摘要:

星系的演化被认为是由环境决定的。孤立的星系或贫穷星系群是研究环境影响最小的进化机制的绝佳实验室。我们提出了新的{ \it雨燕}-{ \tt UVOT}数据在六个过滤器,三个在紫外线(UV),五个孤立的星系,旨在摆脱光到他们的演变。对于我们所有的目标,我们提出了新的紫外线积分通量,其中一些也是新的UBV幅度。我们的观测使我们能够改善它们的多波长光谱能量分布,将其扩展到波长的约3个数量级。我们利用我们的光滑粒子流体动力学模拟与化学光度学实现锚定,后验,我们的目标的全球多波长特性,以深入了解他们的演变。然后,我们比较它们的演化特性与以前得出的几个星系群。我们的目标的演化是由几个旋前发生的合并驱动的,在红移范围$0.5\leq z \leq 4.5$内,与我们已经发现的星系群没有什么不同。合并形成了气体吸积的势阱,驱动了恒星形成速率和星系演化。孤立的星系至少在30亿年内不应该受到相互作用的影响。然而,最初的合并仍然在我们目标的财产上留下了签名。突出显示了由{ \it原位}吸积触发的几个再生事件。此外,当这些星系达到最大的恒星形成速率时,在它们的淬灭阶段之前,会出现小鱼形态。

英文摘要:

The galaxy evolution is believed to be conditioned by the environment. Isolated galaxies or galaxies in poor groups are an excellent laboratory to study evolutionary mechanisms where effects of the environment are minimal. We present new {\it Swift}-{\tt UVOT} data in six filters, three in the ultraviolet (UV), of five isolated galaxies aiming at shedding light into their evolution. For all of our targets we present new UV integrated fluxes and for some of them also new UBV magnitudes. Our observations allow us to improve their multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions extending it over about 3 orders of magnitude in wavelength. We exploit our smooth-particle hydro-dynamical simulations with chemo-photometric implementation anchored, a posteriori, to the global multi-wavelength properties of our targets, to give insight into their evolution. Then we compare their evolutionary properties with those previously derived for several galaxies in groups. The evolution of our targets is driven by a merger occurred several Gyrs ago, in the redshift range $0.5\leq z \leq 4.5$, not unlike what we have already found for galaxies in groups. The merger shapes the potential well where the gas is accreting driving the star formation rate and the galaxy evolution. Isolated galaxies should not have suffered from interactions for at least 3\,Gyr. However, the initial merger is still leaving its signatures on the properties of our targets. Several rejuvenation episodes, triggered by {\it in situ} accretion, are highlighted. Moreover, jelly-fish morphologies appear as these galaxies achieve their maximum star formation rate, before their quenching phase.
