背景:场中超弥散星系(UDGs)是暗淡、弥散的星系系统,由于需要光谱证认以及获取高信噪比发射线测量的难度,相关文献中对其研究较少。目的:我们对17个场中蓝色UDG候选体开展光谱研究,利用光学发射线证认其弥散特性与属性。方法:我们推导了场中UDG候选体的光谱红移$z_{\rm spec}$,随后计算了它们的有效半径$r_{\rm eff}$和中心表面亮度$\mu_{0,g}$;测量了17条光谱中的H$\alpha$和H$\beta$发射线流量,并通过线光度关系推导恒星形成率(SFR);对样本开展强制测光以获取测光流量,并对H$\alpha$积分流量进行孔径校正,将校正量传递至推导得到的SFR;利用色指数关系计算恒星质量$M_*$,估计尘埃消光并相应校正SFR;还对两个源作为巨低表面亮度星系(GLSBGs)的可能性进行了进一步检验。结果:我们证认出9个确认的UDGs,8个其他低表面亮度星系(LSBGs),其中包括1个GLSBG。我们的场UDGs的$z_{\rm spec}$范围为$0.015-0.037$,其$r_{\rm eff}$范围为$1.69-4.99$千秒差距,$\mu_{0,g}$在$24.05-24.98~{\rm mag~arcsec}^{-2}$之间;这些星系呈现低至中等的尘埃含量,V波段平均消光为0.29星等。本研究中经孔径校正后光谱证认的UDGs位于恒星形成主序上。结论:我们的结果表明,蓝色场UDGs具有异质尘埃消光的特征,且与矮LSBGs处于恒星形成率-恒星质量平面的同一区域。
英文摘要
Context. Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the field are faint, diffuse systems that remain poorly represented in the literature due to the need for spectroscopic confirmation and the difficulty of obtaining high S/N emission line measurements. Aims. We present a spectroscopic study of 17 blue UDG candidates in the field using optical emission lines to confirm their diffuse nature and properties. Methods. We derived spectroscopic redshifts($z_{\rm spec}$) for our field UDG candidates. We then computed their effective radii ($r_{\rm eff}$) and central surface brightnesses ($μ_{0,g}$). We measured the H$α$ and H$β$ emission line fluxes in the 17 spectra and derived star-formation rates (SFR) from the line-luminosity relation. We performed forced photometry on our sample to obtain photometric fluxes and applied an aperture correction on the H$α$ integrated fluxes, propagating the correction to the derived SFRs. We then computed stellar masses ($M_*$) using colour relations and estimated dust attenuation and corrected the SFRs accordingly. Two sources were further examined as potential giant low surface-brightness galaxies(GLSBGs). Results. We identify nine confirmed UDGs, eight other low surface-brightness galaxies (LSBGs), including one GLSBG. The $z_{\rm spec}$ of our field UDGs span a range of $0.015-0.037$, their $r_{\rm eff}$ spans $1.69-4.99$ kpc and $μ_{0,g}$ between $24.05-24.98~{\rm mag~arcsec}^{-2}$. Galaxies exhibit low to moderate dust content, with an average V-band attenuation of 0.29 mag. The spectroscopically confirmed UDGs presented in this work, after the aperture correction performed, lie along the star-forming main sequence. Conclusions. Our results indicate that blue field UDGs are characterised by heterogeneous dust attenuation and occupy the same region of the star formation-stellar mass plane as dwarf LSBGs.
