摘要:

我们已经创建了一个估计的金属丰度图的小麦哲伦云(SMC)使用麦哲伦云光度测量(MCPS)和光学引力透镜实验(OGLE III)光度数据。这是第一张半径为$\sim$ 2.5 $^{\circ}$的金属丰度图。我们确定的RGB的V,(V $-$ I)的颜色幅度图的大小不同的两个数据集的小的子区域。我们使用的RGB的斜率作为一个子区域的平均金属丰度的指标,并校准RGB斜率金属丰度使用现有的光谱数据为选定的子区域。根据OGLE III,SMC的平均金属丰度为[Fe/H] = $-$ 0.94 dex($σ$ [Fe/H] = 0.09),根据MCPS,[Fe/H] = $-$ 0.95 dex($σ$ [Fe/H] = 0.08)。我们证实,在内部SMC内,在半径高达2.5 $^{\circ}$($-$ 0.045 $\pm$ 0.004 dex deg $^{-1}$至$-$ 0.067 $\pm$ 0.006 dex deg $^{-1}$)的范围内存在浅但显著的金属丰度梯度。

英文摘要:

We have created an estimated metallicity map of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey (MCPS) and Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) photometric data. This is a first of its kind map of metallicity up to a radius of $\sim$ 2.5$^{\circ}$. We identify the RGB in the V, (V$-$I) colour magnitude diagrams of small subregions of varying sizes in both data sets. We use the slope of the RGB as an indicator of the average metallicity of a subregion, and calibrate the RGB slope to metallicity using available spectroscopic data for selected subregions. The average metallicity of the SMC is found to be [Fe/H] = $-$0.94 dex ($σ$[Fe/H] = 0.09) from OGLE III, and [Fe/H] = $-$0.95 dex ($σ$[Fe/H] = 0.08) from MCPS. We confirm a shallow but significant metallicity gradient within the inner SMC up to a radius of 2.5$^{\circ}$ ($-$0.045$\pm$0.004 dex deg$^{-1}$ to $-$0.067$\pm$0.006 dex deg$^{-1}$).
