摘要:

差分K波段光度函数(LF)的完整样本的1613个附近的明亮星系分离的可见形态。晚型螺旋的LF遵循幂律,在低光度时上升,而椭圆形、椭圆形和膨胀主导的螺旋的LF在高光度和低光度时都达到峰值并下降。每种形态类型(E,S 0,S 0/a-Sab,Sb-Sbc,Sc-Scd)对局部宇宙中星系的整体K波段光度密度的贡献大致相等。类型平均的凸起/磁盘的比率被用来减去磁盘组件导致的预测,K-波段LF的凸起是双峰与椭圆形为主的高光度峰值,包括60%的凸起光度密度在本地宇宙与其余40%的贡献由望远镜和螺旋的凸起。总的来说,在局部宇宙中,膨胀贡献了K处星系光度密度的30%,螺旋盘构成了其余部分。如果隆起光度指示中心黑洞质量,那么我们的结果预测,黑洞质量函数也是双峰的。

英文摘要:

Differential K-band luminosity functions (LFs) are presented for a complete sample of 1613 nearby bright galaxies segregated by visible morphology. The LF for late-type spirals follows a power law that rises towards low luminosities whereas the LFs for ellipticals, lenticulars and bulge-dominated spirals are peaked and decline toward both higher and lower luminosities. Each morphological type (E, S0, S0/a-Sab, Sb-Sbc, Sc-Scd) contributes approximately equally to the overall K-band luminosity density of galaxies in the local universe. Type averaged bulge/disk ratios are used to subtract the disk component leading to the prediction that the K-band LF for bulges is bimodal with ellipticals dominating the high luminosity peak, comprising 60% of the bulge luminosity density in the local universe with the remaining 40% contributed by lenticulars and the bulges of spirals. Overall, bulges contribute 30% of the galaxy luminosity density at K in the local universe with spiral disks making up the remainder. If bulge luminosities indicate central black hole masses, then our results predict that the black hole mass function is also bimodal.
