摘要:

我们提出了一个空间分辨的HII区域的气相金属丰度,电离参数,和ISM压力图的6个本地恒星形成和面对的螺旋星系的台风计划的研究。自洽的金属丰度,电离参数,和压力地图计算同时通过一个迭代过程,以提供有用的措施,当地的化学丰度和本地化ISM属性的关系。我们通过测量减去径向金属丰度曲线的线性拟合后的剩余金属丰度偏移量$Δ$(O/H)来限制金属丰度方位角变化的存在。然而,我们发现在大多数星系的方位角变化的微弱证据,与小(平均0.03德克斯)散射。相反,星系揭示了HII区域的增强和减少的丰度被发现分布在整个磁盘。虽然螺旋图案在组织ISM中发挥了作用,但它本身并不能建立我们观察到的相对均匀的方位角变化。金属丰度的差异更可能是由与当地物理条件的强相关性驱动的。我们发现一个强大的和正相关的电离参数和当地的丰度测量的相对金属丰度偏移$Δ$(O/H),表明当地的物理条件和本地化的ISM富集之间的紧密关系。此外,我们证明了未解决的观测结果对测量的ISM属性的影响,通过重组数据立方体来模拟低分辨率(1 kpc)的观测结果,这是典型的大型IFU调查。我们发现,电离参数和ISM压力诊断的影响,分辨率的损失,使他们的测量值是相对于亚HII区域尺度上的测量值更大。

英文摘要:

We present a spatially-resolved HII region study of the gas-phase metallicity, ionization parameter, and ISM pressure maps of 6 local star-forming and face-on spiral galaxies from the TYPHOON program. Self-consistent metallicity, ionization parameter, and pressure maps are calculated simultaneously through an iterative process to provide useful measures of the local chemical abundance and its relation to localized ISM properties. We constrain the presence of azimuthal variations in metallicity by measuring the residual metallicity offset $Δ$(O/H) after subtracting the linear fits to the radial metallicity profiles. We however find weak evidence of azimuthal variations in most of the galaxies, with small (mean 0.03 dex) scatter. The galaxies instead reveal that HII regions with enhanced and reduced abundances are found distributed throughout the disk. While the spiral pattern plays a role in organizing the ISM, it alone does not establish the relatively uniform azimuthal variations we observe. Differences in the metal abundances are more likely driven by the strong correlations with the local physical conditions. We find a strong and positive correlation between the ionization parameter and the local abundances as measured by the relative metallicity offset $Δ$(O/H), indicating a tight relationship between local physical conditions and their localized enrichment of the ISM. Additionally, we demonstrate the impact of unresolved observations on the measured ISM properties by rebinning the datacubes to simulate low-resolution (1 kpc) observations, typical of large IFU surveys. We find that the ionization parameter and ISM pressure diagnostics are impacted by the loss of resolution such that their measured values are larger relative to the measured values on sub-HII region scales.
