摘要
目的我们发现了在与 NGC 3785 星系相关的孤立环境中观测到的一条延伸的暗淡尾巴。这项研究还提供了支持在尾部形成超漫反射星系(UDGs)的观测证据。我们使用Gnuastro软件,利用暗能量相机遗留巡天的数据,在光学g波段和r波段对低表面亮度结构进行了探测和分析。我们绘制了一张探测图来识别暗淡的尾部,并利用三次样条拟合来测量其长度。此外,我们还沿尾部发现了 84 个恒星形成团块,并在对信噪比应用显著阈值后对尾部进行了光度分析。我们测量了尾部的投影长度,为 390 kpc。我们认为这条尾巴是由NGC 3785与一个富含气体的星系相互作用产生的,该星系在尾巴的末端形成了一个UDG。
A Tale of NGC 3785: The formation of an ultra-diffuse galaxy at the end of the longest tidal tail
Aims. We present the discovery of an extended and faint tail observed in the isolated environment associated with galaxy NGC 3785. This study additionally provides observational evidence supporting the formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) at the end of the tail.Methods. We utilized the Gnuastro software to detect and analyze the low surface brightness structures in the optical g- and r-bands using data from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey. We created a detection map to identify the faint tail and measured its length using cubic spline fitting. Additionally, we found 84 star-forming clumps along the tail and performed photometric analysis on the tail portion after applying a significance threshold on the signal-to-noise ratio.Results. We have measured the projected length of the tail, which is ∼390 kpc. We propose that this tail arises from the interaction of the NGC 3785 with a gas-rich galaxy, which ends up as a UDG at the end of the tail.
