The rotation velocity of a simulated plasma galaxy is compared to the rotation curves of Sc type spiral galaxies. Both show flat rotation curves with velocities of the order of several hundred kilometers per second, modified by E × B instabilities. Maps of the strength and distribution of galactic magnetic fields and neutral hydrogen regions, as-well-as as predictions by particle-in-cell simulations run in the late 1970s, are compared to Effelsberg observations.Agreement between simulation and observation is best when the simulation galaxy masses are identical to the observational masses of spiral galaxies. No dark matter is needed.  相似文献

The goal of this paper is to account for the complete observed rotation curves of disk galaxies without dark matter. To attain that goal, use is made of a conservation law from stability theory of linear waves, leading to a vector-based theory of gravitation. In the theory, galactic centers are sites of strong gravitational fields. The new theory predicts extra matter at the center of disk galaxies, which is well-known to be consistent with intergalactic dynamics. For given disk radiusr 0 and edge tangential speedv, the greater the deviation of a rotation curve from linear (solid disk rotation), the greater the mass of the galaxy as a multiple of Newtonian massr 0v2/G, up to a factor of about 1000. In an approximate calculation it turns out that disk density (r) (in kg m–2) is proportional to 1/r for typical rotation curves. Rotation is characterized by two constants which in turn are determined by the edge speed and mass distribution. Not just any curve shape can be so obtained; in fact, the theoretically possible curves correspond to observed curves.  相似文献

The autocorrelation function of Faraday rotation measures is discussed in terms of different types of galactic field configurations. The autocorrelation function evaluated from published data of 139 radio galaxies and quasars is found to resemble a form typical for a quasi-longitudinal field, whereas the autocorrelation function of 38 pulsars turns out to be of the form expected for a longitudinal field. These observations are interpreted with respect to the position of the solar system relative to the neutral sheet in a quasi-longitudinal field configuration.Rotation measures calculated theoretically using a mathematical formulation of the quasi-longitudinal field model are adapted to experimental data. The resulting polarity of the global field structure is discussed in connection with the original dipole-like configuration the magnetic momentum vector of which is found to have been antiparallel to the angular momentum vector of the Galaxy. The relation between the field strength and the density of electrons is found to be consistent with earlier results.  相似文献

A new theory for galactic arm formation shows the arms to be continually eminating from the galactic nucleus due to a continual influx of cosmic dust. In the neighborhood of the nucleus the problem is treated as a fluid flow and a simple solution is given using conservation of momentum. When rotational dynamics are included the spinning arm system is the result. This solution resolves the problem of the missing mass, accounts for warped disk galaxies and gives a probable source for the gravity waves measured by Weber which eminate from our galactic center. Reversal of arm direction is demonstrated and examples of such reversals are cited. An approximate theoretical estimate of the age of our Sun is found to be in good agreement with radio isotope dating. A general result shows why twin star systems are in such great abundance in a galaxy. It gives a model of galactic evolution which begins with only a single massive nucleus with the collapsing gas clouds forming the arms.  相似文献

A model for the formation of superdense gaseous cores by accretion in the nuclei of disk galaxies has been proposed. Equations for radial flow of gas into the nucleus in the presence of aweak galactic magnetic field have been solved, and time scales for the accretion of an exploding mass in the nucleus (109 M ) have been obtained under several different situations in the absence of any rotation. The time scales are found to lie in the range between a few times 107 yr and 108 yr. Such time scales have been proposed by some authors for repeated explosions in the nuclei of galaxies; they have also proposed that spiral arms in disk galaxies are repeatedly formed and destroyed over such time scales. It is shown that the presence of rotational velocities in the infalling gas practically destroys the efficiency of the accretion process unless such velocities are dissipated by frictional forces within the system. Viscosity of gas is the most obvious dissipative agent. The problem of accretion of a rotating viscous gas will be discussed in a subsequent paper.  相似文献

A re-interpretation is offered for both the galactic center lobe and the high-velocity clouds in the galactic halo: the galactic center lobe is a 2-sided chimney for relativistic pair plasma emerging from the center of the Milky Way (=Sag A*) and streaming as 2 jets through the halo. The channel walls of the flow serve as cold traps for the galactic fountain whenceHi clouds rain back into the disk.  相似文献

The evidence is reviewed for a universal magnetic field of strength 10–9–10–8G; it has been extended to include the diffuse fields of galactic clusters and the extensive magnetic halos of spiral galaxies. Some likely effects of the universal fieldB 0 are as follows: (1) As suggested previously,B 0 is coupled to protogalaxies and evolves into magnetic structures which depend on the angle between the field and the gas rotational axis. These provide the blueprints for the various types of the Hubble sequence, (ii) The relatively few grand-design spiral galaxies result from tidal interactioon (M51-type), but normal spirals form as a result of the spiral oblique field) magnetic blueprint acting on sheared gravitational instabilities (Goldreich and Lynden-Bell). (iii) The model explains the prevalent warped galactic disks and perhaps their flat H1 rotation curves. (iv) A variety of puzzling H1 concentrations may have hydromagnetic explanations; they include the high-velocity clouds, streamers, rings and central systems. (v) Clusters of galaxies are known to have diffuse magnetic fields, and these are likely to explain the absence of spiral galaxies and the nature of the intracluster gas. (vi) Spiral galaxies are now known to have extensive magnetic halos. These appear explicable only in terms of the universal magnetic field model.  相似文献

