重新评估古老的恒星星族

Reevaluating Old Stellar Populations

E R Stanway, J J Eldridge

摘要:

确定古老的恒星星族(年龄大于1 Gyr的恒星)的性质,长期以来都涉及到将它们的积分光(以测光或光谱指数的形式)与经验或合成模板进行比较。在这里,我们重新评估旧的恒星星族使用一套新的恒星星族合成模型,旨在纳入作为恒星质量和年龄的函数的二进制恒星演化途径的影响的属性。我们发现,单年龄的恒星星族模型,包括双星,以及新的恒星演化和大气模型,可以重现的颜色和光谱指数观察到的球状星团和静止星系。最好的拟合模型人口往往比那些来自旧的光谱合成模型,也可能位于略高的金属丰度。

英文摘要:

Determining the properties of old stellar populations (those with age >1 Gyr) has long involved the comparison of their integrated light, either in the form of photometry or spectroscopic indexes, with empirical or synthetic templates. Here we reevaluate the properties of old stellar populations using a new set of stellar population synthesis models, designed to incorporate the effects of binary stellar evolution pathways as a function of stellar mass and age. We find that single-aged stellar population models incorporating binary stars, as well as new stellar evolution and atmosphere models, can reproduce the colours and spectral indices observed in both globular clusters and quiescent galaxies. The best fitting model populations are often younger than those derived from older spectral synthesis models, and may also lie at slightly higher metallicities.
