摘要:

我们提出了一个全面的研究的SDSS星系的性质分为各种类别的基础上,它们的形态,颜色和光谱特征。SDSS星系被分为早期型和晚期型;红色和蓝色;被动,HII,Seyfert和LINER,共返回16个精细的星系类别。我们研究了每一类星系的七个物理参数的光度依赖性。我们发现,超过一半的红色早型星系(REG)有恒星形成或活动星系核的活动,这些活跃的REG具有较小的轴比和蓝色的被动REG相比。蓝色早型星系(BEGs)显示出与REG相似的结构特征,但它们的中心比REG更蓝。发现HII BEG具有比被动BEG更蓝的中心,但是HII REG具有比被动REG更蓝的外部。膨胀主导的晚型星系有红色。被动红色晚类型在几个方面与REG相似。大多数蓝色晚型星系(BLG)都有正在形成的恒星,但有一小部分BLG没有显示出当前恒星形成活动的证据。考察了不同类间其它物理参数的差异,并讨论了它们对星系演化的意义。

英文摘要:

We present a comprehensive study of the nature of the SDSS galaxies divided into various classes based on their morphology, colour, and spectral features. The SDSS galaxies are classified into early-type and late-type; red and blue; passive, HII, Seyfert, and LINER, returning a total of 16 fine classes of galaxies. We examine the luminosity dependence of seven physical parameters of galaxies in each class. We find that more than half of red early-type galaxies (REGs) have star formation or AGN activity, and that these active REGs have smaller axis ratio and bluer outside compared to the passive REGs. Blue early-type galaxies (BEGs) show structural features similar to those of REGs, but their centres are bluer than REGs. HII BEGs are found to have bluer centres than passive BEGs, but HII REGs have bluer outside than passive REGs. Bulge-dominated late-type galaxies have red colours. Passive red late-types are similar to REGs in several aspects. Most blue late-type galaxies (BLGs) have forming stars, but a small fraction of BLGs do not show evidence for current star formation activity. Differences of other physical parameters among different classes are inspected, and their implication on galaxy evolution is discussed.
