TL;DR
This study uses 3D spectroscopy to analyze the complex ionized gas kinematics of NGC 7673, revealing asymmetric rotation, multiple kinematic components, and supporting a minor merger scenario as the starburst trigger.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed 3D kinematic analysis of NGC 7673, identifying multiple components and supporting the minor merger hypothesis for starburst activity.
Findings
Asymmetric velocity field with 60 km/s difference
Identification of two decoupled kinematic components
Evidence supporting minor merger scenario
Abstract
The kinematic properties of the ionized gas of local Luminous Compact Blue Galaxy (LCBG) NGC 7673 are presented using three dimensional data taken with the PPAK integral field unit at the 3.5-m telescope in the Centro Astron\'omico Hispano Alem\'an. Our data reveal an asymmetric rotating velocity field with a peak to peak difference of 60 km s. The kinematic centre is found to be at the position of a central velocity width maximum ( km s), which is consistent with the position of the luminosity-weighted centroid of the entire galaxy. The position angle of the minor rotation axis is 168 as measured from the orientation of the velocity field contours. At least two decoupled kinematic components are found. The first one is compact and coincides with the position of the second most active star formation region (clump B). The second one is extended and…
