摘要
We present the demography of the dynamics and gas mass fraction of 33 extremely metal-poor galaxies (EMPGs) with metallicities of 0.015-0.195 Z(circle dot) and low stellar masses of 10(4)-10(8)M(circle dot) in the local universe. We conduct deep optical integral field spectroscopy (IFS) for the low-mass EMPGs with the medium-high resolution (R = 7500) grism of the 8 m Subaru FOCAS IFU instrument by the EMPRESS 3D survey, and investigate the H alpha emission of the EMPGs. Exploiting the resolution high enough for the low-mass galaxies, we derive gas dynamics with the H alpha lines by the fitting of three-dimensional disk models. We obtain an average maximum rotation velocity (v(rot)) of 15 +/- 3 km s(-1) and an average intrinsic velocity dispersion (sigma(0)) of 27 +/- 10 km s(-1) for 15 spatially resolved EMPGs out of 33 EMPGs, and find that all 15 EMPGs have v(rot)/sigma(0) < 1 suggesting dispersion-dominated systems. There is a clear decreasing trend of v(rot)/sigma(0) with the decreasing stellar mass and metallicity. We derive the gas mass fraction (f(gas)) for all 33 EMPGs, and find no clear dependence on stellar mass and metallicity. These v(rot)/sigma(0) and f(gas) trends should be compared with young high-z galaxies observed by the forthcoming JWST IFS programs to understand the physical origins of the EMPGs in the local universe.
