摘要:

本文对星系对AM 2306 -721的运动学、恒星星族和各组成部分丰度的相互作用进行了观测研究。获得了主星系和伴星系的旋转曲线,显示出分别为175 km/s和185 km/s的解投影速度振幅。主星系和伴星系之间的相互作用是用数值N体/流体动力学模拟来模拟的,结果表明,目前的合并阶段将在近银河系之后大约2.5亿年。通过拟合不同年龄组的恒星星族模型组合,分析了两个星系中恒星星族组分分布的空间变化。主星系的中心区域主要是由一个老的(5-10 Gyr)人口,而年轻的(2亿年)和中间(1 Gyr)组件的显着贡献被发现在磁盘中,被增强的潮汐功能的方向。伴星星系的恒星星族总体上要年轻得多,主要由1 Gyr或更少的成分组成,相当广泛地分布在整个盘上。氧丰度的空间分布是从使用R23线比的光电离模型的网格获得的。主星系的盘显示出明显的径向梯度,而伴星系则呈现出相对均匀的氧丰度。次级星系中丰度梯度的缺失被解释为由于与更大质量的主星系的引力相互作用,从星系外部到星系中心的气体流的混合。

英文摘要:

We present an observational study about the effects of the interactions in the kinematics, stellar population and abundances of the components of the galaxy pair AM2306-721. Rotation curves for the main and companion galaxies were obtained, showing a deprojected velocity amplitude of 175 km/s and 185 km/s, respectively. The interaction between the main and companion galaxies was modeled using numerical N-body/hydrodynamical simulations, with the result indicating that the current stage of the merger would be about 250 Myr after perigalacticum. The spatial variation in the distribution of the stellar population components in both galaxies was analysed by fitting combinations of stellar population models of different age groups. The central region of main galaxy is dominated by an old (5-10 Gyr) population, while significant contributions from a young (200 Myr) and intermediate (1 Gyr) components are found in the disk, being enhanced in the direction of the tidal features. The stellar population of the companion galaxy is overall much younger, being dominated by components with 1 Gyr or less, quite widely spread over the whole disk. Spatial profiles of the oxygen abundance were obtained from the a grid of photoionization models using the R23 line ratio. The disk of the main galaxy shows a clear radial gradient, while the companion galaxy presents an oxygen abundance relatively homogeneous across the disk. The absence of an abundance gradient in the secondary galaxy is interpreted in terms of mixing by gas flows from the outer parts to the center of the galaxy due to the gravitational interaction with the more massive primary.
