A neutral hydrogen survey of polar ring galaxies
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 33 polar ring galaxies and polar ring galaxy candidates were observed in the 21-cm H i line with the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The objects, selected by their optical morphology, are all south of declination –39◦ and in only 5 of them H i had been reported previously. H i line emission was detected towards 18 objects, though in 3 cases the detection may be confused by another galaxy in the telescope beam, and one is a marginal detection. Eight objects were detected for the first time in H i, of which 5 did not have previously

On the Origin of Anomalous Velocity Clouds in the Milky Way
We report that neutral hydrogen (H i) gas clouds, resembling High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) observed in the Milky Way (MW), appear in MW sized disk galaxies formed in high resolution Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmological simulations which self-consistently include gas-dynamics, radiative cooling, star formation, supernova feedback, and metal enrichment. Two disk galaxies found in cosmological simula...
متن کاملEvaluation of New MOND Interpolating Function with Rotation Curves of Galaxies
The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry,...
متن کاملFormation of a polar-ring galaxy in a galaxy merger
We numerically investigate stellar and gas dynamics in star-forming and dissipative galaxy mergers between two disk galaxies with specific orbital configurations. We find that violent relaxation combined with gaseous dissipation in galaxy merging transforms two disk galaxies into one S0 galaxy with polar-rings: Both the central S0-like host and the polar-ring component in a polar-ring galaxy ar...
متن کاملThe gas content of peculiar galaxies: counterrotators and polar rings
This paper studies the global ISM content in a sample of 104 accreting galaxies, including counterrotators and polar rings, which spans the entire Hubble sequence. The molecular, atomic and hot gas content of accretors is compared to a newly compiled sample of normal galaxies. We present results of a small survey of the J=1–0 line of CO with the 15m SEST telescope on a sample of 11 accretors (1...
متن کاملPolar Ring Galaxies: Formation and Properties
Formation scenarios for polar ring galaxies are studied through N-body simulations that are compared with existing observations. It is shown that polar rings are likely to be formed by tidal accretion of the polar material from a gas rich donor galaxy. The distribution of dark matter in polar ring galaxies is studied: dark halos seem to be flattened towards the polar rings.
