椭圆星系NGC 5044:恒星星族和电离气体

The elliptical galaxy NGC 5044: Stellar population and ionized gas

M. G. Rickes, M. G. Pastoriza, Ch Bonatto

摘要:

本文利用长缝光谱和恒星星族综合方法研究了椭圆星系NGC 5044中的恒星星族、金属丰度分布和电离气体。我们发现沿星系的金属线剖面的斜率存在差异,这表明α元素的增强,特别是朝向中心区域。非热电离源的存在,如低光度活动星系核和/或冲击电离,是由在所有采样区域观察到的比值(N II])Ha的大值暗示。然而,在外部区域观察到的发射线表明存在额外的电离源,可能是热的后AGB恒星。

英文摘要:

In this work we investigate the stellar population, metallicity distribution and ionized gas in the elliptical galaxy NGC 5044, using long-slit spectroscopy and a stellar population synthesis method. We found differences in the slope of metal-line profiles along the galaxy which suggests an enhancement of alpha elements, particularly towards the central region. The presence of a non-thermal ionization source, such as a low-luminosity AGN and/or shock ionization, is implied by the large values of the ratio (N II])Ha observed in all sampled regions. However, the emission lines observed in the external regions indicate the presence of an additional ionization source, probably hot, post-AGB stars.
