The Tully–Fisher relationship (TFR) has been shown to have a relatively small observed scatter of ∼±0.35 mag implying an intrinsic
scatter < ±0.30 mag. However, when the TFR is calibrated from distances derived from the Hubble relation for field galaxies
scatter is consistently found to be ±0.64 to ±0.84 mag. This significantly larger scatter requires that intrinsic TFR scatter
is actually much larger than ±0.30 mag, that field galaxies have an intrinsic TFR scatter much larger than cluster spirals,
or that field galaxies have a velocity dispersion relative to the Hubble flow in excess of 1000 km s−1. Each of these potential explanations faces difficulties and contradicted by available data and the results of previous studies.
An alternative explanation is that the measured redshifts of galaxies are composed of a cosmological redshift component predicted
from the value of the Hubble constant and a superimposed intrinsic redshift component previously identified in other studies.
This intrinsic redshift component may exceed 5000 km s−1 in individual galaxies. In this alternative scenario a possible value for the Hubble constant is 55–60 km s−1 Mpc−1. 相似文献

It is more appropriate to study the dynamics and evolution of compact groups using a sample of isolated compact groups in
the nearby vicinity of which there are no accordant redshift galaxies. To look for isolated compact groups we inspected the
environment of 78 Shakhbazian compact groups, with known redshifts. We found that 26 of nearby groups with V < 40000 km s−1 are isolated compact groups in the vicinity of which up to a projected distance of 1 Mpc there are no accordant redshift
galaxies. For four of them, the redshift of only two members are known, so their being groups is not certain. In the vicinities
of eleven distant groups (V > 40000 km s−1) no accordant redshift galaxies are detected as well. The reason for this may be the faintness of galaxies there. These groups
may possibly be isolated. 相似文献

Galaxies of redshiftz ≲ 1000 km s−1 are investigated. In the South Galactic Hemisphere there are two large concentrations of these galaxies. One is in the direction
of the centre of the Local Group, roughly aligned with M 31 and M 33. The other concentration is centred almost 80 degrees
away on the sky and involves the next nearest galaxies to the Local Group, NGC 55, NGC 300 and NGC 253.
The large scale and isolation of these concentrations, and the continuity of their redshifts require that they are all galaxies
at the same, relatively close distance of the brightest group members. The fainter members of the group have higher redshifts,
mimicking to some extent a Hubble relation. But if they are all at the same average distance the higher redshifts must be
due to a cause other than velocity.
The redshifts of the galaxies in the central areas of these groups all obey a quantization interval of δcz0 = 72.4 kms−1. This is the same quantization found by William Tifft, and later by others, in all physical groups and pairs which have been
tested. The quantization discovered here, however, extends over a larger interval in redshift than heretofore encountered.
The majority of redshifts used in the present analysis are accurate to ± 8 km s−1. The deviation of those redshifts from multiples of 72.4 km s-1 averages ±8.2 km s−1. The astonishing result, however, is that for those redshifts which are known more accurately, the deviation from modulo
72.4 drops to a value between 3 and 4 km s−1! The amount of relative velocity allowed these galaxies is therefore implied to be less than this extremely small value. 相似文献

Evidence is presented for redshift quantization and variability as detected in global studies done in the rest frame of the cosmic background radiation. Quantization is strong and consistent with predictions derived from concepts associated with multidimensional time. Nine families of periods are possible but not equally likely. The most basic family contains previously known periods of 73 and 36 km s–1 and shorter harmonics at 18.3 and 9.15 km s–1. Several approaches to evaluating the significance of quantization are employed and the dependence on redshift, the width and shape of 21 cm profiles and morphology is discussed. Common properties between samples define several basic classes of galaxies. Quantization is consistently optimized for a transformation vertex very close to the vertex of the cosmic background dipole. Relationships between cosmocentric and galactocentric rest frames are discussed. 相似文献

We have studied the pitch angles of spiral arms for 31 distant galaxies at z ∼ 0.7 from three Hubble Deep Fields (HDF-N, HDF-S, HUDF). Using the pitch angle-rotation velocity relation calibrated from
nearby galaxies, we have estimated the rotation velocities of galaxies from the deep fields. These estimates have a low accuracy
(∼50 km s−1), but they allow low-mass and giant galaxies to be distinguished. The Tully-Fisher relation constructed using our velocity
estimates shows satisfactory agreement with the actually observed relations for distant galaxies and provides evidence for
the luminosity evolution of spiral galaxies. 相似文献

