富气矮星系中的Angular Momentum含量

Angular Momentum Content in Gas Rich Dwarf Galaxies

Aditya Chowdhury, Jayaram N. Chengalur

摘要:

我们推导出特定的重子角动量的五个富含气体的矮星系的HI运动学补充恒星质量配置文件。由于这些星系的气体质量比恒星质量大得多,角动量可以在相对较小的不确定性下确定,这些不确定性来自恒星质量与光比的不确定性。我们比较了这些星系的比重子角动量(j)和重子总质量(M)之间的关系,发现螺旋星系。我们的组合样本探索了重子质量超过3个数量级的j-M平面。我们发现,我们的样本矮星有显着更高的比角动量比预期的关系发现的螺旋星系。发现这些富气矮星系遵循与旋涡星系相同关系的概率为$<10^{-6}$。这意味着这些星系的角动量演化与较大的星系不同。我们认为,这种差异可能会出现由于以下一个或多个:在矮星系的重子分数较低,特别是产生的优先外流低角动量气体中发现的高分辨率模拟,包括重子反馈;“冷模式”各向异性吸积宇宙细丝。我们的工作加强了j-M平面在理解星系演化中的重要性。

英文摘要:

We derive the specific baryonic angular momentum of five gas rich dwarf galaxies from HI kinematics complemented by stellar mass profiles. Since the gas mass of these galaxies is much larger than the stellar mass, the angular momentum can be determined with relatively little uncertainty arising from the uncertainties in the stellar mass to light ratio. We compare the relation between the specific baryonic angular momentum (j) and the total baryonic mass (M) for these galaxies with that found for spiral galaxies. Our combined sample explores the j-M plane over 3 orders of magnitude in baryon mass. We find that our sample dwarf have significantly higher specific angular momentum than expected from the relation found for spiral galaxies. The probability that these gas rich dwarf galaxies follow the same relation as spirals is found to be $<10^{-6}$. This implies a difference in the evolution of angular momentum in these galaxies compared to larger ones. We suggest that this difference could arise due to one or more of the following: a lower baryon fraction in dwarf galaxies, particularly that arising from preferential outflows low angular momentum gas as found in high resolution simulations that include baryonic feedback; "cold mode" anisotropic accretion from cosmic filaments. Our work reinforces the importance of the j-M plane in understanding the evolution of galaxies.
