近红外光谱研究TP-AGB星对半乳糖醛酸SED影响的直接制约

Direct Constraints on the Impact of TP-AGB Stars on the SED of Galaxies from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

摘要:

我们提出了新的分光光度近红外观测的16个后星爆星系,特别是设计来测试存在的强碳功能的热脉冲AGB(TP-AGB)恒星,预测最近的模型的恒星星族合成。基于清晰的光谱光学特征的选择表明年龄在0.5 Gyr和1.5 Gyr之间的恒星星族的强烈优势,红移约为0.2,使我们能够探测光谱区域,这是最受TP-AGB星的碳特征(从地面上的z~0星系)在演化阶段,当它们对红外光度的影响是最大的。然而,没有一个观测到的星系显示出这样的特征。此外,相对于光学的近红外通量与原始Bruzual & Charlot(2003)模型预测的结果一致,其中TP-AGB星的影响远低于最近提出的。

英文摘要:

We present new spectro-photometric NIR observations of 16 post-starburst galaxies especially designed to test for the presence of strong carbon features of thermally pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) stars, as predicted by recent models of stellar population synthesis. Selection based on clear spectroscopic optical features indicating the strong predominance of stellar populations with ages between 0.5 and 1.5 Gyr and redshift around 0.2 allows us to probe the spectral region that is most affected by the carbon features of TP-AGB stars (unaccessible from the ground for z~0 galaxies) in the evolutionary phase when their impact on the IR luminosity is maximum. Nevertheless, none of the observed galaxies display such features. Moreover the NIR fluxes relative to optical are consistent with those predicted by the original Bruzual & Charlot (2003) models, where the impact of TP-AGB stars is much lower than has been recently advocated.
