摘要:

我们研究了径向氧丰度分布对非轴对称结构(酒吧/螺旋)和其他宏观参数,如质量,光学半径R25,颜色的g-r,和星系的表面亮度的可能依赖。本文考虑了来自CALIFA DR 3的盘星系样本。我们采用了表面亮度的傅立叶振幅A2作为银盘中非轴对称结构强度的定量特征,除了常用的基于哈勃分类的A,AB和B类型的形态划分。为了区分由非轴对称结构引起的局部氧丰度的变化,多参数质量-金属丰度关系被构建为参数的函数,如酒吧/螺旋图案强度,磁盘大小,颜色指数g-r的SDSS带,和中心表面亮度的磁盘。气相氧丰度梯度是通过使用R校准来确定的。我们发现,有没有显着的影响的非轴对称结构,如酒吧和/或螺旋图案的本地氧丰度和径向氧丰度梯度的盘星系。然而,具有更高质量的镓,表现出以dex/kpc为单位的更平坦的氧丰度梯度,但是对于以dex/R25为单位的氧丰度梯度,这种效应显著地不那么突出,并且当避免内部部分时几乎消失。我们表明,在星系的中心部分的氧丰度既不依赖于光学半径R25,也不依赖于颜色g-r或星系的表面亮度。相反,在星系的中心部分之外,氧丰度随着星系盘的g-r值和中心表面亮度的增加而增加。

英文摘要:

We examine the possible dependence of the radial oxygen abundance distribution on non-axisymmetrical structures (bar/spirals) and other macroscopic parameters such as the mass, the optical radius R25, the color g-r, and the surface brightness of the galaxy. A sample of disk galaxies from the CALIFA DR3 is considered. We adopted the Fourier amplitude A2 of the surface brightness as a quantitative characteristic of the strength of non-axisymmetric structures in a galactic disk, in addition to the commonly used morphologic division for A, AB, and B types based on the Hubble classification. To distinguish changes in local oxygen abundance caused by the non-axisymmetrical structures, the multiparametric mass--metallicity relation was constructed as a function of parameters such as the bar/spiral pattern strength, the disk size, color index g-r in the SDSS bands, and central surface brightness of the disk. The gas-phase oxygen abundance gradient is determined by using the R calibration. We find that there is no significant impact of the non-axisymmetric structures such as a bar and/or spiral patterns on the local oxygen abundance and radial oxygen abundance gradient of disk galaxies. Galaxies with higher mass, however, exhibit flatter oxygen abundance gradients in units of dex/kpc, but this effect is significantly less prominent for the oxygen abundance gradients in units of dex/R25 and almost disappears when the inner parts are avoided. We show that the oxygen abundance in the central part of the galaxy depends neither on the optical radius R25 nor on the color g-r or the surface brightness of the galaxy. Instead, outside the central part of the galaxy, the oxygen abundance increases with g-r value and central surface brightness of the disk.
