摘要:

WLM是一个典型的矮不规则星系,过去8十亿年内未曾与主要的局部集团星系发生相互作用。最近研究表明,WLM由于周围星际介质(IGM)施加的随机压力而正在失去气体。在本工作中,我们探讨随机压力如何也影响WLM的气体动力学,并展示其动力学在边缘地区尤其受到扰动,解释了接近侧和远离侧的不对称旋转。此外,我们能够将WLM分解为两个主要组成部分,一个紧凑的部分具有类似于棒状结构的刚体旋转,另一个更扩展的部分具有特征性的双角形轮廓,暗示了一个面朝边缘的盘状结构。前者相对不受随机压力影响,而后者其动力学受到随机压力的显著影响。本研究显示,对于像WLM这样的矮星系的质量估计应考虑其动态组成部分的完整建模,特别是考虑到其不对称旋转曲线。

英文摘要:

WLM is an archetypal dwarf irregular galaxy that has not experienced interactions with major Local Group galaxies within the past 8 Gyr. It has recently been shown that WLM is losing its gas due to ram pressure forces exerted by the surrounding intergalactic medium (IGM). In this work, we explore how ram pressure may also affect the WLM gas kinematics, and we show that its dynamics is especially perturbed at its outskirts, explaining the asymmetric rotation between the approaching and receding sides. Moreover, we have been able to decompose WLM in two main components, a compact one with a solid-body rotation that resembles a bar-like structure, and a more extended one with a characteristic double-horn profile suggesting an edge-on disk. The former is relatively unaffected by ram pressure while the latter has its dynamics considerably affected by ram pressure. This study shows that mass estimates of a dwarf galaxy like WLM should account for a full modeling of its dynamical components, especially accounting for its asymmetric rotation curve.
