摘要:

通过叠加斯隆数字巡天的光谱,我们研究了28个位于低密度环境中的恒星形成超漫射星系(UDG)的平均性质。这些相对孤立的UDG,恒星质量为$\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot})\sim 8.57\pm0.29$,平均总恒星金属丰度[M/H]为$\sim -0.82\pm0.14$,铁金属度[Fe/H] $\sim -1.00\pm0.16$,恒星年龄$t_*\sim5.2\pm0.5$ Gyr,$α$ -增强[ $α$ /Fe] $\sim 0.24\pm0.10$,和氧丰度12+log(O/H)$\sim 8.16\pm0.06$,以及中心恒星速度色散$54\pm12$ km/s。在恒星形成速率与恒星质量的关系图上,这些UDG的位置低于从大质量螺旋星系外推的恒星形成主序,但大致遵循低表面亮度矮星系的主序。我们发现,这些恒星形成的UDG是不是特别贫金属或金属丰富的恒星质量,与附近的典型的矮星的金属丰度质量关系。利用本工作和以前研究的UDG数据,我们还发现了UDG [Mg/Fe] $\simeq-0.43(\pm0.26)$ [Fe/H] $-0.14(\pm0.40)$的[Fe/H]和镁元素增强[Mg/Fe]之间的粗略相关性。

英文摘要:

We investigate the on-average properties for 28 star-forming ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) located in low-density environments, by stacking their spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These relatively-isolated UDGs, with stellar masses of $\log_{10}(M_*/M_{\odot})\sim 8.57\pm0.29$, have the on-average total-stellar-metallicity [M/H]$\sim -0.82\pm0.14$, iron-metallicity [Fe/H]$\sim -1.00\pm0.16$, stellar age $t_*\sim5.2\pm0.5$ Gyr, $α$-enhancement [$α$/Fe]$\sim 0.24\pm0.10$, and oxygen abundance 12+log(O/H)$\sim 8.16\pm0.06$, as well as central stellar velocity dispersion $54\pm12$ km/s. On the star-formation rate versus stellar mass diagram, these UDGs are located lower than the extrapolated star-forming main sequence from the massive spirals, but roughly follow the main sequence of low-surface-brightness dwarf galaxies. We find that these star-forming UDGs are not particularly metal-poor or metal-rich for their stellar masses, as compared with the metallicity-mass relations of the nearby typical dwarfs. With the UDG data of this work and previous studies, we also find a coarse correlation between [Fe/H] and magnesium-element enhancement [Mg/Fe] for UDGs: [Mg/Fe]$\simeq-0.43(\pm0.26)$[Fe/H]$-0.14(\pm0.40)$.
