摘要:

螺旋形恒星形成星系是复杂的天体物理学对象,其重子成分主要是由磁盘,其中大部分的恒星形成居住。盘中的金属丰度并不均匀,通常随着距离星系中心的距离而减小,即所谓的径向金属丰度梯度。径向金属丰度梯度已被成功地用于对星系形成及其化学演化设置重要的约束。本文重点讨论了不同探测器测量的径向金属丰度梯度对各种星系的影响,以及21世纪20年代天文学领域在这一领域的预期进展。

英文摘要:

Spiral star-forming galaxies are complex astrophysical objects whose baryonic component is dominated by the disk, where most of the star formation resides. The metallicity in the disk is not uniform, and it usually decreases with the distance to the galaxy center, in the so-called radial metallicity gradient. Radial metallicity gradients have been successfully used to set important constraints on galaxy formation and their chemical evolution. This paper focuses on the implications of radial metallicity gradients measured with different probes for a variety of galaxies, and on the foreseen advances in this field in the astronomical landscape of the 2020s.
