摘要:

在金属丰度分布和螺旋星系的共转半径的中断之间的相关性已经主张在过去,并预测我们的银河系的化学动力学模型,有效地介绍了螺旋臂的作用,在恒星形成率。在这项工作中,我们提出的光度和光谱观测与双子座望远镜的三个最好的候选人的螺旋星系有光盘内的共转:IC 0167,NGC1042和NGC6907。我们观察到这些星系中最强烈和分布最均匀的\hii区域,通过应用不同的统计方法推导出可靠的银河系距离和氧丰度。从这些结果中,我们证实了这些星系的金属丰度梯度的变化可能与共转共振的存在。

英文摘要:

The correlation between the breaks in the metallicity distribution and the corotation radius of spiral galaxies has been already advocated in the past and is predicted by a chemo-dynamical model of our Galaxy that effectively introduces the role of spiral arms in the star formation rate. In this work we present photometric and spectroscopic observations made with the Gemini Telescope for three of the best candidates of spiral galaxies to have the corotation inside the optical disk: IC0167, NGC1042 and NGC6907. We observed the most intense and well distributed \hii regions of these galaxies, deriving reliable galactocentric distances and Oxygen abundances by applying different statistical methods. From these results we confirm the presence of variations in the gradients of metallicity of these galaxies that are possibly correlated with the corotation resonance.
