三个M81群矮星系中的红变星

Red Variable Stars in Three M81 Group Dwarf Galaxies

T. J. Davidge

摘要:

档案[3.6]和[4.5]的图像被用来识别和描述麦哲伦型星系Holmberg II、NGC 2366和IC 2574中的变星。利用参数和非参数检测方法,共发现74个确认或疑似的长周期变星(LPV),它们在NGC 2366和IC 2574中的周期分布相似。虽然Ho II的LPV的周期分布不确定,但与NGC 2366和IC 2574相比,周期在550和650天之间的LPV似乎有所不足。LPV在天空中弥散分布,并不像预期的那样,遵循未解析恒星发出的潜在光,如果在过去几百万年内的恒星形成事件发生在整个星系中,包括它们的外部区域。根据周期光度关系(PLR)计算的Ho II和NGC 2366的距离与基于红巨星分支(RGB)尖端的距离在0.1星等以内。尽管长周期末端的PLR与从RGB尖端估计的距离一致,但由于周期约为600天的LPV中存在第一泛音衰减器,估计IC 2574的基于LPV的距离模量的努力变得复杂。除了LPV之外,还确定了10个候选sgB[e]或亮蓝变星和2个候选红超巨星变星。九颗没有显示出变化证据的候选sgB[e]星也根据它们在色星等图中的位置被识别出来。

英文摘要:

Archival [3.6] and [4.5] images are used to identify and characterize variable stars in the Magellanic-type galaxies Holmberg II, NGC 2366, and IC 2574. Using parametric and non-parametric detection methods, 74 confirmed or suspected long period variables (LPVs) are found. The period distributions of the LPVs in NGC 2366 and IC 2574 are similar. While the period distribution of LPVs in Ho II is uncertain due to small number statistics there appears to be a deficiency of LPVs with periods between 550 and 650 days when compared with NGC 2366 and IC 2574. The LPVs are diffusely distributed on the sky, and do not follow the underlying light from unresolved stars, as expected if episodes of star formation within the past few hundred Myr have occurred throughout the galaxies, including their outer regions. Distances computed for Ho II and NGC 2366 from the period-luminosity relations (PLRs) agree to within ~0.1 magnitudes with those based on the tip of the red giant branch (RGB). Efforts to estimate an LPV-based distance modulus for IC 2574 are complicated by the presence of first overtone pulsators among LPVs with periods ~ 600 days, although the PLR at the long period end is consistent with the distance estimated from the RGB-tip. In addition to the LPVs, 10 candidate sgB[e] or luminous blue variables and 2 candidate red supergiant variables are also identified. Nine candidate sgB[e] stars that do not show evidence of variability are also identified based on their locations in the color-magnitude diagram.
