Optical Color Gradients in Star-Forming Ring Galaxies
We compute radial color gradients produced by an outwardly propagating circular wave of star formation and compare our results with color gradients observed in the classical ring galaxy, the “Cartwheel”. We invoke two independent models of star formation in the ring galaxies. The first one is the conventional density wave scenario, in which an intruder galaxy creates a radially propagating dens...
متن کاملChemical Abundance Gradients in the Star-Forming Ring Galaxies
Ring waves of star formation, propagating outwardly in the galactic disks, leave chemical abundance gradients in their wakes. We show that the relative [Fe/O] abundance gradients in ring galaxies can be used as a tool for determining the role of the SNIa explosions in their chemical enrichment. We consider two mechanisms which can create outwardly propagating star forming rings in a purely gase...
متن کاملOrigin of Color Gradients in Elliptical Galaxies
The origin of color gradients in elliptical galaxies is examined by comparing model gradients with those observed in the Hubble Deep Field. The models are constructed so as to reproduce color gradients in local elliptical galaxies either by a metallicity gradient or by an age gradient. By looking back a sequence of color gradient as a function of redshift, the age metallicity degeneracy is solv...
متن کاملOptical − Nir Color Gradients in Early Type Galaxies at Z . 1 . 0 1
Recent studies based on line indices of nearby early-type galaxies suggest that stars in the galaxies’ inner part may be younger and more metal rich than stars in the outer part. If confirmed, the finding has a profound implication for the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies, since such age gradients naturally arise if merging played an important role in their formation/evolution. As...
متن کاملMorphologies and Color Gradients of Luminous Evolved Galaxies at Z ∼ 1.5
We have examined in detail the morphologies of seven z ∼ 1.5 passively evolving luminous red galaxies using high resolution HST NICMOS and ACS imaging data. Almost all of these galaxies appear to be relaxed systems, with smooth morphologies at both rest-frame UV and visible wavelengths. Previous results from spectral synthesis modeling favors a single burst of star formation more than 1 Gyr bef...
