银河系球状星团的质光比

The Mass-to-Light Ratios of Galactic Globular Clusters

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Steffen Mieske

摘要:

观测到的球状星团(GC)的质光比(M/L)平均比简单恒星星族(SSP)模型的预期值低约20%,SSP模型只考虑了恒星演化的影响。我们研究的M/L比的演化的一个样本的24个银河系GC使用参数化集群模型。GC的动力学演化包括占其溶解和使用的恒星质量函数的演化的详细描述。低质量恒星的抛射导致M/L减小,这解释了观测与SSP模型之间的差异。

英文摘要:

The observed mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of globular clusters (GCs) are on average ~20% lower than expected from Simple Stellar Population (SSP) models, which only account for the effects of stellar evolution. We study the M/L ratio evolution of a sample of 24 Galactic GCs using parameterised cluster models. The dynamical evolution of GCs is included by accounting for their dissolution and by using a detailed description of the evolution of the stellar mass function. The ejection of low-mass stars leads to a decrease of M/L, which is found to explain the discrepancy between the observations and SSP models.
