基于H II区丰度的银河系化学演化的最后5 Gyr

The last 5 Gyr of Galactic chemical evolution based on H II region abundances derived from a temperature independent method

Leticia Carigi, Manuel Peimbert, Antonio Peimbert

摘要:

大多数化学演化模型对于星系演化的最后5~Gyr都不是很可靠;这主要是因为文献中发现的丰度梯度显示年轻天体的色散很大;其中一个很大的罪魁祸首是在HII区梯度中发现的色散。这种色散的一部分来自两种不同的方法,用于确定O/H在HII区:直接法(DM),基于禁戒线;和温度无关的方法(TIM),基于允许线;这两种方法之间的差异约为0.25~dex。我们提出了两个化学演化模型,我们的银河系,以适应的O/H梯度的HII区域,一个从DM和其他从TIM获得。我们发现,基于TIM的模型产生了一个很好的适合观测恒星的约束(B星,造父变星,太阳),而基于DM的模型未能重现它们。此外,TIM模型再现了在3-6 kpc的银河系中心范围内观察到的扁平化;这种扁平化是在9 Gyr前开始的内部盘中由内而外的恒星形成淬火中实现的。

英文摘要:

Most of the chemical evolution models are not very reliable for the last 5~Gyr of galactic evolution; this is mainly because abundance gradients found in the literature show a big dispersion for young objects; a big culprit of this is the dispersion found in HII region gradients. Part of this dispersion arises from two different methods used to determine O/H in HII regions: the direct method (DM), based on forbidden lines; and the temperature independent method (TIM), based on permitted lines; the differences between these two methods are about 0.25~dex. We present two chemical evolution models of our galaxy to fit the O/H gradients of HII regions, one obtained from the DM and the other obtained from the TIM. We find that the model based on the TIM produces an excellent fit to the observational stellar constraints (B-stars, Cepheids, and the Sun), while the model based on the DM fails to reproduce them. Moreover the TIM model reproduces the flattening observed in the 3-6 kpc galactocentric range; this flattening is attained with an inside-out star formation quenching in the inner disk starting ~ 9 Gyr ago.
