摘要:

研究了S 0星系的光度标度关系,并与旋涡星系的光度标度关系进行了比较。本文给出了122个早型盘星系的新的二维K_s波段多分量分解。结合我们之前的分解,最终的样本由175个星系组成。作为比较样本,我们使用俄亥俄州立大学明亮的螺旋星系巡天(OSUBSGS),我们以前已经进行了类似的分解。我们的主要结果是:(1)存在重要的标度关系,表明在S 0中隆起和盘的形成过程是耦合的,就像以前在螺旋中发现的那样。(2)对S 0、S 0/a-Sa和Sab-Sc星系,我们得到了中值r_{eff} /h_r = 0.20、0.15和0.10:这些数值都小于星系合并所形成的凸起的模拟模型所预测的数值。(3)S 0 s星系核球的性质与椭圆星系不同,表现在测光平面上的M_K(bulge)与r_{eff}的关系,在一定程度上也表现在Kormendy关系上。S 0的膨胀与M_K(bulge)< -20 mag.的螺旋星系的膨胀相似,有些S 0具有较小的膨胀,但它们的性质与它们可能因星系的骚扰而演化为矮星的观点不一致. (4)S 0的相对膨胀通量B/T覆盖了哈勃序列中发现的整个范围。(5)NIRS 0 S中S 0星系盘的参数值和关系与OSUBSGS中旋涡星系盘的参数值和关系相似。总的来说,我们的研究结果支持这样的观点,即在K波段具有比-20等更亮的凸起的螺旋星系可以直接演变成S 0,这是由于气体剥离之后恒星形成被截断。

英文摘要:

Photometric scaling relations are studied for S0 galaxies and compared with those for spirals. New 2D K_s-band multi-component decompositions are presented for 122 early-type disk galaxies. Combining with our previous decompositions, the final sample consists of 175 galaxies. As a comparison sample we use the Ohio State University Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey (OSUBSGS), for which similar decompositions have previously been made by us. Our main results are: (1) Important scaling relations are present, indicating that the formative processes of bulges and disks in S0s are coupled like has been previously found for spirals. (2) We obtain median r_{eff}/h_r = 0.20, 0.15 and 0.10 for S0, S0/a-Sa and Sab-Sc galaxies: these are smaller than predicted by simulation models in which bulges are formed by galaxy mergers. (3) The properties of bulges of S0s are different from the elliptical galaxies, which is manifested in the M_K(bulge) vs r_{eff} relation, in the photometric plane, and to some extent also in the Kormendy relation. The bulges of S0s are similar to bulges of spirals with M_K(bulge) < -20 mag. Some S0s have small bulges, but their properties are not compatible with the idea that they could evolve to dwarfs by galaxy harassment. (4) The relative bulge flux B/T for S0s covers the full range found in the Hubble sequence. (5) The values and relations of the parameters of the disks of the S0 galaxies in NIRS0S are similar to those obtained for spirals in the OSUBSGS. Overall, our results support the view that spiral galaxies with bulges brighter than -20 mag in the K-band can evolve directly into S0s, due to stripping of gas followed by truncated star formation.
