恒星与椭圆星系中热气的Abbred比:化学演化模拟者的观点

Abundance Ratios in Stars vs. Hot Gas in Elliptical Galaxies: the Chemical Evolution Modeller Point of View

A. Pipino

摘要:

我将从化学演化模型中提出预测,旨在对当今椭圆星系的光学(即恒星)和X射线(即气体)性质进行自洽研究。详细的冷却和加热过程中的星际介质(ISM)考虑到,并允许一个可靠的模拟SN驱动的星系风。事实上,超新星Ia活动可能会在相当长的银河系寿命中持续为银河风提供动力,即使在每个超新星Ia事件的能量转移到ISM的效率小于1的情况下。通过采用Pipino & Matteucci(2004)对气体下降和恒星形成时标的描述,该模型同时再现了质量-金属丰度、颜色-星等、L_X-L_B和L_X-T关系,以及观测到的[Mg/Fe]比随σ的变化趋势。“铁差异”,即与观测结果相比,椭圆星系X射线晕中预测的铁丰度过高,可以通过考虑尘埃的存在来解决。我将对ISM中的几个丰度比进行预测,并将其与最近的观测结果进行比较。

英文摘要:

I will present predictions from chemical evolution model aimed at a self-consistent study of both optical (i.e. stellar) and X-ray (i.e.gas) properties of present-day elliptical galaxies. Detailed cooling and heating processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) are taken into and allow a reliable modelling of the SN-driven galactic wind. SNe Ia activity, in fact, may power a galactic wind lasting for a considerable amount of the galactic lifetime, even in the case for which the efficiency of energy transfer into the ISM per SN Ia event is less than unity. The model simultaneously reproduces the mass-metallicity, the colour-magnitude, the L_X - L_B and the L_X - T relations, as well as the observed trend of the [Mg/Fe] ratio as a function of sigma, by adopting the prescriptions of Pipino & Matteucci (2004) for the gas infall and star formation timescales. The "iron discrepancy", namely the too high predicted iron abundance in X-ray haloes of ellipticals compared to observations, can be solved by taking into account the existence of dust. I will make predictions on several abundance ratios in the ISM and compare them with the most recent observations.
