Chemical abundances and gas content in disk galaxies: correlations with the $λ$ spin parameter

B. Cervantes-Sodi, X. Hernandez

摘要:

通过使用一个非常简单和通用的模型来描述盘星系的动力学,我们估计的$λ$自旋参数的样本观测星系和目前的研究中,我们表明,几个重要的物理性质是内在相关的系统的动力学。虽然平均金属丰度与星等或哈勃类型之间的相关性是显而易见的,我们得到同样强的相关性与自旋参数,低$λ$值的星系呈现较高的丰度和星系高$λ$值是穷人的金属。此外,气体含量的星系与$λ$,与高$λ$系统显示出更高的气体质量分数比低$λ$星系,突出了重要的作用,这个参数在盘状星系的结构和建议的$λ$作为一个强大的和客观的物理措施的星系形态。

英文摘要:

By using a very simple and general model to describe the dynamics of disk galaxies, we estimate the $λ$ spin parameter for a sample of observed galaxies and present a study in which we show that several important physical properties are intrinsically related to the dynamics of the systems. Although correlations between average metallicity with magnitude or Hubble type are evident, we obtain equally strong correlations with the spin parameter, where galaxies with low $λ$ values present higher abundances and galaxies with high $λ$ values are poor in metals. Also, the gas content of the galaxies correlates with $λ$, with high $λ$ systems showing higher gas mass fractions than low $λ$ galaxies, highlighting the important role this parameter plays in the structure of disk galaxies and the proposal of $λ$ as a robust and objective physical measure of galactic morphology.
