摘要:

超巨星是在最高的HRD中从蓝色过渡到红色(反之亦然)的物体。它们是在可见光下本质上最亮的“正常”恒星,绝对视星等高达-9。它们是研究本星系群以外星系中年轻恒星星族的理想选择,可以确定化学成分和演化、星际灭绝、红化规律和距离。我们讨论了最新的结果,定量光谱分析的这些对象在星系以外的本集团的基础上获得的ESO VLT和凯克的中,低分辨率光谱。介绍了分析方法,包括金属丰度和金属丰度梯度的测定。提出了一种基于恒星重力和有效温度的精确测量河外距离的新方法--通量加权重光关系(FGLR)。FGLR是一种纯粹的光谱方法,它克服了星际消光和金属丰度变化带来的不确定性,这些不确定性困扰着所有光度恒星距离测定方法。我们讨论了未来工作的前景,使用巨大的地面望远镜的下一代,如TMT,GMT和E-ELT。

英文摘要:

A supergiants are objects in transition from the blue to the red (and vice versa) in the uppermost HRD. They are the intrinsically brightest "normal" stars at visual light with absolute visual magnitudes up to -9. They are ideal to study young stellar populations in galaxies beyond the Local Group to determine chemical composition and evolution, interstellar extinction, reddening laws and distances. We discuss most recent results on the quantitative spectral analysis of such objects in galaxies beyond the Local Group based on medium and low resolution spectra obtained with the ESO VLT and Keck. We describe the analysis method including the determination of metallicity and metallicity gradients. A new method to measure accurate extragalactic distances based on the stellar gravities and effective temperatures is presented, the flux weighted gravity - luminosity relationship (FGLR). The FGLR is a purely spectroscopic method, which overcomes the untertainties introduced by interstellar extinction and variations of metallicity, which plague all photometric stellar distance determination methods. We discuss the perspectives of future work using the giant ground-based telescopes of the next generation such as the TMT, the GMT and the E-ELT.
