摘要:

倾斜和扭曲光盘内倾斜的暗物质晕预测从数值和半解析研究。在本文中,我们使用深度成像来证明在真实星系中可能存在倾斜的外部结构。我们考虑两个SB 0的边缘上的星系,NGC 4469和NGC 4452,这表现出明显的倾斜外盘相对于内部结构。在NGC 4469中,该结构具有盒状形状,相对于内部盘倾斜$Δ$ PA $\approx$ 3 $^{\circ}$,而NGC 4452具有盘状外部结构,$Δ$ PA $\approx$ 6 $^{\circ}$。尽管形状不同,这两种结构的表面亮度曲线接近指数,并作出很大的贡献($\sim30$ %)的总星系光度。在NGC 4452的情况下,我们建议,它的倾斜盘可能源于以前的快速潮汐遇到(可能与IC 3381)。对于NGC 4469,一个合理的解释也可能是星系的骚扰,这导致了倾斜甚至翻滚的暗物质晕。一个不太可能的可能性是几个Gyr前富含气体的卫星的吸积。新的深层观测可能会揭示更多这样的星系,特别是在星系团中具有倾斜的外部结构。我们还考虑了文献中提到的星系,其中一个中心组件(一个酒吧或凸起)相对于恒星盘倾斜。根据我们的数值模拟,这种观察到的“倾斜”的凸起/酒吧的一个合理的解释是投影效应,由于不完全边缘上的取向的星系加上倾斜角的三轴凸起/酒吧。

英文摘要:

Tilted and warped discs inside tilted dark matter haloes are predicted from numerical and semi-analytical studies. In this paper, we use deep imaging to demonstrate the likely existence of tilted outer structures in real galaxies. We consider two SB0 edge-on galaxies, NGC4469 and NGC4452, which exhibit apparent tilted outer discs with respect to the inner structure. In NGC4469, this structure has a boxy shape, inclined by $Δ$PA$\approx$3$^{\circ}$ with respect to the inner disc, whereas NGC4452 harbours a discy outer structure with $Δ$PA$\approx$6$^{\circ}$. In spite of the different shapes, both structures have surface brightness profiles close to exponential and make a large contribution ($\sim30$%) to the total galaxy luminosity. In the case of NGC4452, we propose that its tilted disc likely originates from a former fast tidal encounter (probably with IC3381). For NGC4469, a plausible explanation may also be galaxy harassment, which resulted in a tilted or even a tumbling dark matter halo. A less likely possibility is accretion of gas-rich satellites several Gyr ago. New deep observations may potentially reveal more such galaxies with tilted outer structures, especially in clusters. We also consider galaxies, mentioned in the literature, where a central component (a bar or a bulge) is tilted with respect to the stellar disc. According to our numerical simulations, one of the plausible explanations of such observed "tilts" of the bulge/bar is a projection effect due to a not exactly edge-on orientation of the galaxy coupled with a skew angle of the triaxial bulge/bar.
