矮不规则星系DDO 53中的弥散电离气体

Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy DDO 53

A. M. Hidalgo-Gamez

摘要:

研究了矮不规则星系DDO 53的光谱特征.结果与其他不规则星系非常相似:高激发和低[SII]/H α比值。最有可能的电离源是来自经典HII区域的光子泄漏,没有任何其他来源,尽管星系的星际介质相当扰动。此外,整个星系的物理条件并没有太大变化,因为光子泄漏百分比和电离温度都非常相似。此外,两个HII区域的金属含量表明DDO 53是一个低金属量星系。

英文摘要:

The spectral characteristics throughout the dwarf irregular galaxy DDO 53 are studied. The results are very similar to those for other irregular galaxies: high excitation and low values of the [SII]/Halpha ratio. The most likely ionization source is photon leakage from the classical HII regions, without any other source, although the interstellar medium of the galaxy is quite perturbed. Moreover, the physical conditions throughout the galaxy do not change very much because both the photon leakage percentage and the ionization temperature are very similar. In addition, the determined metal content for two HII regions indicates that DDO 53 is a low-metallicity galaxy.
