摘要
我们用亚弧秒MERLIN 21cm中性氢吸收谱线测量了与Sc星系NGC3079活动核相关的一个4 × 3弧秒(300 × 200pc)区域。宽吸收(200-400 km s - 1)和深吸收(τ ~ 0.5-1)覆盖了该区域的大部分区域,对应于高达3 × 1022原子cm - 2的柱密度。吸收显示出速度梯度,这可能与围绕中心质量(~ 109 M⊙)的旋转一致,但是也存在显著的非圆运动,这可能是由于气体在非轴对称势中的运动。
Neutral hydrogen absorption in the nucleus of NGC3079
We present subarcsecond MERLIN 21cm neutral hydrogen absorption line measurements of a 4 × 3 arcseconds (300 × 200 pc) region associated with the active nucleus of the Sc galaxy NGC3079. Broad (200–400 km s−1) and deep (τ ∼ 0.5–1) absorption is seen over much of the region, corresponding to column densities as high as 3 × 1022 atoms cm−2. The absorption shows a velocity gradient which could be consistent with rotation about a central mass of ∼ 109M⊙, however significant non-circular motions are also present which may be due to gas motions in a non-axisymetric potential.
