用HST观测到的NGC 4214的年轻恒星星族。II。结果

The young stellar population of NGC 4214 as observed with HST. II. Results

Leonardo Úbeda, J. Maíz-Apellániz, John MacKenty

摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的紫外光学研究的结果,附近的矮星暴星系NGC 4214使用多滤波器HST/WFPC 2 +STIS测光。恒星消光被发现是相当不均匀的,有些区域的E(4405-5495)值小于0.1等,而其他与恒星形成区相关的区域则被严重遮蔽,这一结果与先前对星云消光的研究一致。我们确定了蓝红超巨星的比例,发现它与SMC金属丰度的理论模型一致。在20-100太阳质量的范围内,恒星的IMF被发现比Salpeter更陡峭。一些大规模的集群和协会之间的几个和2亿年的年龄检测和他们的属性进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a detailed UV-optical study of the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 4214 using multifilter HST/WFPC2+STIS photometry. The stellar extinction is found to be quite patchy, with some areas having values of E(4405-5495)< 0.1 mag and others, associated with star forming regions, much more heavily obscured, a result which is consistent with previous studies of the nebular extinction. We determined the ratio of blue-to-red supergiants and found it to be consistent with theoretical models for the metallicity of the SMC. The stellar IMF of the field in the range 20-100 solar masses is found to be steeper than Salpeter. A number of massive clusters and associations with ages between a few and 200 million years are detected and their properties are discussed.
