6dF矮星系的物理性质

Physical properties of 6dF dwarf galaxies

Jean Michel Gomes, Polychronis Papaderos

摘要:

光谱合成基本上是将观测到的光谱分解成各种年龄和金属丰度的简单恒星星族的叠加,产生恒星形成和星系化学历史,其灭绝和速度色散的输出。STARLIGHT代码提供了目前可用的最强大的光谱合成工具之一。我们已经将这个代码应用于附近恒星形成星系的整个六度场巡天(6dF)样本,选择矮星系候选者,目标是:(2)建立一个包含我们样本星系物理性质和纯发射谱FITS文件的数据库(即减去最佳拟合合成恒星光谱后的观测光谱)。我们的研究结果产生了良好的定性和定量协议与以前的研究的基础上斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)。然而,6dF光谱的一个优点是它们是在两倍大的光纤孔径内拍摄的,大大减少了附近矮星系研究中的孔径效应。

英文摘要:

Spectral synthesis is basically the decomposition of an observed spectrum in terms of the superposition of a base of simple stellar populations of various ages and metallicities, producing as output the star formation and chemical histories of a galaxy, its extinction and velocity dispersion. The STARLIGHT code provides one of the most powerful spectral synthesis tools presently available. We have applied this code to the entire Six-Degree-Field Survey (6dF) sample of nearby star-forming galaxies, selecting dwarf galaxy candidates with the goal of: (1) deriving the age and metallicity of their stellar populations and (2) creating a database with the physical properties of our sample galaxies together with the FITS files of pure emission line spectra (i.e. the observed spectra after subtraction of the best-fitting synthetic stellar spectrum). Our results yield a good qualitative and quantitative agreement with previous studies based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). However, an advantage of 6dF spectra is that they are taken within a twice as large fiber aperture, much reducing aperture effects in studies of nearby dwarf galaxies.
