RESUMEN
Se presentan relaciones de escala entre la velocidad virial (V) y la dispersión de velocidades uni-dimensional central (σ0); el radio gravitacional (Rv) y el radio efectivo (Re); y la masa total (M) y la masa luminosa (ML) encontradas en simulaciones de N-cuerpos de fusiones binarias entre galaxias espirales. Estas relaciones son de la forma V2 α0σ, Rv α Reβ y M α MLγ. Los valores particulares obtenidos para {α,β,γ} dependen del método de ajuste utilizado [mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (OLS) o regresión ortogonal de distancia (ODR)], el tipo de perfil supuesto [de Vaucouleurs (deV) o de Sérsic (S)], y el tamaño del intervalo radial donde se hace el ajuste. Los índices α y γ resultan ser los más sensibles al procedimiento de ajuste, obteniéndose para el OLS un promedio (α)ols = 1.51 y (γ)ols = 0.69, mientras que para el ODR un (α)odr = 2.35 y (γ)odr = 0.76. El índice β depende más de el perfil adoptado, con (β)deV = 0.13 y (β)s = 0.27. Concluímos que los remanentes de fusiones formados de manera no disipativa tienen un rompimiento fuerte de homología estructural y cinemática.
ABSTRACT
We present scaling relations between the virial velocity (V) and the one-dimensional central velocity dispersion (σ0); the gravitational radius (Rv) and the effective radius (Re); and the total mass (M) and the luminous mass (ML) found in N-body simulations of binary mergers of spiral galaxies. These scalings are of the form V2 α0σ, Rv α Reβ y M α MLγ. The particlar values obtained for {α,β,γ} depend on the method of fitting used [ordinary least-squares (OLS) or orthogonal distance regression (ODR)], the assumed profile [de Vaucouleurs (deV) or Sérsic (S)], and the size of the radial interval where the fit is done. The α and γ indexes turn out more sensitive to the fitting procedure, resulting for the OLS in a mean (α)ols = 1.51 and (γ)ols = 0.69, while for the ODR (α)odr = 2.35 and (γ)odr = 0.76. The β index depends more on the adopted type of profile, with (β)deV = 0.13 and (β)s = 0.27. We conclude that dissipationless formed remnants of mergers have a strong breaking of structural and kinematical homology.
