摘要:

在盘状星系的中心区域经常可以观察到恒星速度色散的极小值。为了研究这种被称为σ滴的特征的起源,我们分析了高分辨率N体+光滑粒子流体动力学模拟的恒星运动学,该模拟模拟了无棒盘星系的长期演化。我们比较了内在的质量加权运动恢复的光度加权的。后者是通过分析由新代码SYNTRA产生的合成光谱获得的,该代码通过根据年龄和金属丰度为每个恒星粒子分配恒星星族合成模型来生成合成光谱。运动学是从合成光谱中得到的,就像在真实光谱中一样,以模仿真实星系的运动学分析。我们发现,恢复的亮度加权运动学在模拟星系的中心偏向于更高的旋转速度和更低的速度色散,由于存在年轻的恒星在一个薄的和运动学冷盘,并最终负责σ下降。

英文摘要:

A minimum in stellar velocity dispersion is often observed in the central regions of disc galaxies. To investigate the origin of this feature, known as a σ-drop, we analyse the stellar kinematics of a high-resolution N-body + smooth particle hydrodynamical simulation, which models the secular evolution of an unbarred disc galaxy. We compared the intrinsic mass-weighted kinematics to the recovered luminosity-weighted ones. The latter were obtained by analysing synthetic spectra produced by a new code, SYNTRA, that generates synthetic spectra by assigning a stellar population synthesis model to each star particle based on its age and metallicity. The kinematics were derived from the synthetic spectra as in real spectra to mimic the kinematic analysis of real galaxies. We found that the recovered luminosity-weighted kinematics in the centre of the simulated galaxy are biased to higher rotation velocities and lower velocity dispersions due to the presence of young stars in a thin and kinematically cool disc, and are ultimately responsible for the σ-drop.
