Longslit spectroscopy of the peculiar Seyfert 2 galaxy HRG 10103
|
Resumo: |
We present the first optical longslit spectroscopy for the galaxy HRG 10103,
an Sa(r) type peculiar galaxy seen face-on with an asymmetrical elliptical
structure. The aim of the current study is to describe the main properties
of this object and also discuss possible evidences of gravitational
interaction. The spectra obtained in two observatories (Gemini-South and
OPD-MCT/LNA) includes some of the most important emission lines for ionization
diagnostic. On the other hand, there are also observable spectral signatures
that can reveal evidences of a recent starburst activity in the nuclear region.
HRG 10103 is a Seyfert 2 galaxy with typical line-ratios values in the
optical range. However, we also present a diagnostic involving the known
intensity ratio R23
which appears to be very good criterion allowing to
discriminate the Seyfert 2 from H II galaxies. We discuss the spectral
analysis (reddening correction, AGN activity and kinematics), the stellar
populations and the variation of emission-line rations as function of
distance from the nucleus. We have estimated nuclear redshift of z = 0.038,
corresponding to a heliocentric velocity of 11 560
± 14 km s-1.
The errors
in the fluxes were mostly caused by uncertainties in the placement of the
continuum level. Some other physical parameters have been derived whenever
possible. The spectroscopic data reduction was carried out using the GEMINI.
GMOS package as well as the standard IRAF procedures.
