摘要:

IV是一个低表面亮度(LSB)的矮星系,距离6.1 Mpc,投射到M31附近。本文介绍了用SAO 6米望远镜(BTA)对HII两个最亮区和Ⅳ区的光谱测量结果。在这两种化合物中都检测到了[OIII]4363的弱谱线,从而用经典的T_e法测定了它们的O/H。它们的12+log(O/H)值分别等于7.49 ± 0.06和7.55 ± 0.23。这些直接的O/H测定与两个最可靠的半经验和经验方法的比较表明,它们具有良好的一致性。对于M_B=-12.6的AndIV绝对蓝星等,我们的O/H值与矮不规则星系(DIG)的O/H与L_B的“标准”关系符合得很好。而IV星系似乎是本体积中极缺金属的富气星系的新代表。具有相近金属丰度和光度的LSB星系的M(HI)的范围非常大,表明LSBG化学演化的简单模型过于局限,无法预测如此惊人的多样性。

英文摘要:

And IV is a low-surface brightness (LSB) dwarf galaxy at the distance of 6.1 Mpc, projecting close to M 31. In this paper the results of spectroscopy of And IV the two brightest HII regions with the SAO 6-m telescope (BTA) are presented. In both of them the faint line [OIII]4363 was detected that allowed us to determine their O/H by the classical T_e method. Their values of 12+log(O/H) are equal to 7.49+-0.06 and 7.55+-0.23, respectively. The comparison of these direct O/H determinations with the two most reliable semi-empirical and empirical methods shows their good consistency. For And IV absolute blue magnitude of M_B=-12.6, our value of O/H corresponds well to the `standard' relation between O/H and L_B for dwarf irregular galaxies (DIGs). And IV appears to be a new representative of the extremely metal-deficient gas-rich galaxies in the Local Volume. The very large range of M(HI) for LSB galaxies with close metallicities and luminosities indicates that the simple models of LSBG chemical evolution are too limited to predict such striking diversity.
