摘要:

我们目前的HST/ACS成像的23个非常低的表面亮度($μ_{e,V}$ =25-27.5)的星系在附近的四个星系群的领域检测。这些物体是从蜻蜓长焦阵列获得的深层光学成像中选出的。其中七个是新发现的,而其他大多数是以前在对深层照相底片的目视调查和最近的调查中发现的。以前很少有人详细研究过。从ACS图像中,我们测量的距离的星系使用的红巨星分支的方法和表面亮度波动的方法的尖端。我们证明了这两种方法是一致的,在该制度中,两者都可以应用。在20个稳定测量的星系中,有15个星系的距离在误差范围内与目标群的距离一致。这表明,假设组成员仅仅基于预测的接近度是75%的成功,在这个制度。这些星系近似圆形,中轴比为0.85,在视觉上类似于矮球状星系。这些天体的大小范围从$R_e$ =0.4千秒差距到$R_e$ =1.8千秒差距不等,中值为1.0千秒差距。它们的光度范围从$M_V$ =-11.4到$M_V$ =-15.6,中值为-12.4。具有$R_e$ ~1千秒差距和$M_V$ ~ 12千秒差距的镓在本地群中相当罕见,但我们在这个相对较小的样本中发现了许多。其中4个天体属于超漫射星系(UDG),$R_e$ >1.5 kpc,$μ_{0,V}$ >24 mag/arcsec ^[2],包括最近发现的暗物质缺乏星系NGC 1052-DF 2。

英文摘要:

We present HST/ACS imaging of twenty-three very low surface brightness ($μ_{e,V}$=25-27.5) galaxies detected in the fields of four nearby galaxy groups. These objects were selected from deep optical imaging obtained with the Dragonfly Telephoto Array. Seven are new discoveries, while most of the others had been identified previously in visual surveys of deep photographic plates and more recent surveys. Few have previously been studied in detail. From the ACS images, we measure distances to the galaxies using both the tip of the red giant branch method and the surface brightness fluctuations method. We demonstrate that the two methods are consistent with each other in the regime where both can be applied. The distances to 15 out of 20 galaxies with stable measurements are consistent with that of the targeted group within errors. This suggests that assuming group membership based solely on projected proximity is ~75% successful in this regime. The galaxies are nearly round, with a median axis ratio of 0.85, and visually resemble dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The objects have a range of sizes, from $R_e$=0.4 kpc to $R_e$=1.8 kpc, with a median of 1.0 kpc. They range in luminosity from $M_V$=-11.4 to $M_V$=-15.6, with a median of -12.4. Galaxies with $R_e$~1 kpc and $M_V$~-12 are fairly rare in the Local Group but we find many of them in this relatively small sample. Four of the objects fall in the class of ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs), with $R_e$>1.5 kpc and $μ_{0,V}$>24 mag/arcsec^2, including the recently identified dark matter deficient galaxy NGC1052-DF2.
