高倾斜半导体激光器紫外晕的探测

Detection of Ultraviolet Halos around Highly Inclined Galaxies

Edmund Hodges-Kluck, Joel Bregman

摘要:

我们报告的扩散紫外光发现晚型星系周围的5-20千秒差距的中面使用雨燕和GALEX图像。这种发射与早期型星系的恒星外围一致,但与晚期型星系的情况不同,后者的发射是相当蓝色的,与由从星系逃逸的光和晕中散射的尘埃提供动力的反射星云一致。我们的研究结果与Menard等人(2010)在灭绝中发现的晕尘的预期一致,在几kpc的磁盘范围内,并暗示如果尘埃主要存在于Mg II吸收体中,星系晕中的热和冷气体量相当(20 kpc范围内为几× 10^8 Msun)。这些结果也突出了紫外光光度学在研究单个星系晕方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of diffuse ultraviolet light around late-type galaxies out to 5-20 kpc from the midplane using Swift and GALEX images. The emission is consistent with the stellar outskirts in the early-type galaxies but not in the late-type galaxies, where the emission is quite blue and consistent with a reflection nebula powered by light escaping from the galaxy and scattering off dust in the halo. Our results agree with expectations from halo dust discovered in extinction by Menard et al. (2010) to within a few kpc of the disk and imply a comparable amount of hot and cold gas in galaxy halos (a few x 10^8 Msun within 20 kpc) if the dust resides primarily in Mg II absorbers. The results also highlight the potential of UV photometry to study individual galaxy halos.
