Milky Way周围早型矮星系的化学和恒星性质

Chemical and stellar properties of early-type dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way

Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans

摘要:

早型矮星(ETD)是低质量星系演化的终点,其气体供应已经熄灭。恒星形成的停止揭示了古老的恒星星族。银河系周围的矮球状和超暗星系的恒星的颜色、星等、金属丰度和丰度储存了大量信息,使人们能够非常详细地研究它们的化学性质和恒星星族。在这里,我们总结了我们目前的理解,这在过去十年中迅速发展,这要归功于大规模天体测量,光度测量和光谱测量的蓬勃发展。我们强调,原始的恒星星族在ETD提供了一个独特的实验室,以研究在小尺度上的物理条件,在时代超过z=2。我们强调观察到的多样性的恒星形成和化学富集的历史在附近的矮星。这些数据还不能完全破译,以揭示矮演化的关键过程,但第一次成功的尝试已经确定了重元素生产的地点。

英文摘要:

Early-type dwarfs (ETDs) are the end points of the evolution of low-mass galaxies whose gas supply has been extinguished. The cessation of star-formation lays bare the ancient stellar populations. A wealth of information is stored in the colours, magnitudes, metallicities and abundances of resolved stars of the dwarf spheroidal and ultra-faint galaxies around the Milky Way, allowing their chemistry and stellar populations to be studied in great detail. Here, we summarize our current understanding, which has advanced rapidly over the last decade thanks to the flourishing of large-scale astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic surveys. We emphasise that the primeval stellar populations in the ETDs provide a unique laboratory to study the physical conditions on small scales at epochs beyond z=2. We highlight the observed diversity of star-formation and chemical enrichment histories in nearby dwarfs. These data can not yet be fully deciphered to reveal the key processes in the dwarf evolution but the first successful attempts have been made to pin down the sites of heavy element production.
