超薄星系是低表面亮度的星系吗?恒星形成探测器

Are superthin galaxies low surface brightness galaxies seen edge-on? The star formation probe

Ganesh Narayanan, Arunima Banerjee

摘要:

超薄星系(ST)是一种边缘在盘状星系,具有极高的平面与垂直轴比($\sim 10 - 20$),没有凸起成分,中心表面亮度在$B$波段为23等角秒($^{-2}$),与低表面亮度星系(LSB)相当。虽然ST和LSB的平均动力学,恒星和原子氢(HI)质量相似,但考虑到ST和LSB的边缘和正面方向,很难得出结论它们是否构成相同的星系群。利用MAGPHYS(Multi-WavelengthAnalysisofGalaxyPhysicalProperties)软件,采用恒星星族综合模型,对银河系物理性质多波长分析软件GALEX:FUV,NUV,SDSS:u,g,r,i,z&2MASS:J,H,Ks等10个波段的光度数据进行了SED拟合,系统地研究了ST和LSB样本的恒星形成率(SFR). LSB和ST的估计中位SFR分别为$0.4^{+2.2}_{-0.3} $ $M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$ \& $0.2^{+0.9}_{-0.2}$ $M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$。我们的计算表明,这种赤字的SFR的ST可以归因于倾斜和不透明度的影响。因此,我们得出的结论是,ST和LSB具有相同的本征SFR超过其他物理特性,这可能意味着ST只是在边缘上看到的LSB。

英文摘要:

Superthin galaxies (STs) are edge-on disc galaxies with strikingly high planar-to-vertical axes ratios of $\sim 10 - 20$ with no bulge component, and central surface brightness in $B$-band $>$ 23 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ comparable to low surface brightness galaxies (LSBs). Although STs and LSBs have similar dynamical, stellar and atomic hydrogen (HI) masses on an average, it is tricky to conclude if they constitute the same galaxy population, given the edge-on and face-on orientations of the STs and the LSBs respectively. We systematically study star formation rate (SFR) in a sample of STs and LSBs using SED fitting of photometric data in ten bands including GALEX: FUV, NUV, SDSS: u,g,r,i,z \& 2MASS: J, H, Ks using stellar population synthesis models employing the publicly-available software MAGPHYS (Multi-Wavelength Analysis of Galaxy Physical Properties). The estimated median SFRs for LSBs and STs are $0.4^{+2.2}_{-0.3} $ $M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$ \& $0.2^{+0.9}_{-0.2}$ $M_{\odot}yr^{-1}$ respectively. Our calculations indicate that this deficit in the SFR of an ST can be attributed to inclination and opacity effects. Therefore, we conclude that STs and LSBs have equal intrinsic SFR over and above other physical properties, which possibly implies that STs are just LSBs seen in edge-on.
