斯隆数字巡天中盘状星系中与倾斜有关的消光效应

Inclination-Dependent Extinction Effects in Disk Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Cayman T. Unterborn, Barbara S. Ryden

摘要:

本文分析了Sloan数字巡天数据Release 6中的低红移(z<0.06)星系的绝对星等(M_r)和色(u-r)。具有近似指数分布(Sloan参数fracDeV < 0.1)的星系落在色-星等图的蓝色序列上,另外,如果这些指数星系的M_r <-19,则它们的u-r色与尘埃盘星系的视轴比q有关。通过对不同q值的指数星系的光度函数进行拟合,我们发现其变暗可以用关系式Δ M_r = 1.27(log q)^[2]来描述,而不是通常假设的Δ M = C log q定律。当明亮指数星系的绝对星等被校正为其“正面”值M_r^f = M_r - Delta M_r时,对于给定的q值,平均u-r颜色与M_r^f线性相关。近面对面指数星系(q > 0.9)的平均u-r色对M_r^f的依赖性很小(每亮一个星等,红0.096星等)。相比之下,近边缘指数星系(q < 0.3)每亮一个星等,就会红0.265个星等。当使用变暗定律Δ M = 1.27(log q)^2来创建一个倾斜校正的明亮指数星系样本时,它们的表观形状被证实与轻度非圆形圆盘的分布一致,短轴与长轴之比的中值γ = 0.22,圆盘椭圆率的中值γ = 0.08。

英文摘要:

We analyze the absolute magnitude (M_r) and color (u-r) of low redshift (z<0.06) galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6. galaxies with nearly exponential profiles (Sloan parameter fracDeV < 0.1) fall on the blue sequence of the color - magnitude diagram; if, in addition, these exponential galaxies have M_r < -19, they show a dependence of u-r color on apparent axis ratio q expected for a dusty disk galaxy. By fitting luminosity functions for exponential galaxies with different values of q, we find that the dimming is well described by the relation Delta M_r = 1.27 (log q)^2, rather than the Delta M = C log q law that is frequently assumed. When the absolute magnitudes of bright exponential galaxies are corrected to their "face-on" value, M_r^f = M_r - Delta M_r, the average u-r color is linearly dependent on M_r^f for a given value of q. Nearly face-on exponential galaxies (q > 0.9) have a shallow dependence of mean u-r color on M_r^f (0.096 magnitudes redder for every magnitude brighter). By comparison, nearly edge-on exponential galaxies (q < 0.3) are 0.265 magnitudes redder for every magnitude brighter. When the dimming law Delta M = 1.27 (log q)^2 is used to create an inclination-corrected sample of bright exponential galaxies, their apparent shapes are confirmed to be consistent with a distribution of mildly non-circular disks, with median short-to-long axis ratio gamma = 0.22 and median disk ellipticity epsilon = 0.08.
