螺旋星系的化学和物理性质的多dimensional analysis

Multi-dimensional analysis of the chemical and physical properties of spiral galaxies

F. F. Rosales-Ortega

摘要:

本文利用宽场二维光谱技术研究晚型场星系的星云性质。本论文进行的观测代表了第一次努力,以获得完整的2D覆盖的磁盘附近的螺旋星系的样本,通过应用积分场光谱(IFS)技术,根据PPAK IFS附近Galerkin调查:PINGS。一个自洽的方法是定义在观察方面,数据减少和分析技术,本次和即将举行的IFS调查,以及提供一套全新的IFS可视化和分析软件提供给公共领域(PINGSoft)。科学分析包括研究电离气体的综合性质和对四个选定星系的发射线光谱进行详细的二维研究。有证据表明,经典HII区域的发射线的测量不仅是孔径,但空间依赖性,因此,导出的物理参数和金属含量可能显着依赖于该地区的形态,提取孔径和观测光谱的信噪比。此外,在正常的旋涡星系中的非线性多模态丰度梯度的观测证据被发现,在银河系盘的最里面和最外面的部分的平坦化,具有重要的意义,在化学演化的星系。

英文摘要:

In this thesis, wide-field 2D spectroscopy is employed in order to characterise the nebular properties of late-type field galaxies. The observations performed for this dissertation represent the first endeavour to obtain full 2D coverage of the disks of a sample of nearby spiral galaxies, by the application of the Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) technique, under the PPAK IFS Nearby Galaxies Survey: PINGS. A self-consistent methodology is defined in terms of observation, data reduction and analysis techniques for this and upcoming IFS surveys, as well as providing a whole new set of IFS visualization and analysis software made available for the public domain (PINGSoft). The scientific analysis comprises the study of the integrated properties of the ionized gas and a detailed 2D study from the emission line spectra of four selected galaxies. Evidence is found suggesting that measurements of emission lines of classical HII regions are not only aperture, but spatial dependent, and therefore, the derived physical parameters and metallicity content may significantly depend on the morphology of the region, on the extraction aperture and on the signal-to-noise of the observed spectrum. Furthermore, observational evidence of non-linear multi-modal abundance gradients in normal spiral galaxies is found, consistent with a flattening in the innermost and outermost parts of the galactic discs, with important implications in terms of the chemical evolution of galaxies.
