本文利用 S4G 16个近邻星系的多波段成像,量化棒长与椭率随波长的变化及其成因,为高红移棒演化研究提供波段偏移校正基线。

摘要:

棒的红移演化是盘星系动力学成熟度的重要标志。为了在不受波段偏移效应影响的情况下表征其内禀演化,有必要评估局域宇宙中棒性质如何随波长变化。我们研究了来自 Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies(S4G)的16个近邻星系在紫外、光学和中红外波段的棒性质。基于对二维光分布拟合椭圆等照度线所得的椭率和方位角轮廓,我们发现棒长度和椭率——后者常被用作棒强度的代理量——在更蓝的波段均会增大。棒在 B 波段比在3.6 μm时长9%。其椭率在 B 波段通常增加8%,且有相当大比例(>40%)的棒显示出高达35%的增幅。我们将棒长度的增加归因于棒末端存在恒星形成结:这些区域在更蓝的波段更亮,从而将棒的信号向外延伸。棒椭率的增加可能由视核球大小驱动:核球在更蓝的波段不那么显著,使棒区域内可以出现更瘦长的椭圆。另一种可能是,这与棒相关的更年轻恒星族群有关。由此产生的效应是,棒在更蓝的波长下显得更长、更细。这表明波段偏移效应十分显著,高红移研究必须对其进行校正,才能可靠评估棒性质随红移的任何内禀演化。

英文摘要:

The redshift evolution of bars is an important signpost of the dynamic maturity of disk galaxies. To characterize the intrinsic evolution safe from band-shifting effects, it is necessary to gauge how bar properties vary locally as a function of wavelength. We investigate bar properties in 16 nearby galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) at ultraviolet, optical and mid-infrared wavebands. Based on the ellipticity and position angle profiles from fitting elliptical isophotes to the two-dimensional light distribution, we find that both bar length and ellipticity - the latter often used as a proxy for bar strength - increase at bluer wavebands. Bars are 9% longer in the B-band than at 3.6 um. Their ellipticity increases typically by 8% in the B-band, with a significant fraction (>40%) displaying an increase up to 35%. We attribute the increase in bar length to the presence of star forming knots at the end of bars: these regions are brighter in bluer bands, stretching the bar signature further out. The increase in bar ellipticity could be driven by the apparent bulge size: the bulge is less prominent at bluer bands, allowing for thinner ellipses within the bar region. Alternatively, it could be due to younger stellar populations associated to the bar. The resulting effect is that bars appear longer and thinner at bluer wavebands. This indicates that band-shifting effects are significant and need to be corrected for high-redshift studies to reliably gauge any intrinsic evolution of the bar properties with redshift.
