摘要:

我们从SDSS数据库中偶然发现了一个新的附近低表面亮度(LSB)星系。我们从电子温度估计了它的H II区SDSS J121811.0+465501.2的氧丰度,以及另一个H II区,SDSS J135440.5+535309.6,位于不规则LSB星系UGC 8837。这两个河外H II区在SDSS-DR 4数据库中被分类为恒星,我们在恒星光谱自动识别和分类中偶尔发现,它们的光谱显示出明显的发射线,强的[O III]4959,5007,Balmer发射线,但很弱的[N II] 6548,6583和[S II] 6317,6731,这可能表明它们是贫金属的恒星形成区。两个天体的氧丰度分别为12+log(O/H)~ 7.88 ± 0.30和7.70 ± 0.30。利用GIM 2D软件对H Ⅱ区SDSS J121811.0+465501.2的g和r波段图像进行独立分析,发现它是一个B波段中心面亮度μ 0(B)为23.68 mag arcsec^{-2},倾角约为75 °的新的近边缘LSB盘星系(几乎没有凸起)。这两个天体是一个近距离的矮星系,红移z~0.00157,盘标度长度~0.40 kpc,B带绝对星等M_B ~ -13.51 ma g,它们的氧丰度都很低,证实了LSB星系的低金属丰度。

英文摘要:

We serendipitously find a new nearby Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxy from SDSS database. We estimate oxygen abundance of its H II region SDSS J121811.0+465501.2 from electron temperature, as well as for another H II region, SDSS J135440.5+535309.6, located in irregular LSB galaxy UGC 8837. These two extragalactic H II regions were classified as stars in the SDSS-DR4 database, and were found occasionally by us in the automatic recognition and classification on stellar spectra.Their optical spectra show obvious emission lines, i.e., strong [O III]4959, 5007, Balmer emission lines, but very weak [N II]6548,6583 and [S II]6317,6731, which could indicate that they are metal-poor star-forming regions. The derived oxygen abundances of the two objects are 12+log(O/H) ~ 7.88+-0.30 and 7.70+-0.30, respectively. The host of the H II region SDSS J121811.0+465501.2 is identified as a new nearly edge-on LSB disc galaxy (almost without bulge) with the B-band central surface brightness mu_0(B) as 23.68 mag arcsec^{-2} and inclination angle as ~75 degree by using the GIM2D software to analyze its g- and r-band images independently. It is a nearby dwarf galaxy with redshift z~0.00157, disk scale-length ~0.40 kpc and B-band absolute magnitude M_B ~ -13.51 mag. The very low oxygen abundances of these two objects confirm the low metallicities of LSB galaxies.
