银河系恒星棒的长期演化和结构特征

Secular Evolution and Structural Properties of Stellar Bars in Galaxies

Dimitri A. Gadotti

摘要:

我目前的结果从近300棒星系在本地宇宙中的恒星酒吧通过参数多分量多波段图像拟合建模。使用Sersic函数描述棒的表面亮度径向轮廓,并且确定诸如棒有效半径、椭圆率、箱形度、长度和质量以及棒与总亮度和质量比等参数,这对于这种尺寸的样品是前所未有的。比较了经典星系球和伪星系球中棒的性质。对于一个固定的酒吧总质量比,伪凸起平均显着小于经典的凸起,这表明,如果伪凸起是通过酒吧形成,进一步的过程是必要的,以建立一个经典的凸起。我找到了一个相关的酒吧椭圆度和boxiness,并定义了一个新的参数作为这两个数量的产品。我还发现这个产品和标准化酒吧大小之间的相关性,酒吧和凸起的大小之间,以及标准化酒吧大小和凸起总比之间。在后两种相关性中,具有不同椭圆度的柱遵循平行线。如果从不同的标准化大小和椭圆度开始,由于星系内部到外部的角动量交换,随着动力学年龄的增长,棒变得更长更强,这些相关性就会出现,这与以前的理论预测一致。一个合理的结果是,酒吧模式的速度应成为酒吧动力学年龄较低,并朝着星系更突出的凸起。

英文摘要:

I present results from the modeling of stellar bars in nearly 300 barred galaxies in the local universe through parametric multi-component multi-band image fitting. The surface brightness radial profile of bars is described using a Sersic function, and parameters such as bar effective radius, ellipticity, boxiness, length and mass, and bar-to-total luminosity and mass ratios, are determined, which is unprecedented for a sample of this size. The properties of bars in galaxies with classical bulges and pseudo-bulges are compared. For a fixed bar-to-total mass ratio, pseudo-bulges are on average significantly less massive than classical bulges, indicating that, if pseudo-bulges are formed through bars, further processes are necessary to build a classical bulge. I find a correlation between bar ellipticity and boxiness, and define a new parameter as the product of these two quantities. I also find correlations between this product and normalised bar size, between the sizes of bars and bulges, and between normalised bar size and bulge-to-total ratio. Bars with different ellipticities follow parallel lines in the latter two correlations. These correlations can arise if, starting off with different normalised sizes and ellipticities, bars grow longer and stronger with dynamical age, as a result of angular momentum exchange from the inner to the outer parts of galaxies, consistent with previous theoretical predictions. A plausible consequence is that bar pattern speeds should become lower with bar dynamical age, and towards galaxies with more prominent bulges.
