摘要:

我们提出的吸收线强度地图的样本24个代表性的早期型螺旋星系,主要是Sa型,作为SAURON调查的一部分,附近的星系使用我们定制的积分场摄谱仪。使用高质量的光谱,空间分仓到一个恒定的信号-噪声,我们测量几个关键的年龄,金属丰度和丰度比敏感指数从舔/IDS系统在一个连续的二维领域,包括凸起和内部光盘。我们提出的H β,Fe 5015和Mg b的地图,为每个星系的吸收线图显示,许多星系包含一些年轻的人口(<= 1 Gyr),分布在小或大的内盘,或在环核恒星形成环。在许多情况下,这些年轻的恒星是在环核小型恒星爆发中形成的,这些恒星爆发在一些早期类型的螺旋中心占据主导地位。这些小型星暴在指数-指数图中造成了相当大的分散,如Mg b-H β和Mg b-Fe 5015,比早期类型星系测量的要多。我们发现,Sa星系的中心区域显示了广泛的年龄范围内,即使在星系。50%的样品在其中心显示速度分散下降。我们样本中的所有星系都位于后发座星系团中椭圆星系的Mg b- $σ$关系之上或之下,而位于椭圆星系的H β吸收线- $σ$关系之上。如果这些关系被认为是最古老的本地星系的关系,我们看到我们的样本的螺旋有相当大的年龄分散,最大的分散在最低的$σ$。这与高度倾斜的样本不一致,在这些样本中,通常只有古老的恒星星族被发现在中心区域。这一切都可以理解,如果…(see其余摘要的纸张)

英文摘要:

We present absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 representative early-type spiral galaxies, mostly of type Sa, obtained as part of the SAURON survey of nearby galaxies using our custom-built integral-field spectrograph. Using high-quality spectra, spatially binned to a constant signal-to-noise, we measure several key age, metallicity and abundance ratio sensitive indices from the Lick/IDS system over a contiguous two-dimensional field including bulge and inner disc. We present maps of H beta, Fe 5015 and Mg b, for each galaxy The absorption line maps show that many galaxies contain some younger populations (<= 1 Gyr), distributed in small or large inner discs, or in circumnuclear star forming rings. In many cases these young stars are formed in circumnuclear mini-starbursts, which are dominating the light in the centres of some of the early-type spirals. These mini-starburst cause a considerable scatter in index-index diagrams such as Mg b- H beta and Mg b -Fe 5015, more than is measured for early-type galaxies. We find that the central regions of Sa galaxies display a wide range in ages, even within the galaxies. 50% of the sample show velocity dispersion drops in their centres. All of the galaxies of our sample lie on or below the Mg b- $σ$ relation for elliptical galaxies in the Coma cluster, and above the H beta absorption line - $σ$ relation for elliptical galaxies. If those relations are considered to be relations for the oldest local galaxies we see that our sample of spirals has a considerable scatter in age, with the largest scatter at the lowest $σ$. This is in disagreement with highly inclined samples, in which generally only old stellar populations are found in the central regions. All this can be understood if ...
