具有非典型质光比的旋涡星系

Spiral galaxies with non-typical mass-to-light ratios

A. S. Saburova, E. S. Shaldenkova, A. V. Zasov

摘要:

S 0- Irr星系的总质光比M/L_B(M为光学半径R_25内的动力学质量)随(B-V)_0色的增加而系统地增加,但比恒星星族演化模型预测的要慢。结果表明,暗晕与恒星质量的平均比值随“蓝”星系数的增加而增大。然而,有些星系并不遵循这一总体趋势。比较了M/L_B比值极高和极低值星系的性质,分析了导致极端值的各种因素。结论是,在某些情况下,过高或过低的M/L_B比与观测误差有关,在其他情况下,与非典型的暗晕质量分数或盘恒星星族的特殊性有关。特别是一些低M/L_B比的星系盘,其光度和颜色都异常“轻”,这表明低M/L_B比的最可能原因是低质量恒星的大量缺乏。

英文摘要:

Total mass-to-light ratio M/L_B for S0 - Irr galaxies, where M is the dynamical mass within the optical radius R_25, increases systematically with (B-V)_0 color, but slower than that is predicted by stellar population evolution models. It shows that the mean ratio between dark halo and stellar masses is higher for more "blue" galaxies. However some galaxies don't follow this general trend. The properties of galaxies with extremely high and extremely low values of M/L_B ratios are compared, and different factors, accounting for the extremes, are analyzed. The conclusion is that in some cases too high or too low M/L_B ratios are associated with observational errors, in other cases - with non-typical dark halo mass fraction, or with peculiarities of disc stellar population. Particularly, discs of some galaxies with low M/L_B ratios turn out to be unusually "light" for their luminosity and colors, which indicates a substantial deficit of low mass stars as the most probable cause of low M/L_B.
