摘要:

利用Sloan数字巡天数据发布7(SDSS DR 7)和星系动物园2(GZ 2)中的一组旋涡星系,研究了旋涡星系的自旋轴与周围大尺度结构的排列,其特征是利用一定质量阈值以上的星系群数据重建的大尺度潮汐场.我们发现,只有自旋轴有微弱的倾向,是对齐(或垂直于)本地潮汐张量的中(或短)轴。信号是最强的\cluster环境中的所有三个特征值的本地潮汐张量是积极的。与N体模拟中得到的晕自旋与局域潮汐场的一致性相比,上述观测结果与晕内区自旋的一致性最好,表明盘物质追踪了内区暗物质晕的角动量.

英文摘要:

Using a sample of spiral galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) and Galaxy Zoo 2 (GZ2), we investigate the alignment of spin axes of spiral galaxies with their surrounding large scale structure, which is characterized by the large-scale tidal field reconstructed from the data using galaxy groups above a certain mass threshold. We find that the spin axes of only have weak tendency to be aligned with (or perpendicular to) the intermediate (or minor) axis of the local tidal tensor. The signal is the strongest in a \cluster environment where all the three eigenvalues of the local tidal tensor are positive. Compared to the alignments between halo spins and local tidal field obtained in N-body simulations, the above observational results are in best agreement with those for the spins of inner regions of halos, suggesting that the disk material traces the angular momentum of dark matter halos in the inner regions.
