早型半导体中分子盘的性质
Molecular Disk Properties in Early-Type Galaxies
摘要:
我们研究了由富气盘星系合并形成的椭圆星系的CO辐射。在合并驱动的恒星暴增中没有被消耗掉的冷气体很快重新形成一个盘状结构。通过分析各种任意合并轨道,产生一系列的快速到缓慢旋转的残余物,我们发现,分子盘的形成是一个相当常见的结果富含气体的星系合并。因此,如果在早期合并残留物中观察到分子盘,它可能是“湿合并”而不是“干合并”的结果。我们比较了我们模拟的磁盘的物理特性(例如大小和质量),并发现与最近的观测结果相当吻合。最后,我们讨论了这些磁盘的可探测性,以帮助未来的观察。
英文摘要:
We study the simulated CO emission from elliptical galaxies formed in the mergers of gas-rich disk galaxies. The cold gas not consumed in the merger-driven starburst quickly resettles into a disk-like configuration. By analyzing a variety of arbitrary merger orbits that produce a range of fast to slow-rotating remnants, we find that molecular disk formation is a fairly common consequence of gas-rich galaxy mergers. Hence, if a molecular disk is observed in an early-type merger remnant, it is likely the result of a "wet merger" rather than a "dry merger". We compare the physical properties from our simulated disks (e.g. size and mass) and find reasonably good agreement with recent observations. Finally, we discuss the detectability of these disks as an aid to future observations.
