Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars. Modelling Galaxies
摘要：
恒星演化的热脉动渐近巨分支（TP-AGB）阶段只是最近才在星系演化中受到关注，但现在是我们理解星系如何形成和演化的重要参与者。因为它是一个短暂但非常明亮的相位，在尘埃影响很小的近红外区很明亮，TP-AGB相位是高红移星系中中等年龄恒星的强大示踪剂。由星族合成模型定义的TP-AGB星的光谱特征已被斯皮策太空望远镜在高红移星系中探测到，其光谱与本地恒星星族的光谱显示出惊人的相似性。即使考虑到影响这一阶段理论建模的高度不确定性，包括TP-AGB在内的恒星星族模型也能更好地确定星系年龄，从而确定恒星质量，这是研究星系形成和演化的基本量。他们还改进了半解析模型的结果，可以更好地再现高z星系的颜色和K波段光度函数。
英文摘要：
The Thermally-Pulsating Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) phase of stellar evolution has received attention only recently in galaxy evolution, but is now an important player in our understanding of how galaxies form and evolve. Because it is a short but very luminous phase, bright in the near-IR where dust effects are small, the TP-AGB phase is a powerful tracer of intermediate-age stars in galaxies up to high redshift. The spectral signature of TP-AGB stars as defined by population synthesis models has been detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope in high-redshift galaxies, whose spectra show an amazing similarity to spectra of local stellar populations. Even accounting for the high uncertainty affecting the theoretical modelling of this phase, stellar population models including the TP-AGB have leveraged a better determination of galaxy ages and hence stellar masses, fundamental quantities for studying galaxy formation and evolution. They have also improved the results of semi-analytic models, which can better reproduce colours and the K-band luminosity function of high-z galaxies.
