摘要:

对从SDSS星系样本中提取的737个螺旋星系和透镜状星系进行了膨胀盘分解,并对其形态类型进行了估计。我们使用生长曲线拟合的方法进行鼓盘分解。结果发现,隆起的性质,有效半径,有效表面亮度,也绝对星等,系统地改变与形态序列;从早期到晚期的类型,尺寸变得有点大,表面亮度和光度变暗。相比之下,磁盘几乎是普遍的,它们的属性保持相似的盘星系之间的详细形态从S 0到Sc。虽然这些趋势经常在以前的研究中讨论,本研究证实了它们的基础上一个大的均匀的星等限制场星系样本的形态类型估计。因此,沿形态序列的隆起与总光度比($B/T$)的系统变化不是由盘引起的,而主要是由隆起引起的。椭圆星系和旋涡星系的核球不可能在一个序列中。我们推断出球状体的恒星质量密度(以临界质量密度为单位)为$Ω=$ 0.0021,即,椭圆星系加上螺旋星系的凸起,和$Ω=$ 0.00081的磁盘。

英文摘要:

A bulge-disk decomposition is made for 737 spiral and lenticular galaxies drawn from a SDSS galaxy sample for which morphological types are estimated. We carry out the bulge-disk decomposition using the growth curve fitting method. It is found that bulge properties, effective radius, effective surface brightness, and also absolute magnitude, change systematically with the morphological sequence; from early to late types, the size becomes somewhat larger, and surface brightness and luminosity fainter. In contrast disks are nearly universal, their properties remaining similar among disk galaxies irrespective of detailed morphologies from S0 to Sc. While these tendencies were often discussed in previous studies, the present study confirms them based on a large homogeneous magnitude-limited field galaxy sample with morphological types estimated. The systematic change of bulge-to-total luminosity ratio, $B/T$, along the morphological sequence is therefore not caused by disks but mostly by bulges. It is also shown that elliptical galaxies and bulges of spiral galaxies are unlikely to be in a single sequence. We infer the stellar mass density (in units of the critical mass density) to be $Ω=$0.0021 for spheroids, i.e., elliptical galaxies plus bulges of spiral galaxies, and $Ω=$0.00081 for disks.
