摘要:

我们在这里报告的扩展HeII 4686星云发射的检测在中心区域的NGC 1569使用积分场摄谱仪MEGARA在10.4米大加那利望远镜。观测范围为12.5 arcsec × 11.3 arcsec,可见极限空间分辨率为~15 pc,光谱分辨率为R=6000,波长范围为4330- 5200埃。辐射在超级星团A(SSC-A)周围延伸了一个宽度约40 pc,直径约150 pc的半圆弧。使用巴耳末衰减量得出的Av从银河系的1.6等变化到最大值~4.5等,我们利用HeII 4686的宽特征和Av=2.3等推断了SSC-A中有124+/-11颗Wolf-Rayet(WR)星。这些WR星的电离光子率足以解释HeII 4686星云的光度。观测确定的He+和H 0电离光子总速率、它们的比率以及观测到的SSC-A中WR星的数量都与简单恒星星族模型的预测一致,其年龄为4.0+/-0.5 Myr,质量为(5.5+/-0.5 x10 ^5 Msun)。我们的观测结果加强了在SSC-B中没有WR星的情况,SSC-B是FoV中第二大质量的星团。在我们的视场中,没有其他位置的HeII 4686发射已报告从窄带成像观测包含WR星。

英文摘要:

We here report the detection of extended HeII4686 nebular emission in the central region of NGC1569 using the integral field spectrograph MEGARA at the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. The observations cover a Field of View (FoV) of 12.5 arcsec x 11.3 arcsec at seeing-limited spatial resolution of ~15 pc and at a spectral resolution of R=6000 in the wavelength range 4330--5200 Angstrom. The emission extends over a semi-circular arc of ~40 pc width and ~150 pc diameter around the super star cluster A (SSC-A). The Av derived using Balmer decrement varies from the Galactic value of 1.6 mag to a maximum of ~4.5 mag, with a mean value of 2.65+/-0.60 mag. We infer 124+/-11 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in SSC-A using the HeII4686 broad feature and Av=2.3 mag. The He+ ionizing photon rate from these WR stars is sufficient to explain the luminosity of the HeII4686 nebula. The observationally-determined total He+ and H0 ionizing photon rates, their ratio, and the observed number of WR stars in SSC-A are all consistent with the predictions of simple stellar population models at an age of 4.0+/-0.5 Myr, and mass of (5.5+/-0.5)x10^5 Msun. Our observations reinforce the absence of WR stars in SSC-B, the second most massive cluster in the FoV. None of the other locations in our FoV where HeII4686 emission has been reported from narrow-band imaging observations contain WR stars.
