摘要:

我们报告的经验趋势之间的动态确定的恒星初始质量函数(IMF)和恒星星族属性的一个完整的,体积有限的样本260早型星系的CRAMAS 3D项目。我们研究我们的动态导出IMF归一化和吸收线强度之间的趋势,并解释这些通过单恒星星族-(SSP-)等效年龄,丰度比(测量为[α/Fe]),和总金属丰度,[Z/H]。我们发现,旧的和α-增强星系往往有平均较重(Salpeter样)的IMF质量归一化,但恒星星族似乎并不是一个很好的预测IMF,在一个给定的人口参数的大范围内的归一化。因此,我们发现弱IMF-[α/Fe]和IMF-年龄相关性,没有显着的IMF-[Z/H]相关性。观察到的趋势似乎显着弱于那些在研究中报告的测量IMF的归一化通过低质量恒星的人口统计推断,通过恒星光谱分析。

英文摘要:

We report on empirical trends between the dynamically determined stellar initial mass function (IMF) and stellar population properties for a complete, volume-limited sample of 260 early-type galaxies from the Atlas3D project. We study trends between our dynamically-derived IMF normalisation and absorption line strengths, and interpret these via single stellar population- (SSP-) equivalent ages, abundance ratios (measured as [alpha/Fe]), and total metallicity, [Z/H]. We find that old and alpha-enhanced galaxies tend to have on average heavier (Salpeter-like) mass normalisation of the IMF, but stellar population does not appear to be a good predictor of the IMF, with a large range of normalisation at a given population parameter. As a result, we find weak IMF-[alpha/Fe] and IMF-age correlations, and no significant IMF-[Z/H] correlation. The observed trends appear significantly weaker than those reported in studies that measure the IMF normalisation via low-mass star demographics inferred through stellar spectral analysis.
