三角座星系M33中GMC尺度的恒星形成规律

The star-formation law at GMC scales in M33, the Triangulum Galaxy

Thomas G. Williams, Walter K. Gear, Matthew W. L. Smith

摘要:

本文在$\sim$ 100 pc尺度上对本星系群星系M33的恒星形成率与气体含量之间的关系进行了高空间分辨率的研究。结合深SCUBA-2观测与档案GALEX,SDSS,WISE,斯皮策和亚毫米赫歇尔数据,我们能够模拟整个SED从紫外线到亚毫米波长。我们使用总红外光度逐个像素地计算SFR,并发现总SFR为$0.17 \pm 0.06\,\rm{M}_\odot$ /yr,略低于我们的其他两种SFR测量-组合FUV和24 $μ$ m SFR($0.25^{+0.10}_{-0.07}\,\rm{M}_\odot$ /yr)和SED拟合工具MAGPHYS($0.33^{+0.05}_{-0.06}\,\rm{M}_\odot$ /yr)。我们跟踪的总气体使用的组合的2 - 1厘米HI线的原子氢,和CO($\textit{J}$ =2-1)的数据的分子氢。我们还利用尘埃质量追踪了总气体。我们从分子气体、总气体和尘埃气体的角度研究恒星形成规律。我们在不同的像素尺度上分析了恒星的形成规律,从25 $^{\prime\prime}$到500 $^{\prime\prime}$(100 pc到2 kpc)。在kpc尺度下,我们发现线性施密特型幂律指数适用于分子气体,但总气体和尘埃气体的指数似乎要高得多。虽然我们发现一个强大的规模依赖施密特指数,气体耗尽的时间尺度是不变的像素尺度。

英文摘要:

We present a high spatial resolution study, on scales of $\sim$100pc, of the relationship between star-formation rate (SFR) and gas content within Local Group galaxy M33. Combining deep SCUBA-2 observations with archival GALEX, SDSS, WISE, Spitzer and submillimetre Herschel data, we are able to model the entire SED from UV to sub-mm wavelengths. We calculate the SFR on a pixel-by-pixel basis using the total infrared luminosity, and find a total SFR of $0.17 \pm 0.06\,\rm{M}_\odot$/yr, somewhat lower than our other two measures of SFR -- combined FUV and 24$μ$m SFR ($0.25^{+0.10}_{-0.07}\,\rm{M}_\odot$/yr) and SED-fitting tool MAGPHYS ($0.33^{+0.05}_{-0.06}\,\rm{M}_\odot$/yr). We trace the total gas using a combination of the 21cm HI line for atomic hydrogen, and CO($\textit{J}$=2-1) data for molecular hydrogen. We have also traced the total gas using dust masses. We study the star-formation law in terms of molecular gas, total gas, and gas from dust. We perform an analysis of the star-formation law on a variety of pixel scales, from 25$^{\prime\prime}$ to 500$^{\prime\prime}$ (100pc to 2kpc). At kpc scales, we find that a linear Schmidt-type power law index is suitable for molecular gas, but the index appears to be much higher with total gas, and gas from dust. Whilst we find a strong scale dependence on the Schmidt index, the gas depletion timescale is invariant with pixel scale.
