摘要:

马林1是已知最大的低表面亮度(LSB)星系,也就是所谓的巨型LSB的原型。对于这些星系的结构和起源仍然知之甚少,特别是由于缺乏高分辨率的运动学和光谱数据。我们使用的光谱观测的Malin 1的发射线,旨在带来新的约束的内部动力学和恒星形成历史的Malin 1。我们从Malin 1的不同区域提取了16个光谱,并从观测到的H $α$发射线通量的波长偏移和恒星形成率计算了这些区域的旋转速度。我们将我们的数据与Malin 1的现有数据和模型进行比较。我们首次给出了Malin 1的内部自转曲线,其特征是在径向范围r < 10 kpc内,自转速度急剧上升,至少达到350 km/s(色散很大),这在以前是没有观察到的。我们使用这些数据来研究一套新的质量模型马林1。我们表明,在内部区域的动力学可能是由恒星(虽然我们的模型都不能解释测量的最高速度),但在大半径的大质量暗物质晕仍然是必要的。的H $α$通量导出的恒星形成率是一致的早期型磁盘的内部区域,并与扩展的紫外线星系中发现的水平的巨大磁盘的外部部分的马林1。我们还发现了高金属含量的迹象,但内部地区的灰尘含量低。

英文摘要:

Malin 1 is the largest known low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy, the archetype of so-called giant LSBs. The structure and the origin of such galaxies are still poorly understood, especially due to the lack of high-resolution kinematics and spectroscopic data. We use emission lines from spectroscopic observations of Malin 1 aiming to bring new constraints on the internal dynamics and star formation history of Malin 1. We have extracted a total of 16 spectra from different regions of Malin 1 and calculated the rotational velocities of these regions from the wavelength shifts and star formation rates from the observed H$α$ emission line fluxes. We compare our data with existing data and models for Malin 1. For the first time we present the inner rotation curve of Malin 1, characterized in the radial range r < 10 kpc by a steep rise in the rotational velocity up to at least 350 km/s (with a large dispersion), which had not been observed previously. We use these data to study a suite of new mass models for Malin 1. We show that in the inner regions dynamics may be dominated by the stars (although none of our models can explain the highest velocities measured) but that at large radii a massive dark matter halo remains necessary. The H$α$ fluxes derived star formation rates are consistent with an early-type disk for the inner region, and with the level found in extended UV galaxies for the outer parts of the giant disk of Malin 1. We also find signs of high metallicity but low dust content for the inner regions.
