监测M33中的脉动巨星:恒星形成历史和化学富集

Monitoring pulsating giant stars in M33: star formation history and chemical enrichment

Atefeh Javadi, Jacco van Loon

摘要:

我们已经在英国天文台红望远镜(UKIRT)上对本星系群螺旋星系M 33(三角座)进行了近红外监测活动。我们开发了一种新的方法,利用脉动巨星来重建星系在宇宙学时间内的恒星形成历史,并利用它们来绘制其宿主星系的尘埃产生。在第一个实例中,监测了M33的中心平方千秒差距,并识别出长周期变星(LPV)。我们给出了两个时代的恒星形成率提高了几个因素的证据。这些恒星也是重要的尘埃工厂,我们通过结合斯皮策太空望远镜中红外测光的数据来测量它们的尘埃生产率。随后,监测调查范围扩大到包括旋臂在内的“3·33”运动更大的部分。在这里,我们介绍了我们的方法,并描述了M33的中心平方千秒差距的结果(Javadi et al. 2011 a,b,c,2013)和M33的圆盘(Javadi et al. 2015,2016,2017,以及准备中)。

英文摘要:

We have conducted a near-infrared monitoring campaign at the UK InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT), of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33 (Triangulum). A new method has been developed by us to use pulsating giant stars to reconstruct the star formation history of galaxies over cosmological time as well as using them to map the dust production across their host galaxies. In first Instance the central square kiloparsec of M33 was monitored and long period variable stars (LPVs) were identified. We give evidence of two epochs of a star formation rate enhanced by a factor of a few. These stars are also important dust factories, we measure their dust production rates from a combination of our data with Spitzer Space Telescope mid-IR photometry. Then the monitoring survey was expanded to cover a much larger part of M33 including spiral arms. Here we present our methodology and describe results for the central square kiloparsec of M33 (Javadi et al. 2011 a,b,c, 2013) and disc of M33 (Javadi et al. 2015, 2016, 2017, and in preparation).
