模拟宇宙盘星系中年轻恒星和金属的分布

The Distribution of Young Stars and Metals in Simulated Cosmological Disk Galaxies

K. Pilkington, B. K. Gibson, D. H. Jones

摘要:

我们研究了与一个模拟的L* 宇宙盘星系的螺旋臂相关的年轻恒星的分布。我们发现年龄模式正交的武器,这是不符合经典的密度波理论的预测,一个观点进一步支持最近的观察面上的大设计螺旋,如M51。在一个模拟的~0.1L* 磁盘内的金属分布,加强恒星形成,年龄-金属丰度关系,和金属丰度分布函数之间的联系。

英文摘要:

We examine the distribution of young stars associated with the spiral arms of a simulated L* cosmological disk galaxy. We find age patterns orthogonal to the arms which are not inconsistent with the predictions of classical density wave theory, a view further supported by recent observations of face-on Grand Design spirals such as M51. The distribution of metals within a simulated ~0.1L* disk is presented, reinforcing the link between star formation, the age-metallicity relation, and the metallicity distribution function.
