摘要:

我们报告了八个螺旋星系的HI观测结果,这些星系是强透镜背景源。我们的目标是从Sloan WFC(宽视场相机)边缘上的新型镜头调查(SWELLS)中选择的,使用Arecibo,Karl G。Jansky甚大阵列和绿岸望远镜。我们在z=0.063,信噪比为6.7,W50=79+/-13 km/s的情况下安全地探测到J1703+2451,首次在强螺旋透镜中探测到HI发射。我们测得该源的质量为M(HI)= 1.77+/-0.06(+0.35/-0.75)× 10^9 M_(sol)。我们发现,这个透镜是一个正常的螺旋,具有相当典型的螺旋星系的可观察到的属性。对于其他三个来源,我们没有确保检测;然而,我们能够对这些星系的HI质量进行严格的限制。由于强烈的射频干扰,我们对四个源的观测结果无法使用。

英文摘要:

We report HI observations of eight spiral galaxies that are strongly lensing background sources. Our targets were selected from the Sloan WFC (Wide Field Camera) Edge-on Late-type Lens Survey (SWELLS) using the Arecibo, Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and Green Bank telescopes. We securely detect J1703+2451 at z=0.063 with a signal-to-noise of 6.7 and W50=79+/-13 km/s, obtaining the first detection of HI emission in a strong spiral lens. We measure a mass of M(HI)= 1.77+/-0.06(+0.35/-0.75) x 10^9 M_(sol) for this source. We find that this lens is a normal spiral, with observable properties that are fairly typical of spiral galaxies. For three other sources we did not secure a detection; however, we are able to place strong constraints on the HI masses of those galaxies. The observations for four of our sources were rendered unusable due to strong radio frequency interference.