Stellar abundance pattern of n-capture elements such as barium is used as a powerful tool to infer how the star formation proceeded in dwarf spheroidal
(dSph) galaxies. It is found that the abundance correlation of barium with iron in stars belonging to dSph galaxies orbiting
the Milky Way, i.e., Draco, Sextans, and Ursa Minor have a feature similar to that in Galactic metal-poor stars. The common
feature of these two correlations can be realized by our in homogeneous chemical evolution model based on the supernova-driven
star formation scenario if dSph stars formed from gas with a velocity dispersion of ∼ 26 km s-1. This velocity dispersion together with the stellar luminosities strongly suggest that dark matter dominated dSph galaxies.
The tidal force of the Milky Way links this velocity dispersion with the currently observed value ≲ 10 km s-1 by stripping the dark matter in dSph galaxies. As a result, the total mass of each dSph galaxy is found to have been originally
∼ 25 times larger than at present. In this model, supernovae immediately after the end of the star formation can expel the
remaining gas over the gravitational potential of the dSph galaxy.

We present kinematics and photometric evidence for the presence of seven candidate tidal dwarf galaxies in Stephan's Quintet.
The central regions of the two most probable parent galaxies, NGC 7319 and NGC 7318B, contain little or no gas whereas the
intragroup medium and, in particular, the optical tails that seem to be associated with NGC 7318B are rich in cold and ionized
gas. Two tidal dwarf candidates may be located at the edge of a tidal tail, another located within a tail, and for the four
others there is no obvious stellar/gaseous bridge between them and the parent galaxy. Two of the candidates are associated
with H I clouds, one of which is, in addition, associated with a CO cloud. All seven regions have low continuum fluxes and
high Hα luminosity densities [F(Hα) = (1-60) × 10-14 ergs s-1 cm-2]. Their magnitudes (MB = –16.1 to –12.6), sizes (∼ 3.5 h75
-1 kpc), colors (typically B – R = 0.7), and gas velocity gradients (∼ 8 –26 h75 km s-1 kpc-1) are typical for tidal dwarf galaxies. In addition, the ratios between their star formation rates determined from Hα and
from the B-band luminosity are typical of other tidal dwarf galaxies. The masses of the tidal dwarf galaxies in Stephan's
Quintet range from ∼ 2 × 108 to 1010 M⊙, and the median value for their inferred mass-to-light ratios is 7 (M/L)⊙. At least two of the systems may survive possible ‘fallbacks’ or disruption by the parent galaxies and may already be, or
turn into, self-gravitating dwarf galaxies, new members of the group.

The molecular gas mass in nearby galaxies is generally estimated using 12CO(1-0) line intensities and assuming the X conversion factor between I(CO) and N(H2) measured in the solar neighborhood. It is however known that this X conversion factor is not universal since it changes with metallicity, cosmic ray density and UV radiation field. Far-IR data
in the spectral range 100-1000 μm can be used to estimate the molecular gas content of late-type galaxies in an independent
way of CO line measurements once a metallicity-dependent dust to gas ratio is assumed, allowing a direct estimate of X. This exercise is presented here for a large sample of galaxies with available multifrequency data. X spans from ∼ 1020 mol cm-2 (K km s-1)-1 in giant spirals to ∼ 1021 mol cm-2 (K km s-1)-1 in dwarf irregulars.

The evolution of the Star Formation Rate (SFR) density of the Universe as a function of look-back time is a fundamental parameter
in order to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies. The current picture, only outlined in the last years, is that
the global SFR density has dropped by about an order of magnitude from a redshift of z∼1.5 to the current value at z=0. Because
these SFR density studies are now extended to the whole range in redshift, it becomes mandatory to combine data from different
SFR tracers. At low redshifts, optical emission lines are the most widely used. Using Hα as current-SFR tracer, the Universidad
Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey provided the first estimation of the global SFR density in the Local Universe. The Hα flux
in emission is directly related to the number of ionizing photons and, modulo IMF, to the total mass of stars formed. Metallic
lines like [OII]λ3727 and [OIII]λ5007 are affected by metallicity and excitation. Beyond redshifts z∼0.4, Hα is not observable
in the optical and [OII]λ3727 or UV luminosities have to be used. The UCM galaxy sample has been used to obtain a calibration
between [OII]λ3727 luminosity and SFR specially suitable for the different types of star-forming galaxies found by deep spectroscopic
surveys in redshifts up to z∼1.5. These calibrations, when applied to recent deep redshift surveys confirm the drop of the
SFR density of the Universe since z∼1 previously infered in the UV. However, the fundamental parameter that determines galactic
evolution is mass, not luminosity. The mass function for local star-forming galaxies is critical for any future comparison
with other galaxy populations of different evolutionary status. Hα velocity-widths for UCM galaxies indicate that besides
a small fraction of 1010-1011 M⊙ starburst nuclei spirals, the majority have dynamical masses in the ∼109 M⊙ range. A comparison with published data for faint blue galaxies suggests that star-forming galaxies at z∼1 would have SFR
per unit mass and burst strengths similar to those at z=0, but being intrinsically more massive.

