摘要:

中性原子气体(HI)能有效示踪星系中到大银心半径范围内的动力学过程。然而,它在观测中心几千秒差距内的小尺度变化方面存在局限性,再加上星系中心常观测到的HI缺失现象,使得分子气体发射成为这些区域的首选示踪物。理解中性原子气体和分子气体的动力学,对于更全面地认识星系如何演化、如何将气体从外盘输送到中心区域以及最终如何形成恒星至关重要。在本研究中,我们旨在利用新的MeerKAT-HI观测数据,结合PHANGS合作项目的ALMA CO(2-1)观测数据,量化近邻旋涡星系NGC 1512、NGC 4535和NGC 7496中中性原子气体与分子气体的动力学特征。我们使用分析工具3D-Barolo对HI和CO观测数据拟合倾斜环模型。我们测试了一种组合方法:先用HI约束真实的盘取向参数,再将这些参数应用于CO数据集。本文为即将利用MeerKAT或VLA获取的PHANGS-ALMA样本中众多星系的高分辨率HI观测结果设定了预期,旨在建立一种可靠的方法,通过结合新的HI数据与现有CO数据来表征星系取向并推导动力学性质。

英文摘要:

Neutral atomic gas (HI) effectively traces galactic dynamics across mid to large galactocentric radii. However, its limitations in observing small-scale changes within the central few kiloparsecs, coupled with the often observed HI deficit in galactic centers, necessitates using molecular gas emission as a preferred tracer in these regions. Understanding the dynamics of both neutral atomic and molecular gas is crucial for a more complete understanding of how galaxies evolve, funnel gas from the outer disk into their central parts, and eventually form stars. In this work we aim to quantify the dynamics of both, the neutral atomic and molecular gas, in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 1512, NGC 4535, and NGC 7496 using new MeerKAT-HI observations together with ALMA CO (2-1) observations from the PHANGS collaboration. We use the analysis tool 3D-Barolo to fit tilted ring models to the HI and CO observations. A combined approach of using the HI to constrain the true disk orientation parameters before applying these to the CO datasets is tested. This paper sets expectations for the results of the upcoming high-resolution HI coverage of many galaxies in the PHANGS-ALMA sample using MeerKAT or VLA, to establish a robust methodology for characterizing galaxy orientations and deriving dynamics from combining new HI with existing CO data.
