附近的螺旋从蓝色序列迁移到红色序列:是AGN反馈还是环境影响?

The migration of nearby spirals from the blue to red sequence: AGN feedback or environmental effects?

T. M. Hughes, L. Cortese

摘要:

我们结合紫外到近红外测光和HI 21 cm线观测,对不同环境中的邻近星系(从孤立星系到室女星系团成员)的完整体积有限样本进行了研究,以研究螺旋从蓝色到红色序列的迁移。虽然我们的分析证实,在两个序列之间的过渡区,一个高比例的螺旋主机活动星系核(AGN),它清楚地表明,淬火恒星形成的晚型主要是HI缺乏星系优先发现的室女星系团。这不仅表明环境效应可能在驱动本地星系从蓝色序列迁移中发挥重要作用,而且还意味着活动星系核反馈和猝灭之间的物理联系可能无法从核活动和颜色之间的相关性中假设。

英文摘要:

We combine ultraviolet to near-infrared photometry with HI 21cm line observations for a complete volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies in different environments (from isolated galaxies to Virgo cluster members), to study the migration of spirals from the blue to the red sequence. Although our analysis confirms that, in the transition region between the two sequences, a high fraction of spirals host active galactic nuclei (AGN), it clearly shows that late-types with quenched star formation are mainly HI deficient galaxies preferentially found in the Virgo cluster. This not only suggests that environmental effects could play a significant role in driving the migration of local galaxies from the blue sequence, but it also implies that a physical link between AGN feedback and quenching may not be assumed from a correlation between nuclear activity and colour.
