(Abridged) We investigate the intrinsic shapes of low-luminosity galaxies in the central 300 kpc of the Virgo cluster using deep imaging obtained as part of the NGVS. We build a sample of nearly 300 red-sequence cluster members in the yet unexplored $-14 < M_{g} < -8$ magnitude range. The observed distribution of apparent axis ratios is then fit by families of triaxial models with normally-distributed intrinsic ellipticities and triaxialities. We develop a Bayesian framework to explore the posterior distribution of the model parameters, which allows us to work directly on discrete data, and to account for individual, surface brightness-dependent axis ratio uncertainties. For this population we infer a mean intrinsic ellipticity E=0.43, and a mean triaxiality T=0.16. This implies that faint Virgo galaxies are best described as a family of thick, nearly oblate spheroids with mean intrinsic axis ratios 1:0.94:0.57. We additionally attempt a study of the intrinsic shapes of Local Group satellites of similar luminosities. For the LG population we infer a slightly larger mean intrinsic ellipticity E=0.51, and the paucity of objects with round apparent shapes translates into more triaxial mean shapes, 1:0.76:0.49. We finally compare the intrinsic shapes of NGVS low-mass galaxies with samples of more massive quiescent systems, and with field, star-forming galaxies of similar luminosities. We find that the intrinsic flattening in this low-luminosity regime is almost independent of the environment in which the galaxy resides--but there is a hint that objects may be slightly rounder in denser environments. The comparable flattening distributions of low-luminosity galaxies that have experienced very different degrees of environmental effects suggests that internal processes are the main drivers of galaxy structure at low masses--with external mechanisms playing a secondary role.

A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE). VIII. Modeling ram pressure stripping of diffuse gas in the Virgo cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4330
NGC 4330是室女座星系之一,其紫外线分布显示出尾结构。在HI和H $α$发射分布中也观察到相关的尾部结构。先前的动力学模型表明,星系正在接近星系团中心,因此正在经历越来越大的冲压压力剥离。最近的恒星星族拟合的深光学光谱与多波段测光导致恒星形成时,在银盘淬火的时间的测定。我们介绍了一个新版本的动力学模型,其中包括弥漫电离气体,旨在再现HI,H $α$,UV分布连同恒星形成的历史外无气体部分的银盘。50模拟的结果与五个不同的洛伦兹时间冲压压力分布和五个不同的延迟之间的模拟开始和峰值冲压压力。包括扩散气体剥离显着改变HI,UV,和H $α$发射分布。模拟与弥漫气体剥离自然导致垂直低表面密度细丝在顺风区的星系盘。在没有扩散气体剥离的模拟中,这些细丝出现的频率较低。扩散气体剥离的模拟导致更好的联合拟合的SED和光谱。最佳再现SED和光谱的模型快照的HI、NUV和H $α$形态充分不同以允许选择最佳拟合模型。我们的结论是,包括扩散气体剥离显着提高模型和观测之间的相似性。我们的首选模型得出未来达到峰值冲压压力的时间为1.4亿年。射电连续谱和弥漫H $α$尾的空间重合表明,两个气相被剥离在一起。

Dark-ages reionization and galaxy formation simulation--VII. The sizes of high-redshift galaxies
本文利用数值模拟项目中暗时代再电离和星系形成观测量的半解析模型研究了高红移星系的大小。我们的基准模型,包括来自超新星和光电离背景的强反馈,准确地再现了恒星质量函数和紫外光度函数的演变。利用这个模型,我们研究了星系的大小-光度关系,发现星系的有效半径与紫外光度成$R_\mathrm{e}\propto L^{0.25}$标度,在$z{\sim}5$-$9$。我们表明,最近在$z{\sim}7$(Bowler et al. 2016)和$z{\sim}11$(Oesch et al. 2016)发现的非常明亮的星系与我们预测的大小-光度关系有关。我们发现,在$z>8$的星系的一个显着的部分将不会被解决的JWST,但GMT将有能力解决所有星系的晕以上的原子冷却极限。我们表明,我们的基准模型成功地再现了平均星系大小的红移演化在$z>5$。我们还探索了没有超新星反馈的模型中的星系大小。非超新星反馈模型产生的星系大小比观测结果要小。因此,我们确认超新星反馈在确定星系的大小-光度关系及其再电离过程中的红移演化中起着重要的作用。

ATOMS: ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming regions -- VII. A catalogue of SiO clumps from ACA observations
为了了解SiO发射的性质,我们对146个大质量恒星形成区的SiO(2-1)线进行了ACA观测,作为ALMA大质量恒星形成区(ATOMS)调查的三毫米观测的一部分。我们在128(87.7 $\%$)源中检测到SiO发射,并确定了171个SiO团块,其中105个在空间上与3 mm连续发射分离。大量的SiO线轮廓(60 $\%$)是非高斯的。SiO线的速度色散范围为0.3 - 5.43 km/s $^{-1}$。在63个源中,SiO团簇与H $_\rm{II}$区域相关联,其特征在于H 40 $α$发射。我们发现,68 $\%$(116)的SiO团块与强流出。流出源和非流出源的SiO线的中值速度离散度分别为1.91 km s $^{-1}$和0.99 km s $^{-1}$。这些结果表明,外流活动可以连接到强烈冲击气体。速度弥散和[SiO]/[H $^{13}$ CO $^+$ ]强度比与尘埃温度和粒子数密度没有任何相关性。我们发现SiO线光度和热光度之间存在正相关关系,这意味着更强的激波活动与更亮的原星系团有关。在$L_\rm{sio}$ / $L_\rm{bol}$中,与H $_\rm{II}$区缔合的SiO团簇显示出较陡的特征。SiO线光度和激波气体分数与光度质量比($L_\rm{bol}/M$)所追踪的演化阶段没有明显的相关性。

A surprising consistency between the far-infrared galaxy luminosity functions of the field and Coma
我们呈现了欧空局赫歇尔空间天文台在70,100和160微米波长下的后发座星系团的新深度图像,覆盖了1.75 x 1.0平方度的区域,包括核心和西南部的坠落区域。我们的数据显示,在通量密度超过100毫焦耳年相比,空白领域的调查,如预期的源过剩。我们使用广泛的光学光谱的这一地区,以确定集群成员,从而产生集群光度函数在所有三个光度带。我们比较我们的结果本地场星系光度函数,和赫歇尔室女星系团调查(HeViCS)的光度函数。我们发现后发座和场星系光度函数在所有三个波长的形状之间的一致性,但我们没有找到相同的协议水平与室女星系团。
