NeIII/OII作为HII区和HII星系中氧丰度的指示器

NeIII/OII as an oxygen abundance indicator in the HII regions and HII galaxies

F. Shi, G. Zhao, Y. C. Liang

摘要:

为了校准Ne 3 O2(Ne 3 O2 = log(\neiii $\lambda3869$ / \oii $\lambda3727$))和氧丰度之间的关系,我们从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)数据发布的第四版中选取了$\sim$ 3000个$\hii$星系。它们与文献中旨在扩大氧丰度区域的样品相关。用直接方法计算了SDSS样品中210个星系的电子温度($T_e$),用经验方法计算了SDSS样品中其他2960个星系的电子温度($T_e$)。然后,我们使用线性最小二乘拟合来校准Ne 3 O2氧丰度指示器。据发现,Ne 3 O2估计遵循的线性关系与\zoh \,适用于整个丰度范围所涵盖的样品,从约7.0至9.0。标定了Ne_3O_2与氧丰度之间的最佳线性关系。富金属星系中氧丰度和Ne_3 O_2指数之间的色散可能部分来自于氧在颗粒上的适度耗尽。$Ne3O2$方法具有单值且不受内部红化影响的优点。结果表明,$Ne3O2$方法在\hii区和\hii星系中,特别是在高红移星系中,可以作为一个很好的金属丰度指示器。

英文摘要:

To calibrate the relationship between Ne3O2 (Ne3O2 = log(\neiii$\lambda3869$/\oii$\lambda3727$)) and oxygen abundances, we present a sample of $\sim$3000 $\hii$ galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data release four. They are associated with a sample from the literature intended to enlarge the oxygen abundance region. We calculated the electron temperatures ($T_e$) of 210 galaxies in the SDSS sample with the direct method, and $T_e$ of the other 2960 galaxies in SDSS sample calculated with an empirical method. Then, we use a linear least-square fitting to calibrate the Ne3O2 oxygen abundance indicator. It is found that the Ne3O2 estimator follows a linear relation with \zoh\ that holds for the whole abundance range covered by the sample, from approximately 7.0 to 9.0. The best linear relationship between the Ne3O2 and the oxygen abundance is calibrated. The dispersion between oxygen abundance and Ne3O2 index in the metal rich galaxies may come partly from the moderate depletion of oxygen onto grains. The $Ne3O2$ method has the virtue of being single-valued and not affected by internal reddening. As a result, the $Ne3O2$ method can be a good metallicity indicator in the \hii regions and \hii galaxies, especially in high-redshift galaxies.
