正面看螺旋星系薄盘中的恒星形成

Star formation in thin disks of spiral galaxies seen face-on

V. E. Karachentseva, I. D. Karachentsev, O. G. Kashibadze

摘要:

本文给出了181个近正面观测的Sc、Scd和Sd型星系的恒星形成综合速率(SFR)和比星速率(sSFR)的估计值,它们的SFR是由GALEX巡天中的FUV通量确定的。sSFR的中位数为:Sc为-10.66 dex,Scd为-10.44 dex,Sd类型为-10.40 dex,单位为yr-1。这些星系的sSFR的平均值从低质量到巨盘平稳下降。在考虑光度误差后,比恒星形成率有0.16 dex的小宇宙变化。为了重现在13.8 Gyr宇宙时间上观测到的恒星质量,没有凸起的星系在过去的SFR必须比现在观测到的高两到三倍。

英文摘要:

Estimates of the integrated (SFR) and specific (sSFR) rates of star formation are given for 181 galaxies of later Sc, Scd, and Sd types seen almost face-on. Their SFRs were determined from FUV fluxes in the GALEX survey. The median values of the sSFR are: -10.66 dex for Sc, -10.44 dex for Scd, and -10.40 dex for Sd types in units of yr-1. The average value of the sSFR for these galaxies falls off smoothly from lowmass to giant disks. After accounting for photometric errors, the specific star formation rate has a small cosmic variation of 0.16 dex. In order to reproduce the observed stellar mass on a cosmic time of 13.8 Gyr, the galaxies without bulges viewed face-on must have had an SFR two-three times higher in the past than observed now.
