摘要:

(缩写)本文给出了三个早期型螺旋星系(NGC 3351、NGC 2903和NGC 3310)中的环核恒星形成区(CNSFR)的高分辨(R~20000)光谱,它使我们能够研究这些结构中恒星和电离气体的运动学,并首次导出了前两个结构的动力学质量。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。恒星色散是由钙三线态(CaT)在$λλ$ 8494,8542,8662的谱线得到的,而气体速度色散是由高色散谱上H $β$和[OIII] $λλ$ 5007谱线的高斯拟合得到的。恒星速度色散的值在30和68公里/秒之间。我们应用维里定理来估计动态质量的集群,假设系统的引力有界和球对称,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数量级为10 $^7$到10 $^8$太阳质量的整个CNSFR。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] $λλ$ 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,在某些情况下甚至更大。我们已经发现的迹象存在两个不同的运动学成分的电离气体的地区.

英文摘要:

(Abbr.) We present high resolution (R~20000) spectra in the blue and the far red of cicumnuclear star-forming regions (CNSFRs) in three early type spirals (NGC3351, NGC2903 and NGC3310) which have allowed the study of the kinematics of stars and ionized gas in these structures and, for the first time, the derivation of their dynamical masses for the first two. 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. The stellar dispersions have been obtained from the Calcium triplet (CaT) lines at $λλ$ 8494,8542,8662 Å, while the gas velocity dispersions have been measured by Gaussian fits to the H$β$ and [OIII] $λλ$ 5007 Ålines on the high dispersion spectra. Values of the stellar velocity dispersions are between 30 and 68 km/s. We apply 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. 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] $λλ$ 5007 Ålines. The twice ionized oxygen, on the other hand, shows velocity dispersions comparable to those shown by stars, in some cases, even larger. We have found indications of the presence of two different kinematical components in the ionized gas of the regions...
