination of the HI velocity dispersion as a function of galactocentric radius and perform extensive tests on the quality of the fits. We will apply this 'radial decomposition XV modelling method' to our HI observations of 8 HI-rich, late-type, edge-on galaxies in the third paper of this series.
