星系团恒星形成的后果

Galactic consequences of clustered star formation

M. R. Haas, P. Anders

摘要:

如果所有的恒星都形成在星团中,并且恒星和星团都遵循有利于产生低质量物体的幂律分布,那么众多的低质量星团将缺乏高质量恒星。因此,恒星的质量函数,在整个星系上的积分(积分银河系初始质量函数,IGIMF)将在高质量端比恒星的基本IMF更陡峭。我们展示了IGIMF的陡度如何取决于采样方法和星团质量函数的假设。我们还调查了O-星的内容,综合光度和化学富集的星系,结果从几个IGIMF相比,更标准的IMF。

英文摘要:

If all stars form in clusters and both the stars and the clusters follow a power law distribution which favours the creation of low mass objects, then the numerous low mass clusters will be deficient in high mass stars. Therefore, the mass function of stars, integrated over the whole galaxy (the Integrated Galactic Initial Mass Function, IGIMF) will be steeper at the high mass end than the underlying IMF of the stars. We show how the steepness of the IGIMF depends on the sampling method and on the assumptions made for the star cluster mass function. We also investigate the O-star content, integrated photometry and chemical enrichment of galaxies that result from several IGIMFs, as compared to more standard IMFs.
