摘要:

我们目前的GMOS点头和洗牌的GRB 051022的主机上的双子座南和NIRSPEC凯克II的光谱。我们使用R23方法(Kobulnicky & Kewley 2004标度)确定了log(O/H)+12 = 8.77的宿主金属丰度,使其成为迄今为止观察到的最高金属丰度长爆发宿主。这个星系本身对于静止帧B带绝对星等为-21.5的LGRB宿主来说是异常明亮的,并且具有快速恒星形成星系的光谱。我们的工作提出了一个问题,即其他暗爆发宿主是否会显示出高金属丰度。

英文摘要:

We present spectroscopy of the host of GRB 051022 with GMOS nod and shuffle on Gemini South and NIRSPEC on Keck II. We determine a metallicity for the host of log(O/H)+12 = 8.77 using the R23 method (Kobulnicky & Kewley 2004 scale) making this the highest metallicity long burst host yet observed. The galaxy itself is unusually luminous for a LGRB host with a rest frame B band absolute magnitude -21.5 and has the spectrum of a rapidly star-forming galaxy. Our work raises the question of whether other dark burst hosts will show high metallicities.
