摘要:

活动星系核影响其宿主星系演化的一种方式是通过外流去除金属含量。在这篇文章中,我们提出的结果表明,活动星系核可以有一个影响化学富集的宿主星系使用化石记录技术对CALIFA星系。我们对样本中所有星系的化学富集历史进行了分类,以确定它们的金属丰度值是否下降。我们发现,星系目前主办的活动星系核更有可能显示这种下降,在其金属含量相比,静止的样品。一旦我们将样本按它们的恒星形成状态分开,我们就会发现恒星形成星系的金属丰度不太可能下降,但当它们出现时,金属丰度会有更深的下降。这种行为可能是原始气体流入或恒星爆发引发的星系流出影响的证据,两者都可以导致金属丰度下降。

英文摘要:

One way the AGN are expected to influence the evolution of their host galaxies is by removing metal content via outflows. In this article we present results that show that AGN can have an effect on the chemical enrichment of their host galaxies using the fossil record technique on CALIFA galaxies. We classified the chemical enrichment histories of all galaxies in our sample regarding whether they show a drop in the value of their metallicity. We find that galaxies currently hosting an AGN are more likely to show this drop in their metal content compared to the quiescent sample. Once we separate the sample by their star-forming status we find that star-forming galaxies are less likely to have a drop in metallicity but have deeper decreases when these appear. This behavior could be evidence for the influence of either pristine gas inflows or galactic outflows triggered by starbursts, both of which can produce a drop in metallicity.
