Abstract (from CDS):

We select 36 double-peaked narrow emission-line galaxies (DPGs) from 10 010 unique galaxies in MaNGA survey. These DPGs show double-peaked Balmer lines and forbidden lines in the spectra. We use a double Gaussian model to separate the double-peaked profiles of each emission line into blue and red components ($\lambda _\text{blue}$ < $\lambda _\text{red}$), and analyse the spatially resolved kinematics and ionization mechanisms of each component. We find that in 35 out of 36 DPGs, the flux ratio between the blue and red components varies systematically along the major axes, while it keeps roughly a constant along the minor axes. The blue and red components of these DPGs exhibit similar distributions in both the value of line-of-sight velocity and the velocity dispersion. Additionally, 83.3 per cent DPGs have both blue and red components located in the same ionization region in the ${\rm {[S\,{\small II}]}}$-BPT diagram. Combining all these observational results, we suggest that the double-peaked emission line profiles in these 35 DPGs primarily originate from rotating discs. The remaining one galaxy shows clear outflow features. 8 out of 35 DPGs show symmetric line profiles that indicate undisturbed rotating discs, and the other 27 DPGs exhibit asymmetric profiles, suggesting dynamic disturbances in the rotating discs. Furthermore, we find that 58.3 per cent DPGs experienced external processes, characterized by tidal features, companion galaxies, as well as gas-star misalignments. This fraction is about twice as much as that of the control sample, suggesting the origin of double-peaked emission line profiles is associated with external processes.
