摘要:

我们研究了MIGHTEE-HI早期科学观测的77个HI星系的3D旋转轴(3D自旋),以及它与宇宙网细丝的关系。对于这个HI选择的样本,自旋轴和最近的灯丝($\lvert \cos ψ\rvert$)之间的对齐对于更接近灯丝的星系来说更高,与$5 < d <10$ Mpc星系的$\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.37 \pm 0.08$相比,$<5$ Mpc星系的$\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.66 \pm 0.04$与它们最近的灯丝。我们发现,具有低HI-恒星质量比($\log_{10}(M_{\rm HI}/M_{\star}) < 0.11$)的星系更倾向于与它们最近的细丝对齐,与$\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.58 \pm 0.04$ ;而具有($\log_{10}(M_{\rm HI}/M_{\star}) > 0.11$)的星系倾向于不对齐,与$\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.44 \pm 0.04$。我们发现初步的证据表明,HI选择星系的自旋轴往往与相关的灯丝($d<10$ Mpc)对齐,但这取决于气体分数。与气体质量相比,积累了更多恒星质量的星系团倾向于更强的排列。我们的研究结果表明,这些星系已积累了高气体分数相对于其恒星质量可能有他们的自旋轴对齐与灯丝中断最近的富含气体的合并,而自旋矢量为那些星系中的中性气体还没有强烈补充通过最近的合并倾向于朝向对齐与灯丝。我们还研究了在模拟中发现的$M_{\mathrm{HI}}\approx 10^{9.5} M_{\odot}$阈值处高HI含量和低HI含量星系之间的自旋跃迁,但是我们没有发现这样的跃迁的证据。

英文摘要:

We study the 3D axis of rotation (3D spin) of 77 HI galaxies from the MIGHTEE-HI Early Science observations, and its relation to the filaments of the cosmic web. For this HI-selected sample, the alignment between the spin axis and the closest filament ($\lvert \cos ψ\rvert$) is higher for galaxies closer to the filaments, with $\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.66 \pm 0.04$ for galaxies $<5$ Mpc from their closest filament compared to $\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.37 \pm 0.08$ for galaxies at $5 < d <10$ Mpc. We find that galaxies with a low HI-to-stellar mass ratio ($\log_{10}(M_{\rm HI}/M_{\star}) < 0.11$) are more aligned with their closest filaments, with $\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.58 \pm 0.04$; whilst galaxies with ($\log_{10}(M_{\rm HI}/M_{\star}) > 0.11$) tend to be mis-aligned, with $\langle\lvert \cos ψ\rvert\rangle= 0.44 \pm 0.04$. We find tentative evidence that the spin axis of HI-selected galaxies tend to be aligned with associated filaments ($d<10$ Mpc), but this depends on the gas fractions. Galaxies that have accumulated more stellar mass compared to their gas mass tend towards stronger alignment. Our results suggest that those galaxies that have accrued high gas fraction with respect to their stellar mass may have had their spin axis alignment with the filament disrupted by a recent gas-rich merger, whereas the spin vector for those galaxies in which the neutral gas has not been strongly replenished through a recent merger tend to orientate towards alignment with the filament. We also investigate the spin transition between galaxies with a high HI content and a low HI content at a threshold of $M_{\mathrm{HI}}\approx 10^{9.5} M_{\odot}$ found in simulations, however we find no evidence for such a transition with the current data.
