AI总结:

本研究利用斯巴鲁望远镜HSC深度成像发现M33的矮卫星候选体Tri IV,经测算其处于M33位力半径内,属超弥散或动力学加热星系,提示M33外围可能存在更多暗弱卫星。

摘要:

我们利用Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam(HSC,斯巴鲁望远镜/超级巡天相机)的深度成像数据,报告探测到三角座星系(M33)的一个矮卫星候选体(Triangulum IV,简称Tri IV)。根据Tri IV水平支的视星等,估算其日心距离为$932^{+49}_{-43}$ kpc,表明Tri IV距离M33中心$75^{+48}_{-40}$ kpc。由于该距离处于M33的位力半径范围内,因此Tri IV很可能是M33的卫星星系。我们还估算出其V波段表面亮度为$μ_{\text{V}} = 29.72^{+0.10}_{-0.10}$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$,半光半径为$r_h = 1749^{+523}_{-425}$ pc,这表明Tri IV是一个超弥散星系或经动力学加热的星系。Tri IV的表面亮度过低,无法在以往的巡天中被探测到,因此本次探测表明,M33的外围可能存在更多更暗弱的卫星星系。

英文摘要:

We report the detection of a dwarf satellite candidate (Triangulum IV: Tri IV) of the Triangulum galaxy (M33) using the deep imaging of Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC). From the apparent magnitude of the horizontal branch in Tri IV, the heliocentric distance of Tri IV is estimated to be $932^{+49}_{-43}$ kpc, indicating that Tri IV is located at the distance of $75^{+48}_{-40}$ kpc from the M33 center. This means that Tri IV is the probable satellite of M33, because its distance from M33 is within the virial radius of M33. We also estimate its surface brightness of $μ_{\it V} = 29.72^{+0.10}_{-0.10}$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$, and half-light radius of $r_h = 1749^{+523}_{-425}$ pc, suggesting that Tri IV is an ultra-diffuse galaxy or dynamically heated galaxy. The surface brightness of Tri IV is too low to be detected in the previous survey, so this detection suggests that much fainter satellites may be present in the outskirts of M33.
