斯皮策关于边缘螺旋的观点

Spitzer's View of Edge-on Spirals

B. W. Holwerda, R. S. de Jong, A. Seth, J. J. Dalcanton, M. Regan, E. Bell, S. Bianchi

摘要:

边缘上的螺旋星系提供了一个独特的视角。人们可以精确地确定恒星的高度分布,ISM和视线积分允许研究微弱的结构。斯皮策IRAC相机是研究ISM和附近星系恒星结构的理想工具;它的两个通道跟踪几乎没有消光的旧恒星盘,8微米的通道主要是最小的尘埃颗粒(多环芳烃,PAH)。Dalcanton等人(2004)探索了尘埃带的出现与盘稳定性之间的联系。在一个没有膨胀的圆盘样本中,他们展示了在大质量圆盘中,ISM是如何坍缩成典型的薄尘埃带的。质量较小的盘在引力作用下是稳定的,它们的尘埃形态是破碎的。对于无凸起的盘,转变发生在120 km/s。在这里,我们报告我们的斯皮策/IRAC调查的结果附近的边缘上的螺旋和它的第一个结果的近红外塔利-费舍尔关系,和ISM磁盘的稳定性。

英文摘要:

Edge-on spiral galaxies offer a unique perspective on disks. One can accurately determine the height distribution of stars and ISM and the line-of-sight integration allows for the study of faint structures. The Spitzer IRAC camera is an ideal instrument to study both the ISM and stellar structure in nearby galaxies; two of its channels trace the old stellar disk with little extinction and the 8 micron channel is dominated by the smallest dust grains (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs). Dalcanton et al. (2004) probed the link between the appearance of dust lanes and the disk stability. In a sample of bulge-less disks they show how in massive disks the ISM collapses into the characteristic thin dust lane. Less massive disks are gravitationally stable and their dust morphology is fractured. The transition occurs at 120 km/s for bulgeless disks. Here we report on our results of our Spitzer/IRAC survey of nearby edge-on spirals and its first results on the NIR Tully-Fischer relation, and ISM disk stability.
