Abstract
Using long-slit and panoramic spectroscopy at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and by mapping emission lines in a narrow passband of 13 Å with the MaNGaL instrument at the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Lomonosov Moscow State University, we have investigated the gaseous component of the giant lenticular galaxy NGC 934. The gas kinematics in the galaxy has turned out to disagree completely with the stellar kinematics, suggesting recent accretion of a large amount of cold gas by the galaxy. Weak star formation proceeds in the accreted gas on the periphery of the galaxy, mainly in a ring of radius 26 kpc, which may promise the buildup of a giant low-surface-brightness stellar disk in this early-type galaxy. The gas metallicity in the star formation ring is nearly solar: the accretion source is most likely the swallowing of a massive gas-rich satellite.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
