晚型旋涡星系的性质:结构参数,光学和近红外色廓线,和尘埃消光

The nature of late-type spiral galaxies: structural parameters, optical and near-infrared colour profiles, and dust extinction

摘要:

本文分析了18个Sb-Sd星系的V带和H带表面光度学。结合高分辨率的HST图像与地面近红外观测,我们提取光度分布,覆盖整个磁盘,并提供尽可能高的分辨率。这是第一次测光研究晚型螺旋的恒星运动学已被测量。对于18个星系中的10个,F160 W(H)和F606 W(V)的HST数据都是可用的,并且,对于这些星系,我们以哈勃太空望远镜的分辨率提供彩色地图和径向彩色轮廓。星系之间的颜色差异很大,但每个星系内部的颜色都非常均匀,颜色轮廓平滑而平坦。一些彩色地图显示内部区域的跳跃,可能是由于灰尘。我们使用Ganda等人(2007)的V-H彩色图和SAURON Mg b吸收线图以几乎与模型无关的方式确定吸收图。这些图显示,A_V的范围为0 ~ 2等,中心为0 ~ 1.5等,与Tuffs等(2004)的模型一致。我们将表面亮度轮廓描述为指数盘和Sersic凸起的叠加。凸起很小(0.1-2.5 kpc),形状参数n范围从~ 0.7到3,平均值小于2:远低于“经典”德沃库勒凸起的值。大多数星系(18个中的16个)的中心光超过了与凸起的Sersic拟合,这可以被解释为核团,如以前的研究所示。我们提供零阶估计这些组件的大小。我们讨论了星系结构参数之间的相关性以及与其他相关量的相关性(略)。

英文摘要:

We analyse V and H-band surface photometry of a sample of 18 Sb-Sd galaxies. Combining high resolution HST images with ground-based NIR observations, we extract photometric profiles, which cover the whole disk and provide the highest possible resolution. This is the first photometric study of late-type spirals for which the stellar kinematics have been measured. For 10 out of the 18 galaxies, HST data in both F160W (H) and F606W (V) are available, and, for those, we present colour maps and radial colour profiles at the resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope. Colours vary significantly from galaxy to galaxy, but tend to be highly homogeneous within each galaxy, with smooth and flat colour profiles. Some of the colour maps show jumps in the inner regions, likely due to dust. We determine extinction-maps in an almost model-independent way using the V-H colour map and the SAURON Mg b absorption line map of Ganda et al. (2007). The maps show that A_V ranges from 0 to 2 mag, in the center from 0 to 1.5 mag, in agreement with the models of Tuffs et al. (2004). We describe the surface brightness profiles as the superposition of an exponential disk and a Sersic bulge. The bulges are small (0.1-2.5 kpc), and show a shape parameter n ranging from ~ 0.7 to 3, with a mean value smaller than two: well below the value for the 'classical' de Vaucouleurs bulges. Most galaxies (16 out of 18) show a central light excess above the Sersic fit to the bulge, which can be interpreted as a nuclear cluster, as shown by previous studies. We provide zero-order estimates for the magnitude of these components. We discuss the correlations among the structural galaxy parameters and with other relevant quantities (abridged).
