在室女座星系团螺旋星系NGC 4388中，冲压压力导致恒星形成停止。分光光度数据的联合反演
Pinning down the ram-pressure-induced halt of star formation in the Virgo cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4388. A joint inversion of spectroscopic and photometric data
摘要：
在一个星系团中，旋涡星系的演化取决于它们的星系团环境。由于螺旋星系在炽热的团内介质中的快速运动而产生的冲压压力将星系的星际介质从外盘中移走。一旦气体离开了圆盘，恒星的形成就停止了。恒星星族的被动演化应该可以用光谱学和多波长光度学来探测。我们的研究目标是恢复处女座旋涡星系NGC 4388的剥离年龄，即从停止恒星形成的外星系盘使用的光谱和光度学的组合分析经过的时间。我们对NGC 4388的内部恒星形成和外部无气体盘进行了VLT FORS 2长缝光谱学。我们开发了一种非参数反演工具，使我们能够从光谱学和光度学重建星系的恒星形成历史。使用蒙特卡罗模拟在一系列模拟数据上测试该工具。通过应用参数反演方法对非参数反演的结果进行了改进。未受扰动的银盘的恒星形成历史是平坦的。非参数方法得出的结论是，在200万年前，外盘的恒星形成迅速减少。参数方法不能区分瞬时和长期恒星形成截断。恒星形成的时间比剥离前的值下降了两倍，为1.9亿+-3000万年。我们能够给出一个精确的剥离年龄，是符合修订后的动力学模型。
英文摘要：
In a galaxy cluster, the evolution of spiral galaxies depends on their cluster environment. Ram pressure due to the rapid motion of a spiral galaxy within the hot intracluster medium removes the galaxy's interstellar medium from the outer disk. Once the gas has left the disk, star formation stops. The passive evolution of the stellar populations should be detectable in optical spectroscopy and multi-wavelength photometry. The goal of our study is to recover the stripping age of the Virgo spiral galaxy NGC 4388, i.e. the time elapsed since the halt of star formation in the outer galactic disk using a combined analysis of optical spectra and photometry. We performed VLT FORS2 long-slit spectroscopy of the inner star-forming and outer gas-free disk of NGC 4388. We developed a non-parametric inversion tool that allows us to reconstruct the star formation history of a galaxy from spectroscopy and photometry. The tool was tested on a series of mock data using Monte Carlo simulations. The results from the non-parametric inversion were refined by applying a parametric inversion method. The star formation history of the unperturbed galactic disk is flat. The non-parametric method yields a rapid decline of star formation < 200 Myr ago in the outer disk. The parametric method is not able to distinguish between an instantaneous and a long-lasting star formation truncation. The time since the star formation has dropped by a factor of two from its pre-stripping value is 190 +- 30 Myr. We are able to give a precise stripping age that is consistent with revised dynamical models.
