两个星系的故事:NGC891和NGC7814中的光和质量

A tale of two galaxies: light and mass in NGC891 and NGC7814

Filippo Fraternali, Renzo Sancisi, Peter Kamphuis

摘要:

两个边缘星系NGC 891和NGC 7814代表了两种极端的形态:前者是盘主导的,而后者几乎完全是膨胀主导的。有人认为(van der Kruit 1983),由于这两个星系在光学上是如此不同,它们有着相似的旋转曲线,它们的总质量分布不可能以任何方式与光分布相关。这将导致暗物质是质量的主要组成部分的结论。我们从最近的高灵敏度HI观测中得出了新的旋转曲线,并发现两个星系的旋转曲线的形状显着不同。它们表明,与NGC 891相比,NGC 7814的质量更集中于中心。这反映了在NGC 7814中比在NGC 891中更集中的光的分布。质量和光似乎是密切相关的。这一点通过分析质量分量中的旋转曲线得到了证实:接近最大光照(凸起+圆盘)的解决方案确实提供了出色的拟合。在NGC 891中,膨胀和盘可以解释旋转曲线,而不需要暗物质达到~15 kpc。在NGC 7814中,凸起在内部占主导地位;进一步向外,旋转曲线被最大圆盘很好地再现,但其M/L比过高。因此,与发光成分密切相关的大量暗物质的贡献似乎是必要的。

英文摘要:

The two edge-on galaxies NGC891 and NGC7814 are representative of two extreme morphologies: the former is disk-dominated while the latter is almost entirely bulge-dominated. It has been argued (van der Kruit 1983) that since the two galaxies, which are optically so different, have similar rotation curves their total mass distributions cannot be related in any way to the light distributions. This would lead to the conclusion that dark matter is the dominating component of the mass. We have derived new rotation curves from recent, high-sensitivity HI observations and have found that the shapes of the rotation curves are significantly different for the two galaxies. They indicate that in NGC7814 the mass is more concentrated to the centre as compared to NGC891. This reflects the distribution of light which is more centrally concentrated in NGC7814 than in NGC891. Mass and light do seem to be closely related. This is confirmed by the analysis of the rotation curves in mass components: solutions close to the maximum light (bulge + disk) do provide excellent fits. In NGC891 bulge and disk can explain the rotation curve without any need for dark matter out to ~15 kpc. In NGC7814 the bulge dominates in the inner parts; further out the rotation curve is well reproduced by a maximum disk but its M/L ratio is excessively high. A substantial dark matter contribution, closely coupled to the luminous component, seems, therefore, necessary.
