摘要:

我们分析了斯皮策红外近星系巡天中42个旋涡星系的演化,使用消隐校正的UV,光学和近红外径向轮廓来探测不同年龄恒星的辐射作为半径的函数。我们适合这些配置文件与模型,描述了自洽的框架内的螺旋盘的化学和分光光度的演变。这些后向模型成功地再现了我们星系的多波长轮廓,除了一些早型盘的紫外轮廓。从模型拟合,我们推断的最大圆周速度的旋转曲线(Vc)和无量纲自旋参数(lambda)。Vc值与HI旋转曲线上测得的速度值吻合较好。虽然我们的样本没有体积限制,但由此产生的自旋分布接近宇宙学N体模拟中获得的对数正态函数,峰值约为0.03,与总晕质量无关。我们没有发现任何明显的趋势之间的自旋和哈勃类型,除了增加散射的最新类型。根据这个模型,星系沿着一个大致恒定的质量-大小关系演化,随着它们变得更大,它们的尺度长度也会增加。在我们的样本中,大多数圆盘的径向尺度长度似乎以0.05-0.06 kpc/Gyr的速率增加,现在比z=1时大20-25%。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) We analyze the evolution of 42 spiral galaxies in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey, using extinction-corrected UV, optical and near-infrared radial profiles to probe the emission of stars of different ages as a function of radius. We fit these profiles with models that describe the chemical and spectro-photometric evolution of spiral disks within a self-consistent framework. These backward models succesfully reproduce the multi-wavelength profiles of our galaxies, except the UV profiles of some early-type disks. From the model fitting we infer the maximum circular velocity of the rotation curve (Vc) and the dimensionless spin parameter (lambda). The values of Vc are in good agreement with the velocities measured in HI rotation curves. While our sample is not volume-limited, the resulting distribution of spins is close to the lognormal function obtained in cosmological N-body simulations, peaking at ~0.03 regardless of the total halo mass. We do not find any evident trend between spin and Hubble type, besides an increase in the scatter for the latest types. According to the model, galaxies evolve along a roughly constant mass-size relation, increasing their scale-lengths as they become more massive. The radial scale-length of most disks in our sample seems to have increased at a rate of 0.05-0.06 kpc/Gyr, being now 20-25% larger than at z=1.
