摘要:

我们继续我们的经验研究的发射线通量起源于冷($T\sim10^4$ K)的气体,填充星系晕和它们的环境。具体来说,我们目前的结果获得的样本的星系对的范围内的投影分离,{ \bf $10 < {S_p/\rm kpc} < 200$ },和质量比$<$ 1:5,5,443 SDSS视线在投影半径为10至50千秒差距从一个或两个星系。我们发现显着增强H $α$发射和适度增强[N { \small II}]6583发射低质量对(每个星系的平均恒星质量,$\overline{\rm M}_*, <10^{10.4} {\rm M}_\odot$)相对于控制样品的结果。这种增强的H $α$发射几乎完全来自星系之间的视线,与增强的短期相互作用驱动的起源一致。我们发现H $α$发射没有增强,但是对于高质量($\overline{\rm M}_* >10^{10.4}{\rm M}_\odot$)对,[N { \small II}]6583发射显著增强。此外,我们发现的发射线的性质对星系对的质量比的依赖,使那些与质量比低于1:2.5增强[N { \small II}]6583和那些与质量比之间的1:2.5和1:5没有。在所有情况下,仅检测到接近对($S_p <$ 100 kpc)与对照样品的偏离。归因于一个升高的[N { \small II}]6583/H $α$比冲击,我们推断,冲击中发挥的作用,在确定的CGM属性的密切对之间的更大的质量和质量比接近1:1。

英文摘要:

We continue our empirical study of the emission line flux originating in the cool ($T\sim10^4$ K) gas that populates the halos of galaxies and their environments. Specifically, we present results obtained for a sample of galaxy pairs with a range of projected separations, {\bf $10 < {S_p/\rm kpc} < 200$}, and mass ratios $<$ 1:5, intersected by 5,443 SDSS lines of sight at projected radii of 10 to 50 kpc from either or both of the two galaxies. We find significant enhancement in H$α$ emission and a moderate enhancement in [N {\small II}]6583 emission for low mass pairs (mean stellar mass per galaxy, $\overline{\rm M}_*, <10^{10.4} {\rm M}_\odot$) relative to the results from a control sample. This enhanced H$α$ emission comes almost entirely from sight lines located between the galaxies, consistent with a short-term, interaction-driven origin for the enhancement. We find no enhancement in H$α$ emission, but significant enhancement in [N {\small II}]6583 emission for high mass ($\overline{\rm M}_* >10^{10.4}{\rm M}_\odot$) pairs. Furthermore, we find a dependence of the emission line properties on the galaxy pair mass ratio such that those with a mass ratio below 1:2.5 have enhanced [N {\small II}]6583 and those with a mass ratio between 1:2.5 and 1:5 do not. In all cases, departures from the control sample are only detected for close pairs ($S_p <$ 100 kpc). Attributing an elevated [N {\small II}]6583/H$α$ ratio to shocks, we infer that shocks play a role in determining the CGM properties for close pairs that are among the more massive and have mass ratios closer to 1:1.
