摘要:

我们报告深斯巴鲁Halalpha观测的XUV盘M83。这些新的观测结果使整个XUV盘上非常年轻的星团的第一次完整普查成为可能。结合Subaru和GALEX的数据和一个恒星星族合成模型,我们发现:(1)标准的,但随机抽样的初始质量函数(IMF)优于截断的IMF,因为存在低质量的星团(10^{2-3}Msun)的大质量O型恒星;(2)标准Salpeter IMF和简单的老化效应解释了质量>10^3Msun的FUV亮和Halpha-bright星系团的计数;以及(3)XUV盘上的Halpha与FUV通量比支持标准IMF。Subaru Prime Focus Camera(Suprime-Cam)即使在XUV磁盘之外也能覆盖很大的区域-远远超过HI气体的检测极限。这使我们能够从统计上将盘中的星团与背景污染分开。新的数据,模型和以前的光谱研究提供了整体一致的结果,相对于内部尘埃消光(Av~0.1 mag)和低金属量(~0.2Zsun)使用SMC的尘埃消光曲线。

英文摘要:

We report deep Subaru Halpha observations of the XUV disk of M83. These new observations enable the first complete census of very young stellar clusters over the entire XUV disk. Combining Subaru and GALEX data with a stellar population synthesis model, we find that (1) the standard, but stochastically-sampled, initial mass function (IMF) is preferred over the truncated IMF, because there are low mass stellar clusters (10^{2-3}Msun) that host massive O-type stars; that (2) the standard Salpeter IMF and a simple aging effect explain the counts of FUV-bright and Halpha-bright clusters with masses >10^3Msun; and that (3) the Halpha to FUV flux ratio over the XUV disk supports the standard IMF. The Subaru Prime Focus Camera (Suprime-Cam) covers a large area even outside the XUV disk -- far beyond the detection limit of the HI gas. This enables us to statistically separate the stellar clusters in the disk from background contamination. The new data, model, and previous spectroscopic studies provide overall consistent results with respect to the internal dust extinction (Av~0.1 mag) and low metallicity (~0.2Zsun) using the dust extinction curve of SMC.
