摘要:

超漫射星系(UDG)的主要物理形成机制仍然知之甚少。在这里,我们结合新的,深成像从珍妮丰富望远镜与深积分场光谱从凯克II望远镜调查UDG 1137 +16(dw 1137 +16)的形成。我们的新分析证实了它与低密度UGC 6594群的环境关联,以及它3.3 kpc的大尺寸和UDG的地位。新的图像揭示了UDG 1137 +16的两个不同的恒星组成部分,表明中央恒星体被外部恒星包层包围,正在进行潮汐相互作用。这两个组成部分的恒星质量大致相同。从我们的积分场光谱,我们测量恒星的速度分散在半光半径(15 $\pm$ 4 $\mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$),并发现UDG 1137 +16是类似于其他一些UDG,它可能是暗物质占主导地位。除了文献测量,我们还研究了UDG观测运动学的现状。把这些数据的中央恒星速度色散-恒星质量的关系,我们认为有很少的证据UDG 1137 +16是通过一个强大的潮汐相互作用。最后,我们调查的约束力电流动力学质量估计(从恒星和球状星团速度色散)的总晕质量的UDG。由于大多数是在半光半径内测量的,因此它们无法准确地约束UDG总晕质量。

英文摘要:

The dominant physical formation mechanism(s) for ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) is still poorly understood. Here, we combine new, deep imaging from the Jeanne Rich Telescope with deep integral field spectroscopy from the Keck II telescope to investigate the formation of UDG1137+16 (dw1137+16). Our new analyses confirm both its environmental association with the low density UGC 6594 group, along with its large size of 3.3 kpc and status as a UDG. The new imaging reveals two distinct stellar components for UDG1137+16, indicating that a central stellar body is surrounded by an outer stellar envelope undergoing tidal interaction. Both the components have approximately similar stellar masses. From our integral field spectroscopy we measure a stellar velocity dispersion within the half-light radius (15 $\pm$ 4 $\mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$) and find that UDG1137+16 is similar to some other UDGs in that it is likely dark matter dominated. Incorporating literature measurements, we also examine the current state of UDG observational kinematics. Placing these data on the central stellar velocity dispersion -- stellar mass relation, we suggest there is little evidence for UDG1137+16 being created through a strong tidal interaction. Finally, we investigate the constraining power current dynamical mass estimates (from stellar and globular cluster velocity dispersions) have on the total halo mass of UDGs. As most are measured within the half-light radius, they are unable to accurately constrain UDG total halo masses.
