极环镓的光度测量

Photometry of Polar-Ring Galaxies

Arturo Godínez-Martínez, Alan M. Watson, Lynn D. Matthews, Linda S. Sparke

摘要:

我们从Whitmore等人(1990)的极环星表中获得了七个已确认或可能存在的极环星系的B和R测光结果。环显示从B-R \approx 0.6到B-R \approx 1.7的颜色范围。最蓝的环有明亮的HII区域,这是最近恒星形成的直接证据。最红环的最小年龄,即PRC B-20的最小年龄,由于缺乏对内部红化和金属丰度的了解而有些不确定,但似乎至少是1.2 Gyr。因此,这个环可能至少在几个旋转周期内是稳定的。这枚戒指是一个很好的候选人,未来的研究可能会更好地确定它是否真的老。

英文摘要:

We have obtained photometry in B and R for seven confirmed or probable polar-ring galaxies from the Polar-Ring Catalog of Whitmore et al. (1990). The rings show a range of colors from B-R \approx 0.6 to B-R \approx 1.7. The bluest rings have bright HII regions, which are direct evidence for recent star formation. The minimum age of the reddest ring, that in PRC B-20, is somewhat uncertain because of a lack of knowledge of the internal reddening and metallicity, but appears to be at least 1.2 Gyr. As such, this ring is likely to be stable for at least several rotation periods. This ring is an excellent candidate for future studies that might better determine if it is truly old.
