摘要:

我们研究了五个低表面亮度星系(LSBG)的红外特性,并将它们与相关的但表面亮度较高的星系进行比较,使用斯皮策太空望远镜的图像和光谱。在3.6和4.5 μ m波段探测到的所有LSBG代表了恒星星族。除了一个外,所有的都在5.8和8.0微米处被探测到,揭示了热尘埃和芳香分子的发射,尽管许多在这些波长处是微弱的或点状的。在远红外波长24、70和160 μ m处的LSBG的检测在形态和亮度上是不同的,在160 μ m处只有两个检测,导致光谱能量分布高度变化。与之前对这些星系的预期一致,我们发现只有一些LSBG存在可检测的尘埃成分,尘埃发射的强度取决于明亮恒星形成区域的存在。然而,远红外辐射可能相对较弱,与正常的恒星形成星系相比。

英文摘要:

We examine the infrared properties of five low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) and compare them with related but higher surface brightness galaxies, using Spitzer Space Telescope images and spectra. All the LSBGs are detected in the 3.6 and 4.5um bands, representing the stellar population. All but one are detected at 5.8 and 8.0um, revealing emission from hot dust and aromatic molecules, though many are faint or point-like at these wavelengths. Detections of LSBGs at the far-infrared wavelengths, 24, 70, and 160um, are varied in morphology and brightness, with only two detections at 160um, resulting in highly varied spectral energy distributions. Consistent with previous expectations for these galaxies, we find that detectable dust components exist for only some LSBGs, with the strength of dust emission dependent on the existence of bright star forming regions. However, the far-infrared emission may be relatively weak compared with normal star-forming galaxies.
