摘要:

利用斯皮策银河系恒星结构巡天(S $^4$ G)的资料,计算了69个边缘星系的$3.6μ{\rm m}+4.5μ{\rm m}$垂直积分径向光度剖面。我们将光度分布分解成一个圆盘和一个中心质量浓度(CMC)。这些拟合,结合我们先前研究中的薄/厚椎间盘分解,使我们能够估计CMC、厚椎间盘和薄椎间盘($\mathcal{M}_{\rm CMC}$、$\mathcal{M}_{\rm T}$和$\mathcal{M}_{\rm T}$)的质量。我们从文献中获得原子盘质量($\mathcal{M}_{\rm g}$)。然后,我们认为CMC和厚盘动态热组件和薄盘和气体盘动态冷组件。我们发现,热组分的质量和冷组分的质量之间的比率,$(\mathcal{M}_{\rm CMC}+\mathcal{M}_{\rm T})/(\mathcal{M}_{\rm t}+\mathcal{M}_{\rm g})$,不依赖于总星系质量所描述的圆速度($v_{\rm c}$)。我们还发现,$v_{\rm c}$越高,星系的热成分越集中。我们认为,我们的研究结果是兼容的CMC和厚光盘建立在一个短期和早期的高恒星形成强度阶段。这些成分是由于它们所起源的湍流气体盘的大尺度高度而产生的。我们的结果表明,在前阶段的恒星形成率和薄盘的形成率之间的比值是10的数量级,但该值取决于高恒星形成强度阶段的持续时间。

英文摘要:

We have produced $3.6μ{\rm m}+4.5μ{\rm m}$ vertically integrated radial luminosity profiles of 69 edge-on galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S$^4$G). We decomposed the luminosity profiles into a disc and a central mass concentration (CMC). These fits, combined with thin/thick disc decompositions from our previous studies, allow us to estimate the masses of the CMCs, the thick discs, and the thin discs ($\mathcal{M}_{\rm CMC}$, $\mathcal{M}_{\rm T}$, and $\mathcal{M}_{\rm T}$). We obtained atomic disc masses ($\mathcal{M}_{\rm g}$) from the literature. We then consider the CMC and the thick disc to be dynamically hot components and the thin disc and the gas disc to be dynamically cold components. We find that the ratio between the mass of the hot components and that of the cold components, $(\mathcal{M}_{\rm CMC}+\mathcal{M}_{\rm T})/(\mathcal{M}_{\rm t}+\mathcal{M}_{\rm g})$, does not depend on the total galaxy mass as described by circular velocities ($v_{\rm c}$). We also find that the higher the $v_{\rm c}$, the more concentrated the hot component of a galaxy. We suggest that our results are compatible with having CMCs and thick discs built in a short and early high star forming intensity phase. These components were born thick because of the large scale height of the turbulent gas disc in which they originated. Our results indicate that the ratio between the star forming rate in the former phase and that of the formation of the thin disc is of the order of 10, but the value depends on the duration of the high star forming intensity phase.
