Longslit spectroscopy of the starburst galaxy HRG 02041
|
Resumo: |
We investigate in detail the kinematics and morphology of the starburst galaxy
HRG 02401. Our observational data were obtained at the 1.6-m OPD/LNA-MCT
telescope with longslit spectroscopy. The original image has been enhanced
to highlight some substructures and it has shown that HRG 02401 is in phase
of active merging with a companion galaxy. The resulting tidal perturbations
may have induced the apparent two-armed spiral pattern, and driven a
substantial fraction of disc gas inwards. We have been able to study the
detailed picture of ionized gas motions up to galactocentric distances of
11kpc and to construct the stellar velocity field for the inner region.
Although the optical ring is quite narrow, H? emission is observed all the
way through the center of the galaxy, indicating the presence of an extended
gaseous disk. We have estimated nuclear redshift of z = 0.017, corresponding
to a heliocentric velocity of
5 206 ± 13.01 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. All spectra were reduced and analyzed in a homogeneous way with
the standard IRAF procedures.
