摘要:

高分辨率积分场单位光谱和强大的全谱拟合代码的同时进步,现在有可能检查空间分辨的运动,化学成分,和恒星形成的历史,从附近的星系。我们从合并和配对的快照光学光谱成像遗产探测(SOSIMPLE)调查中获取新的MUSE数据,以检查NGC 7135。由于气体的反向旋转,运动学的中断和不对称的化学分布,NGC 7135与正在进行的合并一致。虽然被当前的合并很好地隐藏,但我们能够区分出起源于6-10 Gyr前的合并的恒星。我们还发现了一个梯度,在非原位材料与galactocentric半径,与吸积分数从0%的星系中心上升到7%的有效半径内的0.6。

英文摘要:

The simultaneous advancement of high resolution integral field unit spectroscopy and robust full-spectral fitting codes now make it possible to examine spatially-resolved kinematic, chemical composition, and star-formation history from nearby galaxies. We take new MUSE data from the Snapshot Optical Spectroscopic Imaging of Mergers and Pairs for Legacy Exploration (SOSIMPLE) survey to examine NGC 7135. With counter-rotation of gas, disrupted kinematics and asymmetric chemical distribution, NGC 7135 is consistent with an ongoing merger. Though well hidden by the current merger, we are able to distinguish stars originating from an older merger, occurring 6-10 Gyr ago. We further find a gradient in ex-situ material with galactocentric radius, with the accreted fraction rising from 0% in the galaxy centre, to ~7% within 0.6 effective radii.