Very-high spectral resolution observations of the neutral Na emission have enabled measurements of the velocity dispersions
of the Na atoms within ∼40,000 km of the opto center of Hale-Bopp. Asymmetric Na D line profiles imply both an in situ or
core Na source and a secondary Na source at locations within the inner coma. The core velocity distribution had a FWHM of
2 km s-1. The extended source FWHM increased with distance from the nucleus (up to ∼6 km s-1, but appeared smaller in the more dusty regions (∼2.5–3.0 km s-1) of the inner coma. The D2/D1 line strength ratio was consistent with an optically thin inner coma. Within 5,000 km of the opto center the continuum spatial
intensity profiles decreased as ∼r-1 while the Na D emission decreased at less than r-1.

We discuss the distribution of radial velocities of galaxies belonging to the Local Group. Two independent samples of galaxies as well as several methods of reduction from the heliocentric to the galactocentric radial velocities are explored. We applied the power spectrum analysis using the Hann function as a weighting method, together with the jackknife error estimation. We performed a detailed analysis of this approach. The distribution of galaxy redshifts seems to be non‐random. An excess of galaxies with radial velocities of ∼24 km s–1 and ∼36 km s–1 is detected, but the effect is statistically weak. Only one peak for radial velocities of ∼24 km s–1 seems to be confirmed at the confidence level of 95%. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The Tully–Fisher Relationship (TFR) is utilized to identify anomalous redshifts in normal spiral galaxies. Three redshift anomalies are identified in this analysis: (1) several clusters of galaxies are examined, in which late type spirals have significant excess redshifts relative to early-type spirals in the same clusters; (2) galaxies of morphology similar to ScI galaxies are found to have a systematic excess redshift relative to the redshifts expected if the Hubble Constant is 72 km s−1 Mpc−1; (3) individual galaxies, pairs, and groups are identified which strongly deviate from the predictions of a smooth Hubble flow. These redshift deviations are significantly larger than can be explained by peculiar motions and TFR errors. It is concluded that the redshift anomalies identified in this analysis are consistent with previous claims for large non-cosmological (intrinsic) redshifts. 相似文献

Using the recently completed Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope, we have detected the HI 21 cm-line absorption from the peculiar
galaxy C153 in the galaxy cluster Abell 2125. The HI absorption is at a redshift of 0.2533, with a peak optical depth of 0.36.
The full width at half minimum of the absorption line is 100 km s−1. The estimated column density of atomic Hydrogen is 0.7×1022(T
s
/100) cm−2. The HI absorption is redshifted by ∼400km s−1 compared to the [OIII] emission line from this system. We attribute this to an infalling cold gas or to an out-flowing ionised
gas, or to a combination of both as a consequence of tidal interactions of C153 with either a cluster galaxy or the cluster
potential. 相似文献

We present results of an investigation of clustering evolution of field galaxies between a redshift of z ∼ 1 and the present epoch. The current analysis relies on a sample of ∼ 14000 galaxies in two fields of the COMBO 17 survey.
The redshift distribution extends to z ∼ 1. The amplitude of the three-dimensional correlation function can be estimated by means of the projected correlation function
w(r
p
). The validity of the deprojection was tested on the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). In a flat cosmology with non-zero
cosmological constant for bright galaxies (M
B ≤-18) the clustering growth is proportional to (1+z)
-2. However, the measured clustering evolution clearly depends on Hubble type. While locally the clustering strength of early
type galaxies is equal to that of the bright galaxies, at high redshifts they are much stronger clustered, and thus the clustering
has to evolve much more slowly.

