摘要:

星系棒是星系演化的重要驱动力,但它们如何影响星际介质和相应的恒星形成,仍然不清楚。我们目前的模拟结果为两个酒吧星系与不同的形成机制,酒吧形成隔离或通过潮汐相互作用,考虑空间和时间变化的趋势,恒星形成。我们专注于酒吧形成的早期(<1Gyr)时代,使相互作用是明确的。选择附近的NGC 4303(孤立)和NGC 3627(相互作用历史)作为观测类似物来定制这些模拟。无论形成机制,两个模型显示出相似的内部动力学特征,虽然相互作用似乎促进外盘速度结构中的杆臂断开。这两个条形触发类似的恒星形成(79%; 66%),而相互作用也触发了更早的31%的爆发。在表面气体和恒星形成率之间的关系中观察到显着的形态依赖性。在这两种情况下,酒吧组成部分是明显最陡峭的;臂是类似的整体光盘的平均值;和臂间明显最浅。潮汐盘的一个显著特征是存在中等密度、低效率的恒星形成气体,这些气体主要局限于光盘外的潮汐碎片中。潮汐盘还表现出一个独特的趋势,径向增加的恒星形成效率和一个明确的缺乏恒星形成,坚持沿酒吧之间的中心和酒吧的两端。这些是用于识别禁止系统后交互的潜在签名。

英文摘要:

Galactic bars are important drivers of galactic evolution, and yet how they impact the interstellar medium and correspondingly star formation, remains unclear. We present simulation results for two barred galaxies with different formation mechanisms, bars formed in isolation or via a tidal interaction, to consider the spatially and temporally varying trends of star formation. We focus on the early (< 1Gyr) epoch of bar formation so that the interaction is clearly identifiable. The nearby NGC 4303 (isolated) and NGC 3627 (interaction history) are selected as observational analogues to tailor these simulations. Regardless of formation mechanism, both models show similar internal dynamical features, although the interaction appears to promote bar-arm disconnection in the outer disc velocity structure. Both bars trigger similar boosts in star formation (79%; 66%), while the interaction also triggers an earlier 31% burst. Significant morphological dependence is observed in the relation between surface gas and star formation rate. In both cases, the bar component is notably steepest; the arm is similar to the overall disc average; and the inter-arm clearly the shallowest. A distinguishable feature of the tidal disc is the presence of moderately dense, inefficiently star forming gas mostly confined to tidal debris outside the optical disc. The tidal disc also exhibits a unique trend of radially increasing star formation efficiency and a clear dearth of star formation which persists along the bar between the centre and bar ends. These are potential signatures for identifying a barred system post-interaction.
