将H $α$亮度转换为恒星形成率

Converting H$α$ Luminosities into Star Formation Rates

Jan Pflamm-Altenburg, Carsten Weidner, Pavel Kroupa

摘要:

最近的研究发现,IGIMF由所有年轻星团中所有新形成的恒星组成的星系轴初始恒星质量函数(积分星系轴初始恒星质量函数),在SFR的依赖下,在高质量区域的斜率比每个星团的基本正则IMF更陡,这为星系恒星形成过程提供了新的见解:SFR和产生的H $α$光度之间的经典线性关系被打破,SFR总是被低估。我们的新关系很可能导致宇宙学SFH的修正。

英文摘要:

The recent finding that the IGIMF (integrated galaxial initial stellar mass function) composed of all newly formed stars in all young star clusters has, in dependence of the SFR, a steeper slope in the high mass regime than the underlying canonical IMF of each star cluster offers new insights into the galactic star formation process: The classical linear relation between the SFR and the produced H$α$ luminosity is broken and SFRs are always underestimated. Our new relation is likely to lead to a revision of the cosmological SFH.
