摘要:

我们展示了一张用0.14米口径望远镜拍摄的附近螺旋星系M 63(NGC 5055)的深度(曝光50小时)图像。星系晕展示了已知的非常微弱的恒星流系统,延伸到110千秒差距。我们在M63周围发现了5个表面亮度很低的矮星系。假设它们是M 63的卫星,它们的中值参数是:绝对$B$ -星等-8.8等,线直径1.3千秒差距,表面亮度$\sim$ 27.8等/平方。角秒和线性投影间隔93千秒差距。根据四颗较亮的卫星的径向速度测量结果,我们得出M 63的低轨道质量估计值为(5.1 $\pm$ 1.8)10 $^{11} M_{\odot}$,尺度为$\sim$ 216 kpc。M63的特点是自转曲线下降.考虑到M 63和附近三个大质量星系NGC 2683、NGC 2903、NGC 3521的自转曲线呈下降趋势,我们认为它们的平均轨道质量与K波段光度比很低,为(4.8 $\pm$ 1.1)$M_{\odot}/L_{\odot}$,仅为银河系和M 31的相应比值的$\sim$ 1/6。

英文摘要:

We present a deep (50 hours exposed) image of the nearby spiral galaxy M 63 (NGC 5055), taken with a 0.14-m aperture telescope. The galaxy halo exhibits the known very faint system of stellar streams extending across 110 kpc. We found 5 very low-surface-brightness dwarf galaxies around M 63. Assuming they are satellites of M 63, their median parameters are: absolute $B$-magnitude -8.8 mag, linear diameter 1.3 kpc, surface brightness $\sim$ 27.8 mag/sq. arcsec and linear projected separation 93 kpc. Based on four brighter satellites with measured radial velocities, we derived a low orbital mass estimate of M 63 to be (5.1$\pm$1.8) 10$^{11} M_{\odot}$ on a scale of $\sim$216 kpc. The specific property of M 63 is its declining rotation curve. Taking into account the declining rotation curves of the M 63 and three nearby massive galaxies NGC 2683, NGC 2903, NGC 3521, we recognize their low mean orbital mass-to-K-band luminosity ratio, (4.8$\pm$1.1) $M_{\odot}/L_{\odot}$, that is only $\sim$1/6 of the corresponding ratio for the Milky Way and M 31.
