Markarian 348: A Tidally Disturbed Seyfert Galaxy

Abstract: Combined optical and radio images of galaxies can provide new insights into the sizes, masses, and possible evolution of these objects. Deep optical and neutral hydrogen images of Markarian 348, a type 2 Seyfert galaxy, show that it is a gigantic spiral (perhaps the largest known non-cluster galaxy). Measurements of the neutral hydrogen velocity field and spiral structure, and detection of an optical "tidal plume," all provide evidence that it has been subject to tidal disruption. The measured velocities yield… Show more

“…Evidence of the existence of such reservoir can be seen in the HI gas distribution around galaxies (e.g. Simkin et al 1987, Tilanus & Allen 1993, extending further out than the UV-disks, and could well be the source for such cosmic accretion (Sancisi et al 2008). These would support the inside-out disk growth scenario.…”

“…UGC 508 (NGC 266) lies about 23 to the northeast of UGC 499; the peculiar structure of the gas in UGC 499 might be a result of a past interaction with its neighbour. The H properties of UGC 499 were discussed in detail by Heckman et al (1982) and Simkin et al (1987). UGC 624 (NGC 338) is one of the most lopsided galaxies in our sample, both in the gas distribution and in the kinematics.…”

“…Since the H i gas extends in most disk galaxies much further than the optical disk, it is more loosely bound in the outer region because of the decrease of the gravitational potential. Hence, it provides an ideal tool to identify interactions and tidal features (e.g., Simkin et al 1987;Mundell et al 1995). Furthermore, due to its dissipative nature the gas is more sensitive to dynamical disturbances, either internal, such as non-axisymmetric potentials, or external, such as tidal interactions.…”
