摘要:

目标。我们报告的第一个研究的奇特的环状星系HRG 2304(NED 02),这是以前被归类为一个环星系与椭圆光滑环。选择这个天体是为了证明它是处于环形成早期阶段的Solitaire型环星系的候选者。这项工作的主要目标是提供当前物体及其伴星AM 1646-795(NED 01)的光谱特征。方法.这项研究是基于光学波段的光谱观测,以突出这个相互作用的星系的特征。为了研究HRG 2304的恒星形成历史,我们使用了恒星星族合成程序STARLIGHT。直接V和B宽带图像用于增强某些精细结构。结果沿着整个长缝信号,HRG 2304及其伴星的光谱类似于早期星系的光谱。我们估计日心系统红移为z = 0.0415,对应于HRG 2304(NED 02)和AM 1646 -795(NED 01)的日心速度分别为12449 km s-1和12430 km s-1。这两个天体的恒星星族分量贡献的空间变化主要是由一个古老的恒星星族2x10^9 < t < 13x10^9年决定的。观测到的径向速度分布和HRG 2304周围的精细结构表明两个星系正在进行的潮汐相互作用。结论:HRG 2304的光谱结果和形态特征可以被充分地解释为与伴星系的持续相互作用。这两个星系都是早期型星系,伴星是椭圆形的,HRG 2304周围的物质和它的偏离中心的核在AM 1646 -795(NED 01)方向上的平滑分布表明HRG 2304是一个处于环形成早期阶段的孤舰型星系候选者。

英文摘要:

Aims. We report the first study of the peculiar ring-like galaxy HRG 2304 (NED02),which was previously classified as a ring galaxy with an elliptical smooth ring. This object was selected to prove that it is a candidate for the Solitaire-type ring galaxies in an early stage of ring formation. The main goal of this work is to provide the spectral characteristics of the current object and its companion AM 1646-795 (NED01). Methods. The study is based on spectroscopic observations in the optical band to highlight the characteristics of this interacting galaxy. To investigate the star formation history of HRG 2304 we used the stellar population synthesis code STARLIGHT. The direct V and B broad band images were used to enhance some fine structures. Results. Along the entire long-slit signal, the spectra of HRG 2304 and its companion resemble that of an early-type galaxy. We estimated a heliocentric systemic redshift of z = 0.0415, corresponding to heliocentric velocities of 12449 km s-1 for HRG 2304 (NED02) and 12430 km s-1 for AM1646-795 (NED01). The spatial variation in the contribution of the stellar population components for both objects are dominated by an old stellar population 2x10^9 < t < 13x10^9 yr. The observed radial-velocity distribution and the fine structures around HRG 2304 suggest an ongoing tidal interaction of both galaxies. Conclusions.The spectroscopic results and the morphological peculiarities of HRG 2304 can be adequately interpreted as an ongoing interaction with the companion galaxy. Both galaxies are early-type, the companion is elliptical, and the smooth distribution of the material around HRG 2304 and its off-center nucleus in the direction of AM1646-795 (NED01) characterize HRG 2304 as a Solitaire-type galaxy candidate in an early stage of ring formation.
