摘要:

这是一系列论文中的第三篇,我们试图对盘星系中暗晕的扁平化进行限制。为此,我们需要分析所观测到的侧边星系的XV图,以准确测量径向HI面密度、旋转曲线和HI速度色散。我们提出了8个HI丰富的,晚型,边缘星系的HI观测建模的结果。在所有这些中,我们发现了微分旋转。大多数系统显示HI速度色散为6.5至7.5 km s $^{-1}$,除一个外,所有系统均显示径向结构。有一个最大的旋转速度,至少高达120公里秒$^{-1}$的平均HI速度色散的增加。接下来,我们分析观测结果,得出HI层厚度的径向变化(耀斑)。我们发现,除了不对称的IC 5052,我们的样本中的所有星系都是三维质量建模测量暗晕形状的良好候选者。耀斑的轮廓是对称的,有一个共同的形状,线性增加的恒星盘内和指数外的引力势是由暗晕为主。在最好的例子中,UGC 7321,我们发现在内部区域的小偏离中平面和伴随的HI层的厚度增加,这可能是一个相对较强的酒吧的扰动的结果。

英文摘要:

This is the third paper in a series in which we attempt to put constraints on the flattening of dark halos in disk galaxies. For this purpose we need to analyse the observed XV diagrams in edge-on galaxies to accurately measure the radial HI surface density, the rotation curve and the HI velocity dispersion. We present the results of the modelling of HI observations of 8 HI-rich, late-type, edge-on galaxies. In all of these we find differential rotation. Most systems display HI velocity dispersions of 6.5 to 7.5 km s$^{-1}$ and all except one show radial structure. There is an increase in the mean HI velocity dispersion with maximum rotation velocity, at least up to 120 km s$^{-1}$. Next we analyse the observations to derive the radial variation of the thickness (flaring) of the HI layer. We find that with the exception of the asymmetric IC5052, all of the galaxies in our sample are good candidates for 3D mass modelling to measure the dark halo shape. The flaring profiles are symmetric and have a common shape, increasing linearly inside the stellar disks and exponential outside where the gravitational potential is dominated by the dark halo. In the best example, UGC7321, we find in the inner regions small deviations from the midplane and accompanying increases in thickness of the HI layer that are possibly a result of perturbations by a relatively strong bar.
