Ages of Elliptical Galaxies: Single versus Multi Population Interpretation

T. P. Idiart, J. Silk, J. A. de Freitas Pacheco

摘要:

本文提出了椭圆星系分光光度指数的新刻度,它是分光光度指数的函数,可以用来估计平均恒星星族年龄和金属丰度。这些校准是基于演化模型,包括一个两相星际介质,infall和银河wind.Free参数被固定,要求模型再现的平均趋势的数据在颜色星等图,以及在平面上的指数Hbeta-Mg 2和Mg 2-<Fe>。为了改善微弱椭圆(MB &gt; -20)在Hba-Mg 2图中的位置,引入了缩小尺寸。应用我们的校准的一个样本的椭圆星系和比较来自单一的恒星星族模型的结果。我们的模型表明,平均人口年龄跨越7-12 Gyr的间隔,并与金属丰度,范围从大约一半到三倍太阳。

英文摘要:

New calibrations of spectrophotometric indices of elliptical galaxies as functions of spectrophotometric indices are presented, permitting estimates of mean stellar population ages and metallicities. These calibrations are based on evolutionary models including a two-phase interstellar medium, infall and a galactic wind.Free parameters were fixed by requiring that models reproduce the mean trend of data in the color-magnitude diagram as well as in the plane of indices Hbeta-Mg2 and Mg2-<Fe>. To improve the location of faint ellipticals(MB > -20) in the Hbeta-Mg2 diagram, down-sizing was introduced. An application of our calibrations to a sample of ellipticals and a comparison with results derived from single stellar population models is given. Our models indicate that mean population ages span an interval of 7-12 Gyr and are correlated with metallicities, which range from approximately half up to three times solar.
