摘要:

星际尘埃非常有效地吸收恒星光,从而形成星系的能量输出。研究不同的恒星星族对尘埃加热的影响仍然很困难,因为它需要解耦恒星和尘埃的相对几何,并涉及散射和非局部尘埃加热等复杂过程。我们的目标是限制尘埃和恒星星族在旋涡星系M81中的相对分布,并创建一个描述观测的辐射场的现实模型。在局域尺度上研究尘埃与星光的相互作用,我们希望量化年轻和年老的恒星星族对尘埃加热的贡献。我们的目标是简化这种逆辐射转移模拟的设置和模型选择,以便这可以用于附近其他星系的可比建模。我们提出了一个半自动的辐射转移建模管道,实现必要的步骤,如几何模型的建设和规范化的组件,通过优化程序。我们使用蒙特卡罗辐射转移程序SKIRT计算了星际辐射场的自洽全色模型。通过独立地观察不同的恒星星族,我们可以量化不同恒星年龄的恒星族对尘埃加热的贡献程度。我们的方法考虑了非局部加热的影响。我们得到了一个真实的正面星系M81的三维辐射转移模型。我们发现只有50.2%的尘埃加热可以归因于年轻的恒星星族。我们确认了一个紧密的相关性之间的特定的恒星形成率和加热分数的年轻恒星星族,无论是在天空投影和3D,也发现辐射转移模型的M31和M51。我们的结论是……(节略)

英文摘要:

Interstellar dust absorbs stellar light very efficiently and thus shapes the energetic output of galaxies. Studying the impact of different stellar populations on the dust heating remains hard because it requires decoupling the relative geometry of stars and dust, and involves complex processes as scattering and non-local dust heating. We aim to constrain the relative distribution of dust and stellar populations in the spiral galaxy M81 and create a realistic model of the radiation field that describes the observations. Investigating the dust-starlight interaction on local scales, we want to quantify the contribution of young and old stellar populations to the dust heating. We aim to standardise the setup and model selection of such inverse radiative transfer simulations so this can be used for comparable modelling of other nearby galaxies. We present a semi-automated radiative transfer modelling pipeline that implements the necessary steps such as the geometric model construction and the normalisation of the components through an optimisation routine. We use the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code SKIRT to calculate a self-consistent, panchromatic model of the interstellar radiation field. By looking at different stellar populations independently, we can quantify to what extent different stellar age populations contribute to the dust heating. Our method takes into account the effects of non-local heating. We obtain a realistic 3D radiative transfer model of the face-on galaxy M81. We find that only 50.2\% of the dust heating can be attributed to young stellar populations. We confirm a tight correlation between the specific star formation rate and the heating fraction by young stellar populations, both in sky projection and in 3D, also found for radiative transfer models of M31 and M51. We conclude that... (abridged)
