摘要:

我们总结了GALEX卫星观测到的大约30%的附近螺旋星系中的扩展紫外(XUV)辐射的主要特性。两种不同类型的XUV盘被确定,1型XUV盘中发现了显著的,结构化的紫外亮特征,超过了“经典”的方位角平均恒星形成阈值,2型XUV盘的特征是非常扩展(大部分恒星质量被发现的区域的七倍),蓝色[(FUV-K)<5 mag]外盘。后面这些盘是星系由内向外生长的极端例子。迄今为止,我们详细研究过的极紫外盘中,HI含量丰富,但分子气体含量相对较少,它们的恒星星族的光度加权年龄为~1 Gyr,电离气体金属丰度为~Zsun/10。作为CAHA-XUV项目的一部分,我们正在获得65个XUV盘星系的深层多波长成像和光谱学,以确定这些特性是否在XUV盘中普遍存在。

英文摘要:

We summarize the main properties of the extended UV (XUV) emission found in roughly 30% of the nearby spiral galaxies observed by the GALEX satellite. Two different classes of XUV disks are identified, the Type 1 XUV disks where significant, structured UV-bright features are found beyond the "classical" azimuthally-averaged star-formation threshold, and the Type 2 XUV disks, which are characterized by very extended (seven times the area where most of the stellar mass is found), blue [(FUV-K)<5mag] outer disks. These latter disks are extreme examples of galaxies growing inside-out. The few XUV disks studied in detail to date are rich in HI but relatively poor in molecular gas, have stellar populations with luminosity-weighted ages of ~1 Gyr, and ionized-gas metal abundances of ~Zsun/10. As part of the CAHA-XUV project we are in the process of obtaining deep multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy of 65 XUV-disk galaxies so to determine whether or not these properties are common among XUV disks.
