摘要:

本文介绍了He 2-10和NGC 5253的近红外积分场光谱,这两个著名的矮不规则星系显示出很高的恒星形成率。我们的数据提供了一个前所未有的详细的星际介质和恒星形成在这些星系,使我们能够获得空间分辨的信息,从近红外发射和吸收线示踪剂。我们主要通过对星际介质(ISM)中不同组分的空间分布和运动学的研究,主要是通过对ISM中不同组分的能量谱线、分子氢谱、[Fe Ⅱ]发射和CO吸收等的研究。虽然ISM主要是光激发的,由[Fe II]/Bry和H2线比导出,一些地区对应于非热射电源显示[Fe II]/Bry过剩由于SN驱动的冲击的显着贡献。在He 2-10中,我们发现CO(2-1)和H2红外线追踪的分子气云,在用两种不同的示踪剂研究时,表现出一致的形态和速度。此外,这与电离气体追踪到的最年轻的超级星团有着明显的联系。在同一个星系中,我们观察到一个气体耗尽的空腔,它被一些最活跃的恒星形成区域所包围,我们将其解释为来自旧恒星形成事件的反馈诱导恒星形成的特征。最后,我们测量了两个星系的ISM中的高湍流,sigma~30-80 km/s,由高恒星形成活动驱动。

英文摘要:

We present integral field spectroscopy in the near infrared (NIR) of He 2-10 and NGC 5253, two well known nearby dwarf irregular galaxies showing high star-formation rates. Our data provide an unprecedented detailed view of the interstellar medium and star formation in these galaxies, allowing us to obtain spatially resolved information from the NIR emission and absorption line tracers. We study the spatial distribution and kinematics of different components of the interstellar medium (ISM) mostly through the Bracket series lines, the molecular hydrogen spectrum, [FeII] emission, and CO absorptions. Although the ISM is mostly photo-excited, as derived by the [FeII]/Bry and H2 line ratios, some regions corresponding to non-thermal radio sources show a [FeII]/Bry excess due to a significant contribution of SN driven shocks. In He 2-10 we find that the molecular gas clouds, as traced by CO(2-1) and H2 infrared line, show consistent morphologies and velocities when studied with the two different tracers. Moreover, there is a clear association with the youngest super star clusters as traced by the ionized gas. In the same galaxy we observe a cavity depleted of gas, which is surrounded by some of the most active regions of star formation, that we interpret as a signature of feedback-induced star formation from older episodes of star formation. Finally, we measured high turbulence in the ISM of both galaxies, sigma~30-80 km/s, driven by the high star-formation activity.
