PDKEEPAAAAB 2718:一个Milky Way麦哲伦云类似物附近的PDKEEPAAA 4703相互作用对

UGC 4703 interacting pair near to an isolated spiral galaxy NGC 2718: A Milky Way Magellanic Cloud analogue

Sanjaya Paudel, C. Sengupta

摘要:

本文分析了位于银河型螺旋星系NGC 2718附近的一对相互作用的矮星系UGC 4703的物理和形态学性质。通过与大、小麦哲伦云(LMC和SMC)的物理和形态特征的比较,我们认为UGC 4703对-NGC 2718系统可能是一个LMC-SMC-MW类似物。在距离NGC 2718 81 kpc的天空投影距离上,我们发现UGC 4703与它附近的质量较小的伴星UGC 4703 B明显地相互作用,在它们之间形成了一座恒星流的桥梁。UGC 4703及其伴星的B波段总光度分别为-17.75和-16.25等。利用GMRT获得了UGC 4703的HI 21-cm谱线数据,得到了中性氢(HI)发射的更详细的图像。HI图像显示了矮星系对之间相互作用的证据,但在NGC 2781和UGC 4703矮星系对之间没有检测到像麦哲伦流(MS)那样的扩展发射。我们还发现了沿着UGC 4703/4703 B桥的恒星形成区域,恒星质量超过10 $^{7}$ M $_{\odot}$。通过比较UGC 4703- 4703 B和LMC-SMC两个相互作用矮星对的光学和HI形貌,讨论了它们相互作用历史的可能差异。

英文摘要:

We present an analysis of physical and morphological properties of an interacting pair of dwarf galaxies UGC 4703 located at the vicinity of an isolated Milky-Way (MW) type spiral galaxy NGC 2718. Based on the comparison of physical and morphological properties with that of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC), we report that the UGC 4703 pair-NGC 2718 system is probably an LMC-SMC-MW analogue. Located at a sky projected distance of 81 kpc from NGC 2718, we find that UGC 4703 is clearly interacting with its nearby smaller mass companion UGC 4703B forming a bridge of stellar stream between them. Total B-band luminosity of UGC 4703 and its companion is -17.75 and -16.25 mag, respectively. We obtained HI 21-cm line data of UGC 4703 using the GMRT to get a more detailed view of neutral hydrogen (HI) emission. The HI image revealed evidence of interaction between the dwarf galaxy pair but no extended emission, like Magellanic Stream (MS), was detected between NGC 2781 and the UGC 4703 dwarf pair. We also detected star-forming regions along the UGC 4703/ 4703B bridge with stellar mass exceeding 10$^{7}$ M$_{\odot}$. While comparing the optical and HI morphology of the interacting dwarf pairs (UGC 4703-4703B and LMC-SMC) we discuss possible difference in interaction histories of these systems.
