Shapley超星系团中暗红星系的年龄和金属丰度

Ages and metallicities of faint red galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster

Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey, Michael J. Hudson

摘要:

我们目前的结果的恒星星族的232个静止星系的沙普利超星系团,光谱的基础上,从AAOmega摄谱仪在AAT。这次巡天的主要特点是覆盖了许多低光度天体(sigma ~ 50 km/s),信噪比高(~45/埃)。巴耳末线年龄估计恢复与~25%的精度,即使是最微弱的样本成员。我们总结了观测和吸收线数据,并提出了派生的年龄和金属丰度与质量和光度的相关性。我们强调年龄和α-元素丰度比之间的强相关性,以及年龄和金属丰度在固定质量下的反相关性,这被证明是延伸到低光度制度。

英文摘要:

We present results on the stellar populations of 232 quiescent galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster, based on spectroscopy from the AAOmega spectrograph at the AAT. The key characteristic of this survey is its coverage of many low-luminosity objects (sigma ~ 50 km/s), with high signal-to-noise (~45 per Angstrom). Balmer-line age estimates are recovered with ~25% precision even for the faintest sample members. We summarize the observations and absorption line data, and present correlations of derived ages and metallicities with mass and luminosity. We highlight the strong correlation between age and alpha-element abundance ratio, and the anti-correlation of age and metallicity at fixed mass, which is shown to extend into the low-luminosity regime.
