使用VESPA的斯隆数字巡天的恒星质量、恒星形成和金属量历史以及尘埃含量的公开目录

A public catalogue of stellar masses, star formation and metallicity histories and dust content from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using VESPA

摘要:

我们将VESPA算法应用于斯隆数字巡天的主星系和发光红星系样本的最终数据发布。结果是一个恒星质量目录,详细的恒星形成和金属丰度历史以及近80万个星系的尘埃含量。我们通过T-SQL数据库将目录公开,本文对此进行了详细描述。我们目前的结果使用一系列的恒星星族和尘埃模型,并将继续更新目录作为新的和改进的模型公布。数据和文档目前已在线,可在http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/vespa/上找到。我们还提出了一个简短的探索的目录,并表明,得出的数量是强大的:发光的红色星系可以描述的一到三个人口,而一个主要的星系样本星系平均需要两到五个;红色星系是老年人,少尘埃;我们恢复的尘埃值是很好的相关性与测量的巴耳末递减率和恒星形成率也与以前的测量。

英文摘要:

We applied the VESPA algorithm to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey final data release of the Main Galaxies and Luminous Red Galaxies samples. The result is a catalogue of stellar masses, detailed star formation and metallicity histories and dust content of nearly 800,000 galaxies. We make the catalogue public via a T-SQL database, which is described in detail in this paper. We present the results using a range of stellar population and dust models, and will continue to update the catalogue as new and improved models are made public. The data and documentation are currently online, and can be found at http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/vespa/. We also present a brief exploration of the catalogue, and show that the quantities derived are robust: luminous red galaxies can be described by one to three populations, whereas a main galaxy sample galaxy needs on average two to five; red galaxies are older and less dusty; the dust values we recover are well correlated with measured Balmer decrements and star formation rates are also in agreement with previous measurements.
