摘要:

我们提出了被动发展(“退休”)星系,有用的ISM在这些星系的演变调查的发射线模板,其高温源人口的特征。这些模板是基于没有恒星形成和活动星系核的$\sim11500$富气斯隆数字巡天星系的高信噪比($>800$)共加光谱($3700-6800$谱)。堆叠光谱提供了整个样本和子样本装箱的平均恒星年龄。在Johansson~et al(2014)的研究中,这些光谱提供了被动演化星系中He II 4686氦谱线的第一次测量,并且观测到的He II/H $β$比限制了吸积白矮星(“单简并”场景)对Ia型超新星速率的贡献。在本文中,明确检测到的发射谱线的全部范围。将观测到的[O I] 6300 π/H $α$比率与光电离模型进行比较,进一步将Ia型超新星的任何高温单简并情况($\lesssim$为1.5 $\lesssim$ T/ $10^{5}K$ $\lesssim$ 10)限制在最年轻年龄段(即最高的Ia超新星比率)观测到的比率的$\lesssim$ 3-6\%。因此,对于相同的温度,在存在的环境人口的后AGB恒星,我们排除了额外的高温源的综合电离光度为$\approx 1.35\times 10^{30} L_{\odot}/M_{\odot,*}$的恒星星族的平均年龄为1 - 4 Gyrs。此外,我们调查的消光影响恒星和星云连续。后者显示出大约五倍的高值。这与各向同性分布的尘埃和气体相矛盾,这两种情况下的消光值相似。

英文摘要:

We present emission line templates for passively evolving ("retired") galaxies, useful for investigation of the evolution of the ISM in these galaxies, and characterization of their high-temperature source populations. The templates are based on high signal-to-noise ($>800$) co-added spectra ($3700-6800$Å) of $\sim11500$ gas-rich Sloan Digital Sky Survey galaxies devoid of star-formation and active galactic nuclei. Stacked spectra are provided for the entire sample and sub-samples binned by mean stellar age. In Johansson~et al (2014), these spectra provided the first measurements of the He II 4686Å line in passively-evolving galaxies, and the observed He II/H$β$ ratio constrained the contribution of accreting white dwarfs (the "single-degenerate" scenario) to the type Ia supernova rate. In this paper, the full range of unambiguously detected emission lines are presented. Comparison of the observed [O I] 6300Å/H$α$ ratio with photoionization models further constrains any high-temperature single-degenerate scenario for type Ia supernovae (with 1.5 $\lesssim$ T/$10^{5}K$ $\lesssim$ 10) to $\lesssim$3-6\% of the observed rate in the youngest age bin (i.e. highest SN Ia rate). Hence, for the same temperatures, in the presence of an ambient population of post-AGB stars, we exclude additional high-temperature sources with a combined ionizing luminosity of $\approx 1.35\times 10^{30} L_{\odot}/M_{\odot,*}$ for stellar populations with mean ages of 1 - 4 Gyrs. Furthermore, we investigate the extinction affecting both the stellar and nebular continuum. The latter shows about five times higher values. This contradicts isotropically distributed dust and gas that renders similar extinction values for both cases.
