摘要:

我们提出了Herschel/PACS 100和160微米的综合测光的323个星系的Herschel参考巡天(HRS),K波段,体积有限的样本星系在本地宇宙。一旦与Herschel/SPIRE观测数据结合,这些数据使HRS成为附近星系的最大代表性样本,在100-500微米波长范围内具有均匀的覆盖范围。在本文中,我们利用这一独特的数据集来研究附近星系远红外/亚毫米光谱能量分布的性质和形状。我们发现,在HRS覆盖的恒星质量范围内(8<log(M*/Msun)<12),远红外/亚毫米颜色与所有星系具有相同尘埃发射率指数β的单个修改黑体不一致。特别是,当从富金属/贫气体星系移动到贫金属/富气体星系时,要么β下降,要么需要多个温度分量。因此,我们调查如何从一个单一的修改后的黑体得到的尘埃温度和质量取决于β的假设。我们发现,虽然尘埃温度,星系结构和恒星形成率之间的相关性是强烈的模型依赖性,尘埃质量标度关系是更可靠的,和β的变化只改变所观察到的趋势的强度。

英文摘要:

We present Herschel/PACS 100 and 160 micron integrated photometry for the 323 galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey (HRS), a K-band-, volume-limited sample of galaxies in the local Universe. Once combined with the Herschel/SPIRE observations already available, these data make the HRS the largest representative sample of nearby galaxies with homogeneous coverage across the 100-500 micron wavelength range. In this paper, we take advantage of this unique dataset to investigate the properties and shape of the far-infrared/sub-millimeter spectral energy distribution in nearby galaxies. We show that, in the stellar mass range covered by the HRS (8<log(M*/Msun)<12), the far-infrared/sub-millimeter colours are inconsistent with a single modified black-body having the same dust emissivity index beta for all galaxies. In particular, either beta decreases, or multiple temperature components are needed, when moving from metal-rich/gas-poor to metal-poor/gas-rich galaxies. We thus investigate how the dust temperature and mass obtained from a single modified black-body depend on the assumptions made on beta. We show that, while the correlations between dust temperature, galaxy structure and star formation rate are strongly model dependent, the dust mass scaling relations are much more reliable, and variations of beta only change the strength of the observed trends.
