合并诱导的球状星团形成与星系演化

Merger Induced Globular Cluster Formation and Galaxy Evolution

F. D. A. Hartwick

摘要:

在Gunn和McCrea早期工作的基础上,我们模拟了合并星系中球状星团的形成。中性氢观测的矮不规则星系以及更明亮的系统被用来提供模型的关键参数。观测结果表明,具有球状星团质量的星团今天应该仍然在形成。该模型被纳入一个星系演化的现象学图片利用一个简单的化学演化模型。这些结果进行了比较,最近的观测的金属丰度分布的F和G星从最近的大型SDSS调查。这些比较与银河系形成过程中大量矮不规则星系的各向异性坍缩和合并是一致的。

英文摘要:

Based on the earlier work of Gunn and McCrea we model the formation of globular clusters in merging galaxies. Neutral hydrogen observations of dwarf irregular galaxies as well as more luminous systems are used to provide the key parameters of the model. The observations indicate that clusters with the mass of globular clusters should still be forming today. The model is incorporated into a phenomenological picture of galaxy evolution making use of a simple chemical evolution model. These results are compared to recent observations of the metallicity distributions of F and G stars from a recent large SDSS survey. The comparisons are consistent with an anisotropic collapse and merging of a large number of dwarf irregular galaxies for the formation of the Galaxy.
