具有紫外环的透镜状星系

Lenticular galaxies with UV-rings

Marina A. Ilyina, Olga K. Sil'chenko

摘要:

通过使用GALEX(银河紫外线探测器)获得的附近星系的公共紫外线成像数据,我们编制了一份具有紫外线环的透镜状星系列表-恒星形成区域严格限制在距星系中心特定的径向距离内。本文利用SDSS(Sloan Digital Sky Survey)数据研究了这些星系在光学波段的大尺度结构:将星系图像分解为大尺度盘和球,从减去模型盘和球后的残差图像中测量了环的光学颜色,并比较了可见光和紫外波段的环的大小。本文讨论了无棒星系外星形成环的可能起源,表明了环外规则的结构和均匀的老恒星星族。

英文摘要:

By using the public UV imaging data obtained by the GALEX (Galaxy Ultraviolet Explorer) for nearby galaxies, we have compiled a list of lenticular galaxies possessing ultraviolet rings - starforming regions tightly confined to particular radial distances from galactic centers. We have studied large-scale structure of these galaxies in the optical bands by using the data of the SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey): we have decomposed the galactic images into large-scale disks and bulges, have measured the ring optical colours from the residual images after subtracting model disks and bulges, and have compared the sizes of the rings in the optical light and in the UV-band. The probable origin of the outer starforming ring appearances in unbarred galaxies demonstrating otherwise the regular structure and homogeneously old stellar population beyond the rings is discussed.
