早型星系中恒星形成的核周区

Circumnuclear Regions of Star Formation in Early Type Galaxies

Angeles I. Diaz, Elena Terlevich, Guillermo F. Hagele, Marcelo Castellanos

摘要:

环核恒星形成区(英语:circumnuclear star forming regions),也被称为热点,经常在一些旋涡星系的内部区域发现,那里正在发生激烈的恒星形成过程。在紫外线,大质量的恒星占主导地位的观测到的环核发射,即使在存在一个活跃的核,贡献30和50%之间的H $β$总排放的核区。本文给出了中等分辨率(3000 < R < 11000)的分光光度数据,从中导出了电离气体的物理性质:电子密度、氧丰度、电离结构等。

英文摘要:

Circumnuclear star forming regions, also called hotspots, are often found in the inner regions of some spiral galaxies where intense processes of star formation are taking place. In the UV, massive stars dominate the observed circumnuclear emission even in the presence of an active nucleus, contributing between 30 and 50% to the H$β$ total emission of the nuclear zone. Spectrophotometric data of moderate resolution (3000 < R < 11000) are presented from which the physical properties of the ionized gas: electron density, oxygen abundances, ionization structure etc. have been derived.
