星际消光与银河系中心的长周期变星

Interstellar Extinction and Long-Period Variables in the Galactic Center

摘要:

我们使用银河中心(GC)点源的斯皮策IRAC星表(Ramirez et al. 2008),并将其与新的等时线(Marigo et al. 2008)相结合,以红巨星和渐近巨星分支(AGB)恒星的测光为基础推导出修正。这张新的灭绝图延伸到比以前更高的Av值。我们新的GC区域灭绝图覆盖2.0 x 1.4度(280 x 200 pc,距离8 kpc)。我们将其应用于对Glass等人(2001)在GC附近发现的LPV进行去红化。我们制作了周期-震级图,并将其与其他不同金属丰度地区的周期-震级图进行了比较。在3.6、4.5、5.8和8.0微米处的IRAC滤波器波段中,Glass-LPV遵循定义良好的周期-光度关系(PL)。周期-光度关系与大麦云云的周期-光度关系相似,表明IRAC带的PL关系具有普遍性。我们使用ISOGAL数据来推导质量损失率,并发现玻璃-LPV样品的质量损失和脉动周期之间的一些相关性,如理论上预期的那样。GC具有过量的高光度和长周期LPV相比,隆起,这支持了以前的建议,它包含一个年轻的恒星星族。

英文摘要:

We use the Spitzer IRAC catalogue of the Galactic Center (GC) point sources (Ramirez et al. 2008) and combine it with new isochrones (Marigo et al. 2008) to derive extinctions based on photometry of red giants and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. This new extinction map extends to much higher values of Av than previoulsy available. Our new extinction map of the GC region covers 2.0 x 1.4 degree (280 x 200 pc at a distance of 8 kpc). We apply it to deredden the LPVs found by Glass et al. (2001) near the GC. We make period-magnitude diagrams and compare them to those from other regions of different metallicity. The Glass-LPVs follow well-defined period-luminosity relations (PL) in the IRAC filter bands at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron. The period-luminosity relations are similar to those in the Large Magellanic Cloud, suggesting that the PL relation in the IRAC bands is universal. We use ISOGAL data to derive mass-loss rates and find for the Glass-LPV sample some correlation between mass-loss and pulsation period, as expected theoretically.The GC has an excess of high luminosity and long period LPVs compared to the Bulge, which supports previous suggestions that it contains a younger stellar population.
