WSRT HALOGAS调查

The WSRT HALOGAS Survey

George Heald, the HALOGAS Team

摘要:

我们提出了一个概述的HALOGAS(氢吸积在LOCALGALAXIES)调查,这是最深入的系统调查的冷气吸积在附近的螺旋星系的日期。使用深HI数据,形成调查的核心,我们能够检测到中性氢下降到一个典型的列密度限制约10 $^{19}$厘米$^{-2}$,从而表征低表面亮度平面外和高速中性气体在附近的星系具有良好的空间和速度分辨率。通过与复杂的运动学模型进行比较,我们的3D HALOGAS数据还使我们能够对这种大小的样本进行前所未有的详细研究。HALOGAS的关键科学成果包括对星系的恒星形成特性与其扩展的气体介质之间的联系的新见解,而正在发展的HALOGAS冷气体云和气流目录为附近螺旋的吸积历史提供了重要的见解。最后,我们激励一些悬而未决的问题,以解决使用即将到来的3D调查与现代一代射电望远镜。

英文摘要:

We present an overview of the HALOGAS (Hydrogen Accretion in LOcal GAlaxieS) Survey, which is the deepest systematic investigation of cold gas accretion in nearby spiral galaxies to date. Using the deep HI data that form the core of the survey, we are able to detect neutral hydrogen down to a typical column density limit of about 10$^{19}$ cm$^{-2}$ and thereby characterize the low surface brightness extra-planar and anomalous-velocity neutral gas in nearby galaxies with excellent spatial and velocity resolution. Through comparison with sophisticated kinematic modeling, our 3D HALOGAS data also allow us to investigate the disk structure and dynamics in unprecedented detail for a sample of this size. Key scientific results from HALOGAS include new insight into the connection between the star formation properties of galaxies and their extended gaseous media, while the developing HALOGAS catalogue of cold gas clouds and streams provides important insight into the accretion history of nearby spirals. We conclude by motivating some of the unresolved questions to be addressed using forthcoming 3D surveys with the modern generation of radio telescopes.
