摘要:

在这里,我们提出了一个项目的第二部分,旨在解决的问题上的酒吧效应的径向分布的金属在气相中的螺旋星系的争议。在论文I中,我们提出了一个属于51个附近星系的2800多个HII区域的汇编,我们从均匀的方法推导出化学丰度和径向丰度分布。本文分析了导出的12+log(O/H)和log(N/O)的径向丰度分布,发现棒星系和非棒星系的径向丰度斜率的差异取决于星系的光度。这是由于两种类型星系的丰度梯度(dex/kpc)对光度的依赖性不同:在我们考虑的星系样本中,强棒星系在整个光度范围内的梯度似乎相当浅,而无棒星系的轮廓斜率随着光度的降低而变得陡峭。因此,我们只检测到低光度(低质量)星系(M_B >~ -19.5或M_* <~ 10^{10.4} M_sun)的斜率差异。我们讨论的光盘的演变和径向混合杆和螺旋臂引起的结果。我们的研究结果调和了以前的不一致的结果,有偏见的样本星系的光度(质量)分布,并可能通过丰度诊断。

英文摘要:

We present here the second part of a project that aims at solving the controversy on the issue of the bar effect on the radial distribution of metals in the gas-phase of spiral galaxies. In Paper I we presented a compilation of more than 2800 HII regions belonging to 51 nearby galaxies for which we derived chemical abundances and radial abundance profiles from a homogeneous methodology. In this paper we analyse the derived gas-phase radial abundance profiles of 12+log(O/H) and log(N/O), for barred and unbarred galaxies separately, and find that the differences in slope between barred and unbarred galaxies depend on galaxy luminosity. This is due to a different dependence of the abundance gradients (in dex/kpc) on luminosity for the two types of galaxies: In the galaxy sample that we consider the gradients appear to be considerably shallower for strongly barred galaxies in the whole luminosity range, while profile slopes for unbarred galaxies become steeper with decreasing luminosity. Therefore, we only detect differences in slope for the lower luminosity (lower mass) galaxies (M_B >~ -19.5 or M_* <~ 10^{10.4} M_sun). We discuss the results in terms of the disc evolution and radial mixing induced by bars and spiral arms. Our results reconcile previous discrepant findings that were biased by the luminosity (mass) distribution of the sample galaxies and possibly by the abundance diagnostics employed.
