用Bulge-Disk-Bar分解约束星系演化

Constraining Galaxy Evolution With Bulge-Disk-Bar Decomposition

Tim Weinzirl, Shardha Jogee, Fabio D. Barazza

摘要:

星系的结构分解成球,盘,棒组件是重要的,以解决一些科学问题。测量球,磁盘和酒吧的结构参数将设置约束的暴力和长期的过程中的星系组装和经常性酒吧的形成和溶解模型。它还可以帮助量化无球星系(没有球或只有相对不重要的盘状伪球的系统)的比例和性质,这违背了星系形成的范式,几乎每个盘状星系都有一个经典的球在其核心。我们展示了一个概念的证明,并显示了我们正在进行的三个组件的膨胀磁盘酒吧分解的近红外图像的样本,三个互补的样本跨越不同的时代和不同的环境(字段和集群)的早期结果。与大多数早期的研究,只尝试两个组件的凸起磁盘分解,我们适合三个组件使用GALFIT:凸起,磁盘和酒吧。我们表明,它是重要的,包括酒吧的组成部分,因为这可以显着降低膨胀总光度比(B/T),在许多情况下,由两个或更多的因素,从而有效地改变了哈勃类型的星系从早到晚。

英文摘要:

Structural decomposition of galaxies into bulge, disk, and bar components is important to address a number of scientific problems. Measuring bulge, disk, and bar structural parameters will set constraints on the violent and secular processes of galaxy assembly and recurrent bar formation and dissolution models. It can also help to quantify the fraction and properties of bulgeless galaxies (those systems having no bulge or only a relatively insignificant disky-pseudobulges), which defy galaxy formation paradigms requiring almost every disk galaxy to have a classical bulge at its core. We demonstrate a proof of concept and show early results of our ongoing three-component bulge-disk-bar decomposition of NIR images for a sample of three complementary samples spanning different epochs and different environments (field and cluster). In contrast to most early studies, which only attempt two-component bulge-disk decomposition, we fit three components using GALFIT: a bulge, a disk, and a bar. We show that it is important to include the bar component, as this can significantly lower the bulge-to-total luminosity ratio (B/T), in many cases by a factor of two or more, thus effectively changing the Hubble type of a galaxy from early to late.
