Spatially resolved star formation histories of nearby galaxies: evidence for episodic star formation in discs
Using long-slit spectroscopy from Moran et al. (2012) we constrain the radial dependence of the recent star formation histories of nearby galaxies with stellar masses greater than 1010M⊙. By fitting stellar population models to the combination of SSFR, D4000 and HγA, we show that the star formation histories of many disk galaxies cannot be accurately represented if their star formation rates de...
متن کاملSpatially Resolved Galaxy Star Formation and its Environmental Dependence I
We use the photometric information contained in individual pixels of 44,964 (0.019 < z < 0.125 and −23.5 < Mr < −20.5) galaxies in the Fourth Data Release (DR4) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to investigate the effects of environment on galaxy star formation (SF). We use the pixel-z technique, which combines stellar population synthesis models with photometric redshift template fitting on the ...
متن کاملStar formation in young star cluster NGC 1893
We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of the star-forming region NGC 1893 to explore the effects of massive stars on low-mass star formation. Using near-infrared colours, slitless spectroscopy and narrow-band Hα photometry in the cluster region we have identified candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) distributed in a pattern from the cluster to one of the nearby nebulae Sim 129. Th...
متن کاملThe Star Formation History of NGC 6822
Images of five fields in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope in the F555W and F814W filters are presented. Three of the fields lie mostly within the central bar of NGC 6822 where most of the sites of current star formation are concentrated while two other fields sample more of the outer regions of the galaxy. Photometry for the stars in these...
متن کاملSpatially Resolved Galaxy Star Formation and its Environmental Dependence II. Effect of the Morphology-Density Relation
In this second of a series of papers on spatially resolved star formation, we investigate the impact of the density-morphology relation of galaxies on the spatial variation of star formation (SF) and its dependence on environment. We find that while a density-morphology relation is present for the sample, it cannot solely explain the observed suppression of SF in galaxies in high-density enviro...
