摘要:

我们目前的气相金属丰度和电离参数地图的25个恒星形成面对螺旋星系从SAMI星系巡天数据发布1。通过迭代过程同时计算自洽金属丰度和电离参数图,以解释涉及([OII]+[OIII])/H $β$(R23)和[OIII]/[OII](O32)的强发射线诊断的相互依赖性。这些地图是在逐空间像素的基础上创建的,因为HII区域没有以SAMI空间分辨率进行解析。我们结合SAMI数据和GAMA巡天的恒星质量、恒星形成率(SFR)、有效半径(R $_e$)、椭圆率和位置角(PA)分析了它们与金属丰度和电离参数的关系。我们发现金属丰度梯度随星系恒星质量的增加而变陡的趋势较弱,其值在-0.03到-0.20 dex/R $_e$之间。只有两个星系的电离参数呈现径向梯度。我们发现,电离参数与SFR,sSFR(特定的恒星形成率),或金属丰度没有显着的相关性。对于几个单独的星系,我们发现结构的电离参数图暗示的旋臂功能。我们发现一个典型的电离参数范围为$7.0 < \log(q) < 7.8$为我们的星系样本没有显着的整体结构。这种量级的电离参数范围足够大,以警告未考虑变化的电离参数分布的影响的金属丰度诊断的使用。

英文摘要:

We present gas-phase metallicity and ionization parameter maps of 25 star-forming face-on spiral galaxies from the SAMI Galaxy Survey Data Release 1. Self-consistent metallicity and ionization parameter maps are calculated simultaneously through an iterative process to account for the interdependence of the strong emission line diagnostics involving ([OII]+[OIII])/H$β$ (R23) and [OIII]/[OII] (O32). The maps are created on a spaxel-by-spaxel basis because HII regions are not resolved at the SAMI spatial resolution. We combine the SAMI data with stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), effective radius (R$_e$), ellipticity, and position angles (PA) from the GAMA survey to analyze their relation to the metallicity and ionization parameter. We find a weak trend of steepening metallicity gradient with galaxy stellar mass, with values ranging from -0.03 to -0.20 dex/R$_e$. Only two galaxies show radial gradients in ionization parameter. We find that the ionization parameter has no significant correlation with either SFR, sSFR (specific star formation rate), or metallicity. For several individual galaxies we find structure in the ionization parameter maps suggestive of spiral arm features. We find a typical ionization parameter range of $7.0 < \log(q) < 7.8$ for our galaxy sample with no significant overall structure. An ionization parameter range of this magnitude is large enough to caution the use of metallicity diagnostics which have not considered the effects of a varying ionization parameter distribution.
