双棒星系是如何长寿的呢?

How can double-barred galaxies be long-lived?

Herve Wozniak

摘要:

双棒星系几乎占所有棒星系的三分之一,这表明嵌入大尺度主棒中的次级恒星棒是长寿的结构。然而,到目前为止,很难自洽地模拟一个维持两个嵌套恒星棒超过几个旋转周期的盘状星系。已经进行了包括恒星形成配方在内的N体/流体动力学模拟。它们的性质已经与最近的观测数据进行了比较,以证明它们是双棒星系的代表,甚至是SB 0。在动态共振和酒吧模式的重叠已经使用傅立叶频谱图。双棒星系已经成功地模拟了长达7 Gyr的寿命。次级棒的恒星星族平均比主大尺度棒年轻。这些模拟的一个重要特点是没有任何谐振重叠的几个陀螺。特别是,没有重叠之间的主要酒吧ILR和次要酒吧共转。因此,模式耦合不能维持次级杆模式。恒星的形成在这里被确定为可能负责将能量带到核模式。恒星的形成也限制了中心区域的气体量,这防止了维持次级棒的轨道被破坏。因此,第二条可以溶解,但在大约之后重新出现。1 Gyr.当恒星形成被关闭时,与次级棒相关的动力学扰动需要几个陀螺才能完全消失。双酒吧可以长寿命的数值模拟与气体成分,即使在没有重叠的共振或模式耦合,只要恒星形成仍然活跃在中心区域的核酒吧所在。

英文摘要:

Double-barred galaxies account for almost one third of all barred galaxies, suggesting that secondary stellar bars, which are embedded in large-scale primary bars, are long-lived structures. However, up to now it has been hard to self-consistently simulate a disc galaxy that sustains two nested stellar bars for longer than a few rotation periods. N-body/hydrodynamical simulations including star formation recipes have been performed. Their properties have been compared with the most recent observational data in order to prove that they are representative of double-barred galaxies, even SB0. Overlaps in dynamical resonances and bar modes have been looked for using Fourier spectrograms. Double-barred galaxies have been successfully simulated with lifetimes as long as 7 Gyr. The stellar population of the secondary bar is younger on average than for the primary large-scale bar. An important feature of these simulations is the absence of any resonance overlap for several Gyr. In particular, there is no overlap between the primary bar ILR and the secondary bar corotation. Therefore, mode coupling cannot sustain the secondary bar mode. Star formation is identified here as possibly being responsible for bringing energy to the nuclear mode. Star formation is also responsible for limiting the amount of gas in the central region which prevents the orbits sustaining the secondary bar from being destroyed. Therefore, the secondary bar can dissolve but reappear after approx. 1 Gyr. When star formation is switched off the dynamical perturbation associated with the secondary bar needs several Gyr to fully vanish. Double-bars can be long-lived in numerical simulations with a gaseous component, even in the absence of overlap of resonances or mode coupling, provided that star formation remains active in the central region where the nuclear bar lies.
