摘要:

我们首次证明,盘星系的气体晕可以发挥至关重要的作用,在回收富含金属的气体喷出的隆起,从而促进化学演化的磁盘。我们的数值模拟结果表明,当星系晕的平均密度(rho_ hg)高达10^{-5} cm^{-3}时,由于气体喷出物和气体晕之间的流体动力学相互作用,盘状星系中来自球壳的富金属星风可以吸积到薄盘上.通过恒星风从膨胀中喷射出来,然后吸积到盘上的气体总量主要取决于rho_ hg和恒星风的初速度。在一组合理的模型参数下,尺度长度为a_d的盘星系中约有1%的球状喷出物可以吸积到R ~ 2.5 a_ d的盘上。我们讨论了这些结果的背景下,令人惊讶的高金属丰度的太阳附近的星系盘星的起源。我们还讨论了这些结果对不同环境中rho_ hg可能不同的盘星系化学演化的影响。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate for the first time that gaseous halos of disk galaxies can play a vital role in recycling metal-rich gas ejected from the bulges and thus in promoting chemical evolution of disks. Our numerical simulations show that metal-rich stellar winds from bulges in disk galaxies can be accreted onto the thin disks owing to hydrodynamical interaction between the gaseous ejecta and the gaseous halos, if the mean densities of the halos (rho_ hg) are as high as 10^{-5} cm^{-3}. The total amount of gas that is ejected from a bulge through a stellar wind and then accreted onto the disk depends mainly on rho_ hg and the initial velocity of the stellar wind. About ~ 1% of gaseous ejecta from bulges in disk galaxies of scale length a_d can be accreted onto disks around R ~ 2.5 a_ d for a reasonable set of model parameters. We discuss these results in the context of the origin of the surprisingly high metallicities of the solar neighborhood disk stars in the Galaxy. We also discuss some implications of the present results in terms of chemical evolution of disk galaxies with possibly different rho_ hg in different galaxy environments.
