球状星团质量与光度函数的关系

The Relation Between the Globular Cluster Mass and Luminosity Functions

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Simon F. Portegies Zwart

摘要:

本文讨论了球状星团光度函数(GCLF,dN/dlogL)与球状星团质量函数(GCMF,dN/dlogM)之间的关系。由于低质量恒星的消耗,溶解GC的质量与光(M/L)比低于其金属丰度的预期。这已被证明导致M/L比随着GC质量和光度而增加。我们对GCLF和GCMF进行了建模,并表明当考虑M/L的变异性时,幂律斜率固有地不同(分别为1.0和0.7)。观察到的GCLF被发现是一致的Schechter型初始集群质量函数和质量依赖的质量损失率。

英文摘要:

The relation between the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF, dN/dlogL) and globular cluster mass function (GCMF, dN/dlogM) is considered. Due to low-mass star depletion, dissolving GCs have mass-to-light (M/L) ratios that are lower than expected from their metallicities. This has been shown to lead to an M/L ratio that increases with GC mass and luminosity. We model the GCLF and GCMF and show that the power law slopes inherently differ (1.0 versus 0.7, respectively) when accounting for the variability of M/L. The observed GCLF is found to be consistent with a Schechter-type initial cluster mass function and a mass-dependent mass-loss rate.
