Neutral Hydrogen in Dwarf Galaxies Ii. the Kinematics of Hi
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is the second in a series presenting a sample of 29 late-type dwarf galaxies observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI). Here we present rotation curves, maps of the velocity field and maps of the velocity dispersion across the sample galaxies.

Neutral hydrogen in dwarf galaxies I . The
This paper is the first in a series presenting a sample of 30 late-type dwarf galaxies, observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in the 21-cm line of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI). The sample itself, the HI content of and the HI distribution in the sample galaxies are briefly discussed. Four sample galaxies were also detected in the continuum.
متن کاملNeutral Gas Distributions and Kinematics of Five Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies
We present the results of high spatial resolution HI observations of five intrinsically compact dwarf galaxies which are currently experiencing a strong burst of star formation. The HI maps indicate that these systems have a complex and clumpy interstellar medium. Unlike typical dwarf irregular galaxies, these Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies exhibit strong central concentrations in their neut...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Dwarf-Irregular Galaxy NGC 1569: A Kinematic Study of the Stars and Gas
The evolution and formation of dwarf galaxies has great importance to our knowledge of cosmological history from the Big Bang through the present day structure we observe in our local universe. Dwarf galaxies are believed to be the “building blocks” of larger galaxies, which implies that interactions and mergers of these small systems must have occurred frequently in the early universe. There i...
متن کاملDetection of neutral hydrogen in early-type dwarf galaxies of the Sculptor Group
We present our results of deep 21 cm neutral hydrogen (Hi) line observations of five early and mixed-type dwarf galaxies in the nearby Sculptor group using the ATNF 64m Parkes Radio Telescope. Four of these objects, ESO294-G010, ESO410-G005, ESO540-G030, and ESO540-G032, were detected in Hi with neutral hydrogen masses in the range of 2− 9× 10 M⊙ (MHI/LB = 0.08, 0.13, 0.16, and 0.18 M⊙/L⊙, resp...
