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$%) to the total galaxy luminosity. In the case of NGC4452, we propose that its tilted disc likely originates from a former fast tidal encounter (probably with IC3381). For NGC4469, a plausible explanation may also be galaxy harassment, which resulted in a tilted or even a tumbling dark matter halo. A less likely possibility is accretion of gas-rich satellites several Gyr ago. New deep observations may potentially reveal more such galaxies with tilted outer structures, especially in clusters. We also consider galaxies, mentioned in the literature, where a central component (a bar or a bulge) is tilted with respect to the stellar disc. According to our numerical simulations, one of the plausible explanations of such observed "tilts" of the bulge/bar is a projection effect due to a not exactly edge-on orientation of the galaxy coupled with a skew angle of the triaxial bulge/bar.
Star formation in the outer regions of the early type galaxy NGC 4203
NGC 4203是一个邻近的早型星系,被一个非常大的低柱密度HI盘所包围。本文利用紫外、深空光学成像和红外观测数据研究了NGC 4203气体盘的恒星形成效率。我们确认HI盘由两个不同的组成部分:一个内部的恒星形成环,半径从$\sim$ 1到$\sim$ 3 R $_{eff}$,和一个外部盘。外环的质量是内环的9倍。在HI内环的位置,我们在深$g'-r'$图像和8 $μ$ m $Spitzer$ -IRAC图像中都检测到螺旋状结构,其半径延伸至$\sim$ 3 R $_{eff}$。这两种气体成分有不同的恒星形成效率,可能是由于不同的金属含量和尘埃含量。内部组成部分的恒星形成效率与晚型星系的内部区域非常相似。虽然外层的恒星形成效率很低,但它与螺旋星系和矮星的外层区域相似。我们认为,这些差异可以解释与不同的气体来源的两个组件,如恒星质量损失的内部HI环和吸积从星系间介质(IGM)的外部HI盘。外HI盘的低水平恒星形成效率不足以改变NGC 4203的形态,使得HI气体的耗尽时间太长。
