摘要:

本文介绍了用罗伯特C.伯德绿岸望远镜(GBT)的70个光学检测UDG候选人在后发座地区的系统测量超扩散星系巡天(SMUDG)。我们在18个目标中检测到HI,确认9个是富含气体的UDG,其余的是前景矮星。我们的HI检测到的UDG中没有一个是昏迷星团成员,除了一个之外,其他都在低密度环境中。HI检测到的UDG比HI中未检测到的更红、更平滑的候选者更蓝,并且具有更不规则的形态,其中光学颜色和形态的组合比单独的任一参数更好地预测气体丰富度。在SMUDGes成像中,富含气体的UDG和前景矮星之间几乎没有视觉差异,需要距离来区分它们。我们发现,我们的HI确认的UDG和其他样品的气体丰度与它们的有效半径在两个恒星质量箱的规模,可能提供线索,他们的形成。我们试图把我们的UDG的重子塔利-费舍尔关系(BTFR)使用光学椭圆率和折射率校正HI线宽估计旋转速度,但潜在的系统学与拟合光滑的$\mathrm{S\acute{e}rsic}$配置文件cloudly,低倾角低表面亮度磁盘排除了潜在的BTFR偏移的有意义的分析。这些观测是GBT正在进行的一项大型活动的试点,该活动利用富含气体的UDG的HI特性来定量限制这些星系的形成和演化。

英文摘要:

We present neutral hydrogen (HI) observations using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) of 70 optically-detected UDG candidates in the Coma region from the Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies survey (SMUDGes). We detect HI in 18 targets, confirming 9 to be gas-rich UDGs and the remainder to be foreground dwarfs. None of our HI-detected UDGs are Coma Cluster members and all but one are in low-density environments. The HI-detected UDGs are bluer and have more irregular morphologies than the redder, smoother candidates not detected in HI, with the combination of optical color and morphology being a better predictor of gas richness than either parameter alone. There is little visual difference between the gas-rich UDGs and the foreground dwarfs in the SMUDGes imaging, and distances are needed to distinguish between them. We find that the gas richnesses of our HI-confirmed UDGs and those from other samples scale with their effective radii in two stellar mass bins, possibly providing clues to their formation. We attempt to place our UDGs on the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) using optical ellipticities and turbulence-corrected HI linewidths to estimate rotation velocities, but the potential systematics associated with fitting smooth $\mathrm{S\acute{e}rsic}$ profiles to clumpy, low-inclination low surface brightness disks precludes a meaningful analysis of potential BTFR offsets. These observations are a pilot for a large campaign now underway at the GBT to use the HI properties of gas-rich UDGs to quantitatively constrain how these galaxies form and evolve.
