摘要:

我们研究的影响,建模的一个Boxy/花生(B/P)的凸起将有恒星的引力势,部队,轨道结构和酒吧的棒星系强度的估计。我们提出了一种从面密度图像中获得盘星系势的方法,假设密度为垂直分布(高度函数),这是让随着位置而变化,从而使它能够代表的几何形状的B/P。我们构造了一个B/P高度函数后,从一个高分辨率的结果,N-body+SPH模拟一个孤立的星系,并比较所得到的动力学模型与常用的,位置无关的“平坦”高度函数。我们发现,不允许B/P的方法可以引起高达40%的杆区域中的力的误差,并证明这对模型的轨道结构有显着的影响,这反过来又决定了它的运动学和形态学。此外,我们表明,酒吧的强度降低B/P的存在下,我们的结论是,忽略B/P的垂直范围可以引入相当大的误差的动态建模。我们还研究了由于B/P参数的不确定性在模型中引入的误差,并表明即使对于慷慨但现实的不确定性值,误差也会明显小于完全不建模B/P凸起的误差。

英文摘要:

We examine the effects that the modelling of a Boxy/Peanut (B/P) bulge will have on the estimates of the stellar gravitational potential, forces, orbital structure and bar strength of barred galaxies. We present a method for obtaining the potential of disc galaxies from surface density images, assuming a vertical density distribution (height function), which is let to vary with position, thus enabling it to represent the geometry of a B/P. We construct a B/P height function after the results from a high-resolution, N-body+SPH simulation of an isolated galaxy and compare the resulting dynamical model to those obtained with the commonly used, position-independent "flat" height functions. We show that methods that do not allow for a B/P can induce errors in the forces in the bar region of up to 40% and demonstrate that this has a significant impact on the orbital structure of the model, which in turn determines its kinematics and morphology. Furthermore, we show that the bar strength is reduced in the presence of a B/P. We conclude that neglecting the vertical extent of a B/P can introduce considerable errors in the dynamical modelling. We also examine the errors introduced in the model due to uncertainties in the parameters of the B/P and show that even for generous but realistic values of the uncertainties, the error will be noticeably less than that of not modelling a B/P bulge at all.
