摘要:

本文介绍了后发座星系团RB 199、IC 4040、GMP 2923和GMP 3071四个成员星系周围的超扩展电离气体(EIG)的深度成像和光谱观测结果。这些EIGs是在后发座星系团中心区域的H-α窄带成像调查中偶然发现的。相对于母星系的系统速度,EIGs的相对径向速度几乎随着距离各自星系核的距离而单调增加,在距离星系40 - 80 kpc时达到-400-800 km/s。EIGs的单侧形态和速度场与冲压压力剥离的数值模拟预测一致。我们在IC 4040的东南边缘发现了一个非常低速的暗条(v_rel = -1300 km/s)。在RB 199和IC 4040的EIGs中,一些明亮的致密结显示出蓝色连续谱和强的H-α发射。H-α发射的等效宽度超过200 A,并且对于某些结大于1000 A。这些结的发射线强度比与亚太阳丰度HII区的发射线强度比基本一致。这些事实表明,密集的恒星形成发生在结。一些灯丝,包括IC 4040 EIG的低速灯丝,表现出类似冲击的发射线光谱,表明冲击加热在EIG的电离和激发中起着重要的作用。

英文摘要:

We present the results of deep imaging and spectroscopic observations of very extended ionized gas (EIG) around four member galaxies of the Coma cluster of galaxies: RB199, IC4040, GMP2923 and GMP3071. The EIGs were serendipitously found in an H-alpha narrow band imaging survey of the central region of the Coma cluster. The relative radial velocities of the EIGs with respect to the systemic velocities of the parent galaxies from which they emanate increase almost monotonically with the distance from the nucleus of the respective galaxies, reaching -400 - -800 km/s at around 40 - 80 kpc from the galaxies. The one-sided morphologies and the velocity fields of the EIGs are consistent with the predictions of numerical simulations of ram pressure stripping. We found a very low-velocity filament (v_rel = -1300 km/s) at the southeastern edge of the disk of IC4040. Some bright compact knots in the EIGs of RB199 and IC4040 exhibit blue continuum and strong H-alpha emission. The equivalent widths of the H-alpha emission exceed 200 A, and are greater than 1000 A for some knots. The emission line intensity ratios of the knots are basically consistent with those of sub-solar abundance HII regions. These facts indicate that intensive star formation occurs in the knots. Some filaments, including the low velocity filament of the IC4040 EIG, exhibit shock-like emission line spectra, suggesting that shock heating plays an important role in ionization and excitation of the EIGs.
