摘要:

(缩写)本文对几种早期型螺旋星系中的环核恒星形成区(CNSFR)进行了研究,以探讨它们的主要性质:恒星和气体的运动学、动力学质量、电离恒星质量、化学丰度以及电离气体的其它性质。高分辨率(R $ \sim $ 20000)和中等分辨率(R ~ 5000)都已使用。在某些情况下,这些区域的大小约为100至150 pc,由几个单独的星团组成,其大小在哈勃太空望远镜(HST)图像估计的1.5至4.9 pc之间。恒星和气体的速度分散被发现有20至30公里/秒的H $β$的发射线比恒星线和[OIII] $λ$ 5007线窄。另一方面,两次电离的氧显示出与恒星相当的速度色散。我们已经应用维里定理来估计集群的动力学质量,假设系统是引力有界和球对称的,并使用以前测量的大小。恒星速度色散的测量值产生的动力学质量的顺序为10 $^7$到10 $^8$太阳质量的整个CNSFR。...

英文摘要:

(Abbr.) A study of cicumnuclear star-forming regions (CNSFRs) in several early type spirals has been made in order to investigate their main properties: stellar and gas kinematics, dynamical masses, ionising stellar masses, chemical abundances and other properties of the ionised gas. Both high resolution (R$ \sim $20000) and moderate resolution (R ~ 5000) have been used. In some cases these regions, about 100 to 150 pc in size, are seen to be composed of several individual star clusters with sizes between 1.5 and 4.9 pc estimated from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. Stellar and gas velocity dispersions are found to differ by about 20 to 30 km/s with the H$β$ emission lines being narrower than both the stellar lines and the [OIII] $λ$ 5007 Ålines. The twice ionized oxygen, on the other hand, shows velocity dispersions comparable to those shown by stars. We have applied the virial theorem to estimate dynamical masses of the clusters, assuming that systems are gravitationally bounded and spherically symmetric, and using previously measured sizes. The measured values of the stellar velocity dispersions yield dynamical masses of the order of 10$^7$ to 10$^8$ solar masses for the whole CNSFRs. ...
