摘要:

我们目前的线强度测量74早型星系的后发座星系团的核心达到速度分散,西格玛,30公里/秒。我们样本的指数-sigma关系,包括sigma<100 km/s(低sigma)的星系,根据使用的指数而在形状上有所不同。我们注意到两种类型的金属指数的关系:一个显示在约100公里/秒的斜率的休息,和另一组指数和对数西格玛之间的强线性关系。我们没有发现之间的行为的指数西格玛关系与α或铁峰元素。然而,我们发现的迹象表明,不依赖于恒星大气的微湍流速度的指数的关系更紧密。我们证实了以前的结果,包括dE/dS 0 s的低西格玛星系平均年轻,金属含量较低,与E/S 0 s相比,[alpha/Fe]较低。我们的数据表明,这些趋势来自高西格玛星系延伸到dE/dS 0 s。这是一个因素的~2低西格玛比以前发表的工作。我们证实,所观察到的年龄和金属丰度之间的反相关性高西格玛星系是一致的相关误差的影响。由于相关误差的存在,低西格玛星系的年龄和金属丰度之间也表现出类似的关系。然而,它们与这种关系相抵消,因此平均而言,它们的金属含量较低,并且比高σ对应物更年轻。

英文摘要:

We present line-strength measurements for 74 early-type galaxies in the core of the Coma cluster reaching down to velocity dispersions, sigma, of 30 km/s. The index-sigma relations for our sample, including galaxies with sigma<100 km/s (low-sigma), differ in shape depending on which index is used. We notice two types of relations for the metallic indices: one showing a break in the slope around ~100 km/s, and another group with strong linear relations between an index and log sigma. We find no connection between the behavior of index-sigma relations with either alpha- or Fe-peak elements. However, we find indications that the relations are tighter for indices which do not depend on the micro-turbulent velocities of stellar atmospheres. We confirm previous results that low-sigma galaxies including dE/dS0s are on average younger, less metal rich, and have lower [alpha/Fe] in comparison to E/S0s. Our data show that these trends derived for high-sigma galaxies extend down to dE/dS0s. This is a factor of ~2 lower in sigma than previously published work. We confirm that the observed anti-correlation between age and metallicity for high-sigma galaxies is consistent with the effects of correlated errors. Low-sigma galaxies also show a similar relation between age and metallicity as a result of correlated errors. However, they are offset from this relationship so that, on average, they are less metal rich and younger than their high-sigma counterparts.
