- Аннотация: We discuss the results of a mass decomposition of two spiral galaxies, NGC 6824 and UGC 11919. In a previous analysis of the Hyperleda catalog, the galaxies were identified as having a peculiar dynamical mass-to-light ratio. The aim of this study is to confirm or disprove the preliminary findings, indicating a non-standard stellar initial mass function (IMF) for the galaxies. The surface photometry in B,V, and R bands was carried out with the Apache Point 0.5-m telescope and the Hi data cubes were obtained with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT). Photometric profiles were decomposed into bulge and exponential disk components. Using the obtained Hi data cubes, rotation curves of both galaxies were constructed. Employing the photometric profiles, the mass distribution of the galaxies was decomposed into mass components: bulge, stellar disk, gas, and pseudo-isothermal dark halo. We conclude that NGC 6824 possesses a stellar disk with mass-to-light ratio (M/LB)disk = 2.5, in agreement with its color (B − V)0. On the contrary, UGC 11919 appears to have a very lightweight disk. Its dynamically estimated mass corresponds to a low stellar disk mass-to-light ratio (M/LB)disk ≈ 0.5. Under standard assumptions, this ratio does not agree with the relatively red color of the disk, while a bottom light stellar initial mass function is needed to explain the observations.
