Gas and star formation in Galaxy satellites

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have imaged the entirety of eight (plus one partial) Milky Way (MW)-like satellite systems, a total of 42 (45) satellites, from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs II catalog in both H{alpha} and HI with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and the Jansky Very Large Array.

Description

In these eight systems we have identified four cases where a satellite appears to be currently undergoing ram pressure stripping (RPS) as its HI gas collides with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of its host.

We also see a clear suppression of gas fraction (M_HI_/M*) with decreasing (projected) satellite-host separation-to our knowledge, the first time this has been observed in a sample of MW-like systems. Comparisons to the Auriga, A

Project

Of Simulating The Local Environment, and TNG50 cosmological zoom-in simulations show consistent global behavior, but they systematically underpredict gas fractions across all satellites by roughly 0.5 dex. Using a simplistic RPS model, we estimate the average peak CGM density that satellites in these systems have encountered to be log{rho}_cgm_~-27.3g/cm^3^. Furthermore, we see tentative evidence that these satellites are following a specific star formation rate to gas fraction relation that is distinct from field galaxies.

Finally, we detect one new gas-rich satellite in the UGC 903 system with an optical size and surface brightness meeting the standard criteria to be considered an ultra- diffuse galaxy.
