Pulsating stars in Local Group dwarf galaxies

Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez

AI总结:

本文综述本星系群矮星系中的RR Lyrae、Anomalous Cepheids和Classical Cepheids等脉动恒星,阐明其作为星族示踪体及距离、年龄、金属丰度和红化指示器的应用。

摘要:

脉动恒星之所以受到重视,是因为它们能够测定若干关键且相关的参数,例如日心距离、年龄、金属丰度梯度和红化。RR Lyrae(天琴座RR型变星)是年老的恒星示踪体;在几乎所有已搜寻过这类恒星的近邻星系中都已发现它们,只有极少数质量极低的矮星系例外。Anomalous Cepheids(异常造父变星)较为少见,但同样非常重要;根据其恒星起源的不同,它们可作为年老或中等年龄星族的指示器。Classical Cepheids(经典造父变星)只存在于年轻星族中,并且由于其绝对星等更亮,因此可以在比本星系群更远的星系中被探测到。本文对上述本星系群矮星系中的脉动恒星及其在推断宿主星系重要性质方面的一些应用进行了简明扼要的综述。

英文摘要:

The popularity of pulsating stars resides in their capacity of determining several crucial and relevant parameters such as heliocentric distances, ages, metallicity gradients and reddening. RR Lyrae stars are old stellar tracers and have been detected in nearly all nearby galaxies that have been searched for these stars, with just a few exceptions of very low mass dwarfs. Less common but also of great importance are Anomalous Cepheids, indicators of either old or intermediate-age population, depending on their stellar origin. Classical Cepheids are only found within young stellar populations, and because of their brighter absolute magnitudes, they can be detected in galaxies farther than the Local Group. This paper presents a concise review built upon the aforementioned pulsating stars in Local Group dwarf galaxies and some of their applications to infer important properties of their host galaxies.
