核的中UV群体和合并后NGC 3610的主体

The mid-UV population of the nucleus and the bulk of the post-merger NGC 3610

Lucio Buson

摘要:

NGC~3610的中心是一个明显受到扰动的巨大椭圆形天体,通常被认为是合并后的残余物,在中紫外(2500-3200 A光谱区)似乎被一个恒星星族所控制,这个恒星族与控制它的大部分恒星族明显不同。我想在这里利用NGC~3610的中紫外光谱,通过微小($\sim$ 1”)和大(10”$\times$ 20”)孔径作为诊断群体工具。比较了NGC 3610的IUE/LWP大口径和HST/FOS紫外数据。中紫外三重态的强度(主要由关闭人口)显示出显着的下降时,从星系中央角秒(FOS光圈)切换到光圈大小相当于$\sim$ 0.5 r $_e$(IUE)。在过去的合并中,这个星系的亚秒(中)紫外线特性揭示了中心金属富集,使其先前存在的大部分人口完好无损。

英文摘要:

The very center of NGC~3610, a clearly disturbed giant elliptical generally assumed to be a post-merger remnant, appears dominated in the mid-UV (2500-3200 A spectral region) by a stellar population markedly different from that dominating the bulk of its stellar body. I want here to make use of the mid-UV spectra of NGC~3610 as seen through tiny ($\sim$1") and large (10"$\times$20") apertures as a diagnostic population tool. I compare archive IUE/LWP large aperture and HST/FOS UV data of NGC 3610. The strength of mid-UV triplet (dominated by the turnoff population) shows a remarkable drop when switching from the galaxy central arcsec (FOS aperture) to an aperture size comparable to $\sim$0.5 r$_e$ (IUE). The sub-arsec (mid)-UV properties of this galaxy involved in a past merger reveal a central metal enrichment which left intact the bulk of its pre-existing population.