It is well-known that galaxies tend to form elongated associations stretching many degrees across the sky. It is shown here
that especially galaxies of about 3000 to 5000 km s-1 redshift define narrow filaments of from 10 to 50° in length. The surprising feature is that galaxies of very bright apparent
magnitude tend to occur at the centre or ends of these alignments. The 20 brightest galaxies in apparent magnitude north of
°= 0° are investigated here and of the 14 which are uncrowded by nearby bright galaxies, a total of 13 have well marked lines
and concentrations of fainter, higher redshift galaxies 相似文献

Nearby interstellar clouds with high (|ν|≥10km s−1) random velocities although easily detected in NaI and CaII lines have hitherto not been detected (in emission or absorption)
in the HI 21cm line. We describe here deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI absorption observations toward radio
sources with small angular separation from bright O and B stars whose spectra reveal the presence of intervening high random
velocity CaII absorbing clouds. In 5 out of the 14 directions searched we detect HI 21cm absorption features from these clouds.
The mean optical depth of these detections is ∼0.09 and FWHM is ∼10km s−1, consistent with absorption arising from CNM clouds. 相似文献

We examine a sample of 65 galaxies in the Virgo cluster with negative radial velocities relative to the Local Group. Some
features of this sample are pointed out. All of these objects are positioned compactly within a virial zone of radius 6o in
the cluster, but their centroid is displaced relative to the dynamic center of the cluster, M87, by 1o.1 to the northwest.
The dwarf galaxies in this sample are clumped on a scale of ∼10' (50 kpc). The observed asymmetry in the distribution of the
blueshifted galaxies may be caused by infall of a group of galaxies around M86 onto the main body of the cluster. We offer
another attempt to explain this phenomenon, assuming a mutual tangential velocity of ∼300 km/s-1 between the Local Group and the Virgo cluster owing to their being repelled from the local cosmological void. 相似文献

A catalogue is given of the 179 known galaxies within 10 Mpc. The inclusion of a galaxy depends on its redshift (v0 ≤ 500 km s−1) or, in the case of 7 dwarf galaxies, on the fact that their distances are known to be small. The catalogue contains in addition 52 more distant galaxies with v0 ≤ 500 km s−1: 50 are bona fide Virgo cluster members and 2 are members of the Leo group. Positions, types, absorption-corrected luminosities, and velocities are given for the catalogue galaxies. The catalogue is believed to be nearly complete for galaxies brighter than ∽ – 18m.5, but it contains also many considerably fainter galaxies. The galaxies within 10 Mpc form the Local Group with 28 members and seven additional groups with a total of 92 known members. 59 galaxies (33%) do not seem to belong to any group. 相似文献

km s–1 Mpc–1.In contrast, Sc galaxies deviate strongly towars higher redshift from a linear, log redshift—apparent magnitude relation. Not all this deviation can be selection effect due to increasing volume sampled at increasing redshift (Malmquist bias). Physical associations of groups of galaxies in theRSA Catalog are used to establish the existence of various amounts of excess (non-velocity) redshifts among Sc and allied types of galaxies.Independent distances fromHi line width — luminosity criterion (Tully-Fisher) are analyzed. It is shown that this criterion gives much smaller distances than redshifts do for galaxies which deviate above the Hubble line. Unless the Tully-Fisher relation gives too small distances for more luminous galaxies, this confirms the excess redshift to be intrinsic to the Galaxy. But it is next demonstrated, that for low redshift galaxies, there is no discrepancy between redshift and Tully-Fisher distance even though there is a wide range of absolute magnitudes.If Tully-Fisher distances are accepted, the onlly alternative to having a Hubble constant which increases strongly with distance is to have a component of the higher redshift Sc's contributed by a non-recessional redshift. Streaming motions would have to be large, increase with distance and be always in the receding sence. It is shown here that the Sc's which deviate most from the Hubble relation and have the largest discrepancies with Tully-Filsher distances lie predominantly in the sky toward very nearby groups of galaxies. If they were at these closer distances the discordant galaxies, mostly ScI's, would have dwarfish physical properties but not so unprecedented as the large sizes which result from redshift distances.Finally the interaction of specific high redshift ScI's with nearby galaxies is presented as an independent proof that ScI's are generally small, low luminosity galaxies. This result furnishes insight into the long standing puzzle of how apparently distant ScI's can interact with nearby galaxies such as in Stephan's Quintet, Seyfert's Sextet and NGC 4151/4156. 相似文献

We are currently performing a new analysis of the close environment of star-forming dwarf galaxies and its effects on their
star-forming activity. For a sample of 142 thoroughly studied objects, we search the NASA Extragalactic Database for possible
companion galaxies of any apparent luminosity and angular size. From a first analysis of a part of our sample, we find only
about 50% of our objects to be isolated in the sense that no companion object was detected within a redshift difference of
500 km s-1 and an angular separation corresponding to a projected distance of 1 Mpc, assuming H
0=75km s-1 Mpc-1. By splitting the sample into different redshift intervals, we demonstrate an observational bias against low-luminosity companion
objects which implies that a large fraction of star-forming dwarf galaxies, although lacking bright companions, might possess
dwarf companion objects. Similarly to other authors, we find no evidence for a difference in star-forming activity due to
the presence or absence of possible companions.