Observed supernovae rates in Sb and Sc galaxies, and a recent re-examination of the mean gas density in these galactic types, implies that if the clumpiness of gas in the disks of Sb and Sc galaxies is similar, the gas density isnot the primary factor in determining the overall present stellar birthrate.  相似文献

Rotation curves of spiral galaxies in clusters are compared with their counterparts in the field using three criteria: (1) inner and outer velocity gradients, (2)M/L gradients, and (3) Burstein's mass type methodology. Both H emission-line rotation curves and more extendedHi rotation curves are used. A good correlation is found between the outer gradient of the rotation curve and the galaxy's distance from the centre of the cluster, in the sense that the inner galaxies tend to have falling rotation curves while the outer galaxies, and field galaxies, tend to have flat or rising rotation curves. A correlation is also found between theM/L gradient across a galaxy and the galaxy's position in the cluster, with the outer galaxies having steeperM/L gradients. Mass types for field spirals are shown to be a function of both Hubble-type and luminosity, contrary to earlier results. The statistical difference between the distribution of mass types in clusters and in the field reported by Bursteinet al. is confirmed. These correlations indicate that the inner cluster environment can strip away some fraction of the mass in the outer halo of a spiral galaxy, or alternatively, may not allow the halo to form.  相似文献

Some new results on optical polarization in galaxies are reported. These results as well as some other available data indicate the presence of large-scale magnetic fields in galaxies. Spiral galaxies seen nearly edge-on show polarization of light in the dark band across the center, indicating that the large-scale magnetic fields in these galaxies are mainly parallel to the symmetry plane of each galaxy, as has also been observed in the Milky Way. In more tilted galaxies, where the spiral structure can be seen more clearly, the observed polarization effects indicate large-scale magnetic fields along the arms. Observed polarization effects also indicate the presence of ordered magnetic fields in some peculiar galaxies. In NGC 2685 the fields seem to be parallel to the helical or arc-like filaments. In NGC 3718 the dark band which might be a dust-bar through the nucleus shows strong optical polarization in the direction of the band, indicating a large-scale magnetic field in the same direction.Paper dedicated to Professor Hannes Alfvén on the occasion of his 70th birthday, 30 May, 1978.  相似文献

Star-like objects are found in Seyfert galaxies Markarian 290, Markarian 298, NGC 1275, and NGC 7469, being connected with the structure peculiarities of the galaxies. The absolute magnitudes of these objects are –16 m M–19 m . It has been supposed that these star formations must stimulate the instability in the disk of the galaxy followed by the matter fall toward the centre of the galaxy. The gas inflow toward the centre will allow the recent star formations and Seyfert nuclei generation.Paper presented at the 11th European Regional Astronomical Meetings of the IAU on New Windows to the Universe, held 3–8 July, 1989, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.  相似文献

In this paper, it is pointed out that if the spiral galaxy revolves about some common centre as a whole, the rotation curve will be changed by the kinematic effects. The common centre could be the centre of supercluster or the centre of dark matter and luminous matter.The kinematic effects on rotation curve are calculated. The additional velocity caused by revolving about the common centre is obtained. In case the direction of revolution is opposite (or consistent) to the direction of rotation, then in the outer region of nucleus, a flat rotation curve could be changed to a constant negative (or postive) gradient. The 44 rotation curves of Sb and Sc galaxies are expressed by means of linear least-squares fit, from which the period of revolving and the ratio of tidal force to self-gravitating force are calculated for every galaxy in extreme cases. The periods for most galaxies are in the reasonable region about 109 years. The tidal force is always less than gravitating force, so the system could be maintained in such a revolving cases. At last, rotation curves in all directions of disk are suggested to pick out the kinematic effects from pure rotation.Work supported by the National Science Foundation of China, under Grant No. 1860610.  相似文献

The main constituents of the dust, produced around late-type carbon stars, are thought to be carbon and silicon carbide (SiC), although their exact nature is not yet well established. This subject has been addressed by several authors and good fits of a large number of IRAS sources (chosen among the carbon stars exhibiting the SiC feature at about 11.3 m) were obtained. In this work we use the same procedure on a limited number of objects, of the same type, taking into account the variability of such sources and the changes induced in their IR spectra. For this purpose, the chosen stars have been observed with a spectral resolution higher than that available for the IRAS data (/ 50), using the CGS3 instrument of the UKIRT telescope, both in the low ( / 160) and in the high ( / 500) resolution configuration. The results are discussed and some preliminary conclusions are drawn.  相似文献

