从光谱和色星等图看KDG 61和KDG 64的恒星形成历史

Star formation history of KDG 61 and KDG 64 from spectroscopy and colour-magnitude diagrams

Lidia Makarova, Mina Koleva, Dmitry Makarov, Philippe Prugniel

摘要:

本文对邻近的M81星系群中的两个dE/dSph成员KDG 61和UGC 5442 = KDG 64进行了研究。利用哈勃空间望远镜(HST)的高级巡天照相机(ACS)图像和俄罗斯科学院特殊天体物理观测台6米望远镜的积分光谱,对恒星形成历史进行了定量分析。光谱图和色星等图分析给出了一致的结果。这些星系似乎是由一个古老的人口(12-14 Gyr)的低金属丰度([Fe/H]~-1.5)。在这两个星系中都发现了年龄在1到4 Gyr之间的恒星。后一个群体显示出边际金属富集。在这些星系中,我们没有检测到任何明显的年龄或金属丰度径向梯度。我们的径向速度测量表明,KDG 61视线上的HII结并没有引力附着在星系上。

英文摘要:

A study of two dE/dSph members of the nearby M 81 group of galaxies, KDG 61 and UGC 5442 = KDG 64, has been made. Direct Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images and integrated-light spectra of 6 m telescope of Special Astrophysical Observatory of Russian Academy of Sciences have been used for quantitative star formation history analysis. The spectroscopic and colour-magnitude diagrams analysis gives consistent results. These galaxies appear to be dominated by an old population (12-14 Gyr) of low metallicity ([Fe/H]~-1.5). Stars of ages about 1 to 4 Gyr have been detected in both galaxies. The later population shows marginal metal enrichment. We do not detect any significant radial gradients in age or metallicity in these galaxies. Our radial velocity measurement suggests that the HII knot on the line-of-sight of KDG 61 is not gravitationally attached to the galaxy.
