邻近矮星系的H-α巡天

H-alpha survey of nearby dwarf galaxies

S. S. Kaisin, I. D. Karachentsev, S. Ravindranath

摘要:

本文给出了30个矮星系的H-α成像数据和流量测量结果。的H-α通量被用来推导星系恒星形成率,SFR。观测到的星系样本的特征是:中位距离为7.5 Mpc,中位蓝色绝对星等为-14.8等,中位SFR为-2.0 dex。本星系群中的两个dSph成员:鲸鱼座和狮子座IV,分别以-5.4 dex和-7.0 dex的速率没有恒星形成的迹象。BCD星系ESO 553-46是本体积星系中比SFR最高的星系之一。

英文摘要:

We present the H-alpha imaging data and flux measurements for 30 dwarf galaxies in the Local volume. The H-alpha fluxes are used to derive the galaxy star formation rate, SFR. The sample of observed galaxies is characterized by the following parameters: the median distance of 7.5 Mpc, the median blue absolute magnitude of -14.8 mag, and median SFR of -2.0 dex. Two dSph members of the Local Group: Cetus and Leo IV do not show signs of star formation on the rate of -5.4 dex and -7.0 dex, respectively. The BCD galaxy ESO 553-46 has one of the highest specific SFR among the Local volume galaxies.
