关于经典和伪隆起:早型螺线隆起的性质

On classical and pseudobulges: The nature of bulges of early-type spirals

Reynier Peletier

摘要:

从历史上看,星系凸起被认为是椭圆形的星系状物体,位于一个通常较大的圆盘中间。然而,越来越多的人声称,有些凸起更类似于圆盘。John Kormendy将这些凸起命名为伪凸起。在本文中,我讨论了一些最近的积分场光谱的SAURON合作的样本24 Sa和Sab星系。利用他们的恒星速度、速度色散和吸收线强度的二维地图,现在更容易理解附近星系凸起的性质。本文从表面光度学、恒星运动学、恒星星族、星际物质的存在以及它们在早型星系基平面上的行为等几个方面综述了星系球的研究进展。

英文摘要:

Historically, galactic bulges are thought to be elliptical galaxy-like objects sitting in the middle of a generally larger disk. There are, however, more and more claims that some bulges are much more similar to disks. John Kormendy has named these bulges pseudo-bulges. In this paper I discuss some recent integral field spectroscopy of the SAURON collaboration on a sample of 24 Sa and Sab galaxies. Using their 2-dimensional maps of the stellar velocity, velocity dispersion, and absorption line strength, it is now much easier to understand the nature of nearby galactic bulges. I review several aspects of bulges, namely the surface photometry, stellar kinematics, stellar populations, presence of interstellar matter, and their behavior in the fundamental plane of early-type galaxies.
