SDSS星系的膨胀盘分解

Astrophysically Motivated Bulge-Disk Decompositions of SDSS Galaxies

C. N. Lackner, J. E. Gunn

摘要:

我们给出了一组在红移范围0.003<z<0.05的71,825个SDSS主样本星系的膨胀盘分解。我们给每个星系都配上了de Vaucouleurs(“经典”)或指数(“伪”)凸起和指数盘。当2分量拟合不具有统计学显著性或拟合较差时,即使在存在高信噪比的情况下,也进行二维Sersic拟合。我们通过研究一个明亮的星系子样本来研究我们的2-分量拟合的鲁棒性,并且我们研究了这些拟合随分辨率和信噪比降低的系统学。我们的样本中只有30%采用两个分量拟合,其中两个分量都不为零。使用从r带模型导出的线性模板来确定双组分模型的每个组分的g-r和g-i颜色。我们尝试了一个物理分类的类型适合盘星系,伪凸起,经典的凸起,和椭圆。我们的星系分类与以前的大B+D分解样本吻合得很好。使用我们的星系分类,我们发现,彼得罗斯浓度是一个很好的指标B/T,而整体Sersic指数不是。此外,我们发现大多数的绿谷星系是核球+盘星系。此外,在从绿色到红色B+D星系的过渡中,星系的总颜色与盘颜色的相关性最强。

英文摘要:

We present a set of bulge-disk decompositions for a sample of 71,825 SDSS main-sample galaxies in the redshift range 0.003<z<0.05. We have fit each galaxy with either a de Vaucouleurs ('classical') or an exponential ('pseudo-') bulge and an exponential disk. Two dimensional Sersic fits are performed when the 2-component fits are not statistically significant or when the fits are poor, even in the presence of high signal-to-noise. We study the robustness of our 2-component fits by studying a bright subsample of galaxies and we study the systematics of these fits with decreasing resolution and S/N. Only 30% of our sample have been fit with two-component fits in which both components are non-zero. The g-r and g-i colours of each component for the two-component models are determined using linear templates derived from the r-band model. We attempt a physical classification of types of fits into disk galaxies, pseudo-bulges, classical bulges, and ellipticals. Our classification of galaxies agrees well with previous large B+D decomposed samples. Using our galaxy classifications, we find that Petrosian concentration is a good indicator of B/T, while overall Sersic index is not. Additionally, we find that the majority of green valley galaxies are bulge+disk galaxies. Furthermore, in the transition from green to red B+D galaxies, the total galaxy colour is most strongly correlated with the disk colour.
