螺旋星系M33的外向型恒星形成?

Outside-in stellar formation in the spiral galaxy M33?

F. Robles-Valdez, L. Carigi, M. Peimbert

摘要:

我们提出并讨论了M33的化学演化模型的结果。在我们的模型中,我们采用了一个由内而外的星系结构。建立的模型再现三个观测约束的M33盘:径向分布的重子总质量,气体质量和O/H丰度。观测结果表明,M33中的重子总质量分布具有双指数行为,当r<= 6 kpc时,由于气体质量面密度的增加,重子总质量分布呈指数下降;当r > 6 kpc时,由于气体质量面密度的增加,重子总质量分布略有增加。为了采用一组一致的恒星和H II区域O/H值,我们必须校正后者的温度变化和O尘埃耗尽的影响。我们的最佳模型与观测到的SFR、恒星质量、C/H、N/H、Ne/H、Mg/H、Si/H、P/H、S/H、Ar/H、Fe/H和Z的径向分布吻合得很好。根据我们的模型,当r <= 6 kpc时,恒星形成效率在时间和空间上是恒定的,而当r > 6 kpc时,SFR效率随时间和银河系距离的增加而减小。SFR效率的降低在较高的r下发生得更早。虽然星系在所有r下都遵循由内向外的形成方式,但恒星只在r = 6 kpc时遵循由内向外的形成方式,但当r > 6 kpc时,恒星遵循由外向内的形成方式。对每个r的恒星形成历史的推断意味着,当r > 6时,恒星的平均年龄随r的增加而增加。

英文摘要:

We present and discuss results from chemical evolution models for M33. For our models we adopt a galactic formation with an inside-out scenario. The models are built to reproduce three observational constraints of the M33 disk: the radial distributions of the total baryonic mass, the gas mass, and the O/H abundance. From observations, we find that the total baryonic mass profile in M33 has a double exponential behavior, decreasing exponentially for r<= 6 kpc, and increasing lightly for r > 6 kpc due to the increase of the gas mass surface density. To adopt a concordant set of stellar and H II regions O/H values, we had to correct the latter for the effect of temperature variations and O dust depletion. Our best model shows a good agreement with the observed the radial distributions of: the SFR, the stellar mass, C/H, N/H, Ne/H, Mg/H, Si/H, P/H, S/H, Ar/H, Fe/H,and Z. According to our model, the star formation efficiency is constant in time and space for r <= 6 kpc, but the SFR efficiency decreases with time and galactocentric distance for r > 6 kpc. The reduction of the SFR efficiency occurs earlier at higher r. While the galaxy follows the inside-out formation scenario for all r, the stars follow the inside-out scenario only up to r = 6 kpc, but for r > 6 kpc the stars follow an outside-in formation. The stellar formation histories inferred for each r imply that the average age of the stars for r > 6 increases with r.
