通过积分场光谱和数值模拟研究NGC 2207/IC 2163系统,揭示了星系相互作用导致的恒星形成变化和化学丰度分布。

摘要:

我们利用成像傅里叶变换光谱仪SITELLE获得了相互作用星系系统NGC 2207/IC 2163的积分场光谱。在两个星系中检测到约1000个HII区域复合体,并利用其强光学发射线进行分析。通过BPT图和光度函数研究了其性质。我们利用一系列强线O/H指示器和校准研究了氧丰度在系统中的分布。两个星系均表现出负的银心丰度梯度,斜率为-0.015 dex/kpc。在某些指示器中观察到O/H梯度的轻微不连续性,但未见显著的方位变化。在IC 2163的臂区和非臂区之间,HII区域光度函数的斜率较浅,支持之前结论,即该星系的恒星形成过程在相互作用期间已发生变化。离子化气体的动力学揭示了扰动的速度场、NGC 2207核区的类AGN特征以及湍流或反馈驱动区域的升高速度弥散。为解释这些发现,我们使用数值算法GCD+模拟了碰撞。模拟再现了系统的关键特征,并展示了近距离经过如何驱动增强的恒星形成和局部化学富集。最后,发现两个矮星系在场中具有与它们较大对应物非常相似的系统速度,基于其形态和位置,它们可能在全局相互作用中起次要作用。

英文摘要:

We present integral field spectroscopy of the interacting galaxy system NGC 2207/IC 2163 obtained with the imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer SITELLE. Approximately 1000 HII region complexes are detected in both galaxies and analyzed using their strong optical emission lines. Their properties were studied via BPT diagrams and their luminosity function. We conducted a detailed study of the distribution of oxygen abundance across the system using a series of strong-line O/H indicators and calibrations. Both galaxies exhibit negative galactocentric abundance gradients with a slope -0.015 dex kpc$^{-1}$. There are marginal signs of discontinuities in the O/H gradients with some indicators while no significant azimuthal variations are seen. A shallower slope in the HII region luminosity function between the arm and inter-arm regions in IC 2163 is observed, supporting previous conclusion that the star formation process in this galaxy eyelids has been altered during the interaction. The kinematics of the ionised gas reveal disturbed velocity fields, AGN-like features in the nucleus of NGC 2207, and elevated velocity dispersion in turbulent or feedback-driven regions. To interpret these findings, we modeled the collision using the numerical algorithm GCD+. The simulation reproduces key features of the system and demonstrates how close passages drive enhanced star formation and localized chemical enrichment. Finally, two dwarf galaxies in the field are found to have very similar systemic velocities as their larger counterparts, and could well play a minor role in the global interaction based on their morphology and position.
