Dynamics of tidal dwarf galaxies in the system Arp 72
Some interactions between galaxies produce tidal tails primarily composed of material from their disks. Within these tails, concentrations of gas and stars can form, resembling dwarf galaxies. These tidal objects often begin to form stars and become dynamically independent of their parent galaxies, leading to their classification as Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs). By definition, TDGs should consist solely of baryonic material, with a negligible dark matter fraction. In this study, we analyze the dynamics of two TDGs in the Arp 72 system using high-resolution Hα observations obtained with the MEGARA multi-spectrograph at the GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias) and neutral hydrogen (HI) data from the GMRT (Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope). The HI data were also used to determine the gas mass. We derived the rotation curves and velocity dispersion from the kinematic data, which allowed us to estimate the dynamical mass of the systems. The TDGs were modeled through 3D fitting as rotating disks with additional pressure support, assuming a mass distribution following an exponential law. The gas mass was combined with the stellar mass to determine the total baryonic mass. Under specific dynamical considerations, we established the relationship between the dynamical mass and the baryonic mass. Additionally, we used the pressure-support corrected circular velocity to compare the behavior of TDGs in the context of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) with the literature, showing how detached TDGs fall off the relation. The two studied objects are consistent with the expected properties of a TDG.
