基于NICMOS并行成像的星系形态

Galaxy Morphology from NICMOS Parallel Imaging

Harry I. Teplitz, Jonathan P. Gardner, Eliot M. Malumuth, Sara R. Heap

摘要:

我们目前的高分辨率NICMOS图像的随机场平行于其他HST观测。我们目前的星系数达到H=24。H波段星系计数显示出良好的协议与最深的I-和K-波段计数从地面数据获得。给出了H<23的星系形态类型的分布。我们发现相对较少的不规则星系相比,从哈勃深场,我们归因于它们的蓝色,而不是形态K-校正的I-波段样本。我们的结论是,不规则星系本质上是z<1的暗蓝色星系。

英文摘要:

We present high resolution NICMOS images of random fields obtained in parallel to other HST observations. We present galaxy number counts reaching H=24. The H-band galaxy counts show good agreement with the deepest I- and K-band counts obtained from ground-based data. We present the distribution of galaxies with morphological type to H<23. We find relatively fewer irregular galaxies compared to an I-band sample from the Hubble Deep Field, which we attribute to their blue color, rather than to morphological K-corrections. We conclude that the irregulars are intrinsically faint blue galaxies at z<1.