A maximal spectrum of gravitational radiation from sources outside our galaxy is calculated. The sources are galaxies, quasars and events that occur in the early history of the universe. The major contribution is from galaxies whose effect extends over the frequency region 10–810+4Hz, peaking at 10–110 Hz, with a spectral flux of 10 erg cm–2, s–1. The main processes of gravitational radiation in the galaxies are stellar collapse into a black hole and dying binary systems. In the region 10–4104 Hz the background spectrum is well above the detection levels of currently proposed detectors. FromMinimal considerations of this spectrum it is determined that the density of gravitational radiation is 10–39g cm–3. This background spectrum is sensitive to galactic evolution and especially sensitive to the upper mass limits and mass distribution of stars in galactic models. Therefore, the spectrum could provide information about galactic evolution complementary to that obtained by electromagnetic investigations.  相似文献

A model of galaxy with an active nucleus is investigated; The cloud in the galactic disc accretes on the core. The core temperature and hence the core luminosity becomes high because of the kinetic energy release by the accreting gas cloud. Then the gas and dust in the core is ejected outward by the radiation pressure from resonance line scattering, forms a sort of halo around the core and subsequently falls on the galactic plane. The gas and dust subsisted from star formation accretes again on the nucleus to provoke another explosion. So these processes are cyclic throughout the life of the galaxy.According to this model, the period of explosion depends only on the temperatureT of the system in such a manner as(y)=2.7×106 T 1/2. This relation can well explain the observed time scales for galactic explosions. On the other hand, the time dependence of heavy elements abundance, of the redshift of distant galaxy and of galactic luminosity is investigated. The redshift dependence of galactic distribution is also examined. It has become clear that this model can lead the inconsistent results with observational facts. The other problems concerning with galaxies or metagalaxies should be treated along this line.  相似文献

Highly ionized gas has been detected at large distances from the nucleus in several classes of active galaxies. There is evidence that photoionization by the active nucleus may be the most relevant mechanism for the observed ionization. The spatial distribution of such gas has a conical shape, whose vertex points towards the nucleus and the axis is closely oriented with the radio structure. This scenario suggests collimation or anisotropy of the ionizing continuum.A geometrically thick accretion disk may produce such ionizing spectrum. We use a simple model for a thick accretion disk around a supermassive black hole and a photoionization code to make theoretical predictions. Results are compared with the observational data (for radio and Seyfert galaxies).Paper presented at the 11th European Regional Astronomical Meetings of the IAU on New Windows to the Universe, held 3–8 July, 1989, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.  相似文献

Using the recent observational data on atomic and molecular hydrogen in the Galaxy, we analyse the dynamics of the interstellar gas in a spiral density wave. Within the framework of Marochniket al.'s (1972) model of the galactic spiral structure, the gas flow is obtained, with self-gravitation and thermal processes taken into account.It is shown that: (1) the self-gravitation of gas does not practically affect the galactic shock if the dominant contribution into the gas density comes from atomic hydrogen; (2) the effects of self-gravitation could be essential for both the gas flow and the stellar spiral wave only if the density contribution of H2 exceeded several times that ofHi, with molecular hydrogen as a continuous medium having the isothermal equation of state; (3) however, regardless of the estimates of H2 abundance in the Galaxy, its reaction to the density wave is weak, since it forms a collisionless system not dragged by the intercloud gas.It has been found that, if we allow for thermal processes in the interstellar medium, new types of gas flow can develop alongside with a previously-known continuous flow and galactic shock. They are: (1) galactic shock with the phase transition leading to the formation of dense cold clouds; (2) a three-phase flow where hot cavities and dense cold clouds coexist with an initial, moderately dense and cold phase; (3) an accretion wave which is a specific type of nonlinear wave with an amplitude of 11/2 orders of magnitude larger than that of the isothermal galactic shock appearing under the same conditions, but without heating and cooling.  相似文献

A new type of galactic outflow phenomenon has been discovered and published under the name of thermal spur by Mülleret al. (1987). It is argued that this outflow consists of relativistic pair plasma with an admixture of partially ionized hydrogen and cosmic rays, escaping from a large Hii region. This chimney serves as a substantial leak for the cosmic rays, i.e., may be an essential part of the galactic foundtain.  相似文献

A method to fit flat rotation curves is presented, wherein the galactic density for a disk model is expressed in terms of a Dirichlet polynomial. This procedure allows us to obtain the total galactic mass and to predict the circular velocity at large galactocentric distances.Application of the method to the Galaxy, M31 and four Sc galaxies shows that a significant galactic mass is located beyond the optical radius although it is considerably smaller than the integral mass values obtained from current models with a massive corona included. Observed rotation curves and convergent total mass are obtained, thus the total mass for the Milky Way Galaxy is 5.69×1011 M .  相似文献

It is shown that the brightness of the spiral galactic nuclei at 10 depends on the Byurakan type of galaxies: the brightness is higher in the case of galaxies of types 5, 2s, 4, and 2 with optical signs of activity in comparison with galaxies of types 3 and 1 without optical signs of activity. The noted difference is larger when nonstellar emission at 10 is considered. The obtained results confirm conclusions made earlier on the activity of the nuclei of galaxies of types 5, 2s, 4, and 2.  相似文献
