摘要:

摘要:本文分析了斯皮策太空望远镜对三个低表面亮度(LSB)光学巨星系Malin 1、UGC 6614和UGC 9024的观测结果。中红外和远红外的形态,光谱能量分布和综合颜色被用来推导尘埃质量,尘埃与气体的质量比,总红外光度和恒星形成率(SFR)。8微米的图像表明,多环芳烃分子存在于所有三个贫金属LSB星系的中心区域。Malin 1和UGC 9024的漫射光盘在中红外和远红外波长下仍然未被检测到。三个LSB星系中尘埃最多的是UGC 6614,它的红外线形态随波长变化很大。8微米和24微米的发射与之前在UGC 6614外环中观察到的Hα发射是同空间的。估计的尘埃与气体的比率,从小于10^{-3}到10^{-2},支持先前的迹象,即LSB星系与HSB星系相比,尘埃相对较少。总的红外光度大约是蓝波段光度的1/3到1/2,这表明古老的恒星星族是这些LSB天体中尘埃加热的主要来源。根据红外数据估算的SFR范围约为0.01-0.88 Msun yr^{-1},与光学研究的结果一致。

英文摘要:

Abridged: We present analysis of Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the three low surface brightness (LSB) optical giant galaxies Malin 1, UGC 6614 and UGC 9024. Mid- and far-infrared morphology, spectral energy distributions, and integrated colors are used to derive the dust mass, dust-to-gas mass ratio, total infrared luminosity, and star formation rate (SFR). The 8 micron images indicate that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules are present in the central regions of all three metal-poor LSB galaxies. The diffuse optical disks of Malin 1 and UGC 9024 remain undetected at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths. The dustiest of the three LSB galaxies, UGC 6614, has infrared morphology that varies significantly with wavelength. The 8 and 24 micron emission is co-spatial with Hαemission previously observed in the outer ring of UGC 6614. The estimated dust-to-gas ratios, from less than 10^{-3} to 10^{-2}, support previous indications that the LSB galaxies are relatively dust poor compared to the HSB galaxies. The total infrared luminosities are approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the blue band luminosities, suggesting that old stellar populations are the primary source of dust heating in these LSB objects. The SFR estimated from the infrared data ranges ~0.01-0.88 M_sun yr^{-1}, consistent with results from optical studies.
