摘要:

合并可以作为双峰窄发射线星系被检测到,但它们很难与盘旋转和气体外流分开。我们的目标是正确地探测这样的星系,并区分潜在的机制。依靠RCSED,我们开发了一个自动选择程序,并发现了5663个双峰发射线星系在z<0.34对应的父数据库的0.8%。为了研究这些星系,我们建立了一个单峰无偏控制样本(NBCS),其红移和恒星质量分布与双峰样本(DPS)相同。这两个样本在绝对星等、[OIII]光度、颜色-颜色图、年龄和特定恒星形成率、金属丰度和环境方面确实非常相似。我们发现一个重要的过量的S 0星系的DPS,没有观察到的NBCS,这不能占的环境,因为这些星系中的大多数是孤立的或在穷人的群体。同样,我们发现一个相对赤字的纯光盘的DPS晚型星系,这是优先的Sa型。同时,我们观察到DP星系的恒星形成和灭绝的系统中心过剩。最后,在运动学上有明显的差异:气体速度色散与星系倾角相关的NBCS,而这种关系并不适用于DPS。此外,DP星系表现出更大的恒星速度色散,他们偏离Tully-Fisher关系的晚型和S 0星系。如果将两个峰视为两个不同的组分,则可以调和这些差异。考虑到有利于形态偏差,膨胀占主导地位的星系和恒星形成的中央增强,我们建议的情况下,多个连续的小合并驱动的膨胀尺寸的增加,导致更大的分数的S 0星系和赤字的纯盘星系。

英文摘要:

Mergers can be detected as double-peak narrow emission line galaxies but they are difficult to disentangle from disc rotations and gas outflows. We aim to properly detect such galaxies and distinguish the underlying mechanisms. Relying on RCSED, we developed an automated selection procedure and found 5663 double-peak emission line galaxies at z<0.34 corresponding to 0.8% of the parent database. To characterise these galaxies, we built a single-peak no-bias control sample (NBCS) with the same redshift and stellar mass distributions as the double-peak sample (DPS). These two samples are indeed very similar in terms of absolute magnitude, [OIII] luminosity, colour-colour diagrams, age and specific star formation rate, metallicity, and environment. We find an important excess of S0 galaxies in the DPS, not observed in the NBCS, and which cannot be accounted for by the environment, as most of these galaxies are isolated or in poor groups. Similarly, we find a relative deficit of pure discs in the DPS late-type galaxies, that are preferentially of Sa type. In parallel, we observe a systematic central excess of star formation and extinction for DP galaxies. Finally, there are noticeable differences in the kinematics: the gas velocity dispersion is correlated with the galaxy inclination in the NBCS, whereas this relation does not hold for the DPS. Furthermore, the DP galaxies show larger stellar velocity dispersions and they deviate from the Tully-Fisher relation for both late-type and S0 galaxies. These discrepancies can be reconciled if one considers the two peaks as two different components. Considering the morphological biases in favour, bulge-dominated galaxies and star-formation central enhancement, we suggest a scenario of multiple sequential minor mergers driving the increase of the bulge size, leading to larger fractions of S0 galaxies and a deficit of pure disc galaxies.
