摘要:

这项工作的目的是提出我们新的一系列化学演化模型计算的螺旋和低质量星系的不同的总质量和恒星形成效率。我们分析了模型的结果,特别是氧丰度的径向梯度的演变。此外,我们研究的作用的下降率和恒星形成的历史上的变化,这种径向梯度。同时给出了O/H径向梯度与旋涡星系的大小、质量等特征的关系。我们发现,径向梯度主要是一种尺度效应,如果在光学半径内测量,它基本上不随红移(或时间)而变化。此外,当它作为归一化半径的函数测量时,对于所有星系质量显示出类似的值,显示出与平均值周围的色散的相关性,这是由于恒星形成效率的差异,与普遍的O/H径向梯度的想法一致。

英文摘要:

The aim of this work is to present our new series of chemical evolution models computed for spiral and low mass galaxies of different total masses and star formation efficiencies. We analyze the results of models, in particular the evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance. Furthermore, we study the role of the infall rate and of the star formation history on the variations of this radial gradient. The relations between the O/H radial gradient and other spiral galaxies characteristics as the size or the stellar mass are also shown. We find that the radial gradient is mainly a scale effect which basically does not change with the redshift (or time) if it is measured within the optical radius. Moreover, when it is measured as a function of a normalized radius, show a similar value for all galaxies masses, showing a correlation with a dispersion around an average value which is due to the differences star formation efficiencies, in agreement with the idea of an universal O/H radial gradient
