摘要:

我们提出了一个2维的化学演化代码适用于银河系类型的星系,将螺旋臂的作用,在塑造方位角丰度的变化,并面对预测的行为与最近的观测采取积分场单位。在通常的质量径向分布中,我们加入了螺旋波的表面密度,并研究了它对恒星形成和元素丰度的影响。我们计算五种不同的模型:一个与方位角对称,仅取决于半径,而其他四个受到螺旋密度波的影响。在早期,螺旋密度波的印记由恒星和恒星形成的表面密度携带;相反,元素丰度模式受到的影响较小。然而,在后来的时代,模型之间的差异被稀释,由于目前的观测不确定性,变得几乎无法区分。目前,最大的差异出现在恒星形成率和/或外盘(R $\ge$ 18\,kpc)。预测的$t \le 2$ \,Gyr的方位角氧丰度模式与最近用VLT/MUSE获得的NGC 6754的观测结果相当一致

英文摘要:

We present a 2-dimensional chemical evolution code applied to a Milky Way type galaxy, incorporating the role of spiral arms in shaping azimuthal abundance variations, and confront the predicted behaviour with recent observations taken with integral field units. To the usual radial distribution of mass, we add the surface density of the spiral wave and study its effect on star formation and elemental abundances. We compute five different models: one with azimuthal symmetry which depends only on radius, while the other four are subjected to the effect of a spiral density wave. At early times, the imprint of the spiral density wave is carried by both the stellar and star formation surface densities; conversely, the elemental abundance pattern is less affected. At later epochs, however, differences among the models are diluted, becoming almost indistinguishable given current observational uncertainties. At the present time, the largest differences appear in the star formation rate and/or in the outer disc (R$\ge$ 18\,kpc). The predicted azimuthal oxygen abundance patterns for $t \le 2$\,Gyr are in reasonable agreement with recent observations obtained with VLT/MUSE for NGC 6754
