摘要:

我们报告了用绿岸望远镜对NGC 1052-DF 2进行的深单碟21厘米观测。NGC 1052-DF 2被认为缺乏暗物质,目前被归类为NGC 1052星系群中的一个超弥散星系。我们没有探测到这个星系,并推导出HI质量的上限。该星系是极端的气体贫乏,我们发现,$3σ\, M_{HI}$检测在19 Mpc的距离,并使用3.2公里$\rm s^{-1}$的线宽将有一个上限为$M_{HI,lim} < 5.5 \times 10^5$ M $_{\odot}$。在这个质量极限下,中性气体质量与恒星质量的比例非常低,为$M_{HI}$ /M $_{*}$ $\, < \, 0.0027$。这种极低的气体比例,与银河系矮椭球体和贫气体矮椭圆星系相当,意味着该星系要么在NGC 1052的维里半径内,由于靠近中央星系,其气体已经被剥离,要么NGC 1052-DF 2距离足够大,无法检测到其气体。我们还估算了NGC 1052-DF 2的HI质量上限为13 Mpc。这将得到HI质量为$M_{HI,lim} < 2.5 \times 10^5$ M $_{\odot}$,HI气体分数为$M_{HI}$ /M $_{*}$ r $\, < \, 0.0012$,变得更加极端。虽然在这个距离上暗物质的比例不会那么极端,但中性气体的比例对于低密度环境中的物体来说是前所未有的。

英文摘要:

We report deep, single-dish 21 cm observations of NGC 1052-DF2, taken with the Green Bank Telescope. NGC 1052-DF2, proposed to be lacking in dark matter, is currently classified as an ultra-diffuse galaxy in the NGC 1052 group. We do not detect the galaxy, and derive an upper limit on the HI, mass. The galaxy is extremely gas-poor, and we find that a $3σ\, M_{HI}$ detection at a distance of 19 Mpc and using a line width of 3.2 km $\rm s^{-1}$ would have an upper limit of $M_{HI,lim} < 5.5 \times 10^5$ M$_{\odot}$. At this mass limit, the gas fraction of neutral gas mass to stellar mass is extremely low, at $M_{HI}$/M$_{*}$ $\, < \, 0.0027$. This extremely low gas fraction, comparable to Galactic dwarf spheroidals and gas-poor dwarf ellipticals, implies that either the galaxy is within the virial radius of NGC1052, where its gas has been stripped due to its proximity to the central galaxy, or that NGC 1052-DF2 is at distance large enough to inhibit detection of its gas. We also estimated the upper limit of the HI mass of NGC 1052-DF2 resided at 13 Mpc. This would give an HI mass of $M_{HI,lim} < 2.5 \times 10^5$ M$_{\odot}$, and an HI gas fraction of $M_{HI}$/M$_{*}$r $\, < \, 0.0012$, becoming even more extreme. While the dark matter fraction would be less extreme at this distance, the neutral gas fraction would be unprecedented for an object in a low density environment.
