摘要:

我们报告了NGC 2403星系的直接丰度,这是由螺旋化学丰度(CHAOS)项目观测到的。使用大双筒望远镜上的多目标双摄谱仪,我们观察到两个具有H II区域的场,其覆盖R $_g$ /R $_e$范围为0.18至2.31。32个H II区域包含至少一条极光线检测,我们总共检测到122条温度敏感的极光线。在这里,第一次,我们使用的T $_e$ -T $_e$图中的固有散射,在正交添加到测量温度的不确定性,以确定从一个不同的电离区的测量推断一个电离区的电子温度的不确定性。然后,我们使用所有可用的温度数据在H II区域内,以获得每个电离区内的加权平均温度。我们使用这种新的温度优先方法重新推导了所有混沌星系的氧丰度,我们发现梯度与Berg等人的结果一致。对于NGC 2403,我们测量到的直接氧丰度梯度为-0.09($\pm$ 0.03)dex/Re,本征色散为0.037($\pm$ 0.017)dex,N/O丰度梯度为-0.17($\pm$ 0.03)dex/Re,本征色散为0.060($\pm$ 0.018)dex。为了直接比较,我们使用Berg等人(2013)研究NGC 2403的谱线强度,发现他们重新计算的O/H和N/O梯度值与我们的一致。

英文摘要:

We report the direct abundances for the galaxy NGC 2403 as observed by the CHemical Abundances Of Spirals (CHAOS) project. Using the Multi-Object Double Spectrograph on the Large Binocular Telescope, we observe two fields with H II regions that cover an R$_g$/R$_e$ range of 0.18 to 2.31. 32 H II regions contain at least one auroral line detection, and we detect a total of 122 temperature-sensitive auroral lines. Here, for the first time, we use the intrinsic scatter in the T$_e$-T$_e$ diagrams, added in quadrature to the uncertainty on the measured temperature, to determine the uncertainty on an electron temperature inferred for one ionization zone from a measurement in a different ionization zone. We then use all available temperature data within an H II region to obtain a weighted average temperature within each ionization zone. We re-derive the oxygen abundances of all CHAOS galaxies using this new temperature prioritization method, and we find that the gradients are consistent with the results of Berg et al. (2020). For NGC 2403, we measure a direct oxygen abundance gradient of -0.09($\pm$0.03) dex/Re, with an intrinsic dispersion of 0.037($\pm$0.017) dex, and an N/O abundance gradient of -0.17($\pm$0.03) dex/Re with an intrinsic dispersion of 0.060($\pm$0.018) dex. For direct comparison, we use the line intensities from the study of NGC 2403 by Berg et al. (2013), and find their recomputed values for the O/H and N/O gradients are consistent with ours.
