根据光学光谱观测的星系恒星星族生态学
Ecology of galaxy stellar populations from optical spectroscopic surveys
摘要:
现今星系中恒星的年龄和化学成分为恒星的形成过程提供了重要的线索。最新一代的人口合成模型,使低红移星系的大样本的年龄和恒星金属丰度的估计。在回顾了关于年龄和金属丰度分布作为星系质量函数的主要结果之后,我将专注于最近的分析,旨在解开恒星星族属性对环境和星系恒星质量的依赖关系。最后,预测全光谱对[α/Fe]变化的响应的新模型将使我们能够获得元素丰度比的准确估计,并更深入地了解恒星形成停止的时间尺度。
英文摘要:
The age and chemical composition of the stars in present-day galaxies carry important clues about their star formation processes. The latest generation of population synthesis models have allowed to derive age and stellar metallicity estimates for large samples of low-redshift galaxies. After reviewing the main results about the distribution in ages and metallicities as a function of galaxy mass, I will concentrate on recent analysis that aims at disentangling the dependences of stellar populations properties on environment and on galaxy stellar mass. Finally, new models that predict the response of the full spectrum to variations in [alpha/Fe] will allow us to derive accurate estimates of element abundance ratios and gain deeper insight into the timescales of star formation cessation.
