摘要:

我们报告了在MeerKAT的2.3小时开放时间观测中偶然发现的49个富HI星系。我们展示了它们的性质,包括HI质量、强度和速度图以及光谱。我们确定至少探测到了三个富HI星系群,它们可能是一个超星系群的一部分。这些星系群的一些成员在HI发射中显示出彼此之间明确的相互作用。我们将探测结果与PanSTARRS、WISE和GALEX进行交叉匹配,并获得了恒星质量和恒星形成率。发现一个源是潜在的OH巨脉泽,但需要进一步的后续观测才能确信地确定这一点。对于6个在HI中具有足够空间分辨率的源,我们使用BBarolo生成了旋转曲线,生成了质量模型,并推导出了暗物质晕质量。虽然与其他MeerKAT观测和星系群HIMF研究相比,在这相对较短的指向中探测到的星系数量似乎处于预期的高端,但这一发现突显了MeerKAT进行其他偶然发现的能力,以及在现有和即将到来的开放时间数据集中揭示更多富HI星系的潜力。

英文摘要:

We report on the serendipitous discovery of 49 HI-rich galaxies in a 2.3 hour Open Time observation with MeerKAT. We present their properties including their HI masses, intensity and velocity maps, and spectra. We determine that at least three HI-rich galaxy groups have been detected, potentially as part of a supergroup. Some members of these galaxy groups show clear interaction with each other in their HI emission. We cross-match the detections with PanSTARRS, WISE and GALEX, and obtain stellar masses and star formation rates. One source is found to be a potential OH megamaser, but further follow-up is required to confidently determine this. For 6 sources with sufficient spatial resolution in HI we produce rotation curves with BBarolo, generate mass models, and derive a dark matter halo mass. While the number of galaxies detected in this relatively short pointing appears to be at the high end of expectations compared to other MeerKAT observations and group HIMF studies, this finding highlights the capability of MeerKAT for other serendipitous discoveries, and the potential for many more HI-rich galaxies to be revealed within both existing and upcoming Open Time datasets.
