摘要:

我们分析的旋转曲线和重力稳定性的一个样本的6个无凸星系的详细图像显示没有证据的强酒吧。我们探讨了两种情况:牛顿暗物质模型和改进的牛顿动力学(MOND)。通过调整恒星的质光比,暗物质模型可以同时满足这些星系的自转曲线和棒稳定性要求。为了与稳定性约束保持一致,在其中两个星系中,恒星的质光比星系颜色所建议的值低约1.5-2倍。相比之下,MOND适合的旋转曲线是穷人在三个星系,也许是因为气体示踪剂包含非圆形运动。杆的稳定性分析为MOND提供了一种新的观测检验方法。我们发现,大多数正在研究的星系需要异常高水平的随机恒星运动是酒吧稳定的MOND。特别是,对于样本中唯一一个测量了视线恒星速度色散的星系(NGC 6503),观测到的速度色散与MOND预测不一致,因为它远低于保证棒稳定性所需的值。精确测量(无棒和无凸)旋涡星系中的质量加权速度色散对于检验MOND的一致性至关重要。

英文摘要:

We analyse the rotation curves and gravitational stability of a sample of six bulgeless galaxies for which detailed images reveal no evidence for strong bars. We explore two scenarios: Newtonian dark matter models and MOdified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). By adjusting the stellar mass-to-light ratio, dark matter models can match simultaneously both the rotation curve and bar-stability requirements in these galaxies. To be consistent with stability constraints, in two of these galaxies, the stellar mass-to-light ratio is a factor of ~1.5-2 lower than the values suggested from galaxy colours. In contrast, MOND fits to the rotation curves are poor in three galaxies, perhaps because the gas tracer contains noncircular motions. The bar stability analysis provides a new observational test to MOND. We find that most of the galaxies under study require abnormally-high levels of random stellar motions to be bar stable in MOND. In particular, for the only galaxy in the sample for which the line-of-sight stellar velocity dispersion has been measured (NGC 6503), the observed velocity dispersion is not consistent with MOND predictions because it is far below the required value to guarantee bar stability. Precise measurements of mass-weighted velocity dispersions in (unbarred and bulgeless) spiral galaxies are crucial to test the consistency of MOND.
