action的长期演化:方形凸起的恒星星族的中心值和径向趋势

Secular evolution in action: central values and radial trends in the stellar populations of boxy bulges

Michael J. Williams, Martin Bureau, Harald Kuntschner

摘要:

我们确定的中心值和径向趋势的恒星星族的样品的28个边缘上的S 0-Sb盘星系,其中22个是boxy/花生形(因此禁止)的凸起。我们的主要调查结果如下。(1)在一个给定的速度色散,中央恒星星族的星系与boxy/花生状的凸起是无法区分的早期类型(椭圆和S 0)的星系。要么长期演化对恒星星族的影响与整体坍缩或合并没有什么不同,要么长期演化在这些星系的中心区域并不重要,尽管它们是被禁止的。(2)的径向金属丰度梯度的boxy/花生形的凸起是不相关的速度色散,平均而言,浅于那些unbarbed早型星系。这是定性一致的化学动力学模型酒吧的形成,其中径向流入和流出涂抹了预先存在的梯度。

英文摘要:

We determine central values and radial trends in the stellar populations of the bulges of a sample of 28 edge-on S0-Sb disk galaxies, 22 of which are boxy/peanut-shaped (and therefore barred). Our principal findings are the following. (1) At a given velocity dispersion, the central stellar populations of galaxies with boxy/peanut-shaped bulges are indistinguishable from those of early-type (elliptical and S0) galaxies. Either secular evolution affects stellar populations no differently to monolithic collapse or mergers, or secular evolution is not important in the central regions of these galaxies, despite the fact that they are barred. (2) The radial metallicity gradients of boxy/peanut-shaped bulges are uncorrelated with velocity dispersion and are, on average, shallower than those of unbarred early-type galaxies. This is qualitatively consistent with chemodynamical models of bar formation, in which radial inflow and outflow smears out pre-existing gradients.
