利用中国国家天文台(NAOC)60/90 cm施密特望远镜在宽U波段和13个4000 ~ 10000 A的中带滤光片上获得的图像,对邻近旋涡星系M 33进行了CCD分光光度测量。从1995年9月23日至2000年8月28日,观测覆盖了M33的整个区域,总积分为39.08小时。得到了M33各区域的谱能量分布。借助演化合成模型PEGASE(Fioc & Rendez-Volmerange 1997,2000),我们计算了三种星星形成率(SFR)历史的理论SED。通过χ 2最小化方法对PEGASE和观测到的SED的模板进行最佳拟合,我们发现常数和指数递减(以下称为Exp,τ = 12 Gyr)SFR在模型和观测之间都具有良好的一致性。然后,我们得到的年龄分布(当所观察到的恒星人口开始形成)和演化历史的M33的两个模型。对于常数SFR,年龄梯度之间的中心区域和外部区域的恒星种群明显。中心区域的恒星年龄大于10 Gyr;外围区域的恒星年龄较年轻,约为7 Gyr,旋臂中最年轻的组成部分小于5 Gyr。Exp SFR给出了类似的年龄分布,但绝对年龄要小2.2 Gyr。我们的结论是,M33在其生命的大部分时间里一直在不断地形成恒星,内部的恒星群比外部早几个Gyr。
We present CCD spectrophotometry of the nearby spiral galaxy M 33 using images obtained with National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC) 60/90 cm Schmidt telescope in a broad U-band and 13 intermediate-band filters from 4000 to 10 000 A. The observations cover the whole area of M 33, with a total integration of 39.08 h from September 23, 1995 to August 28, 2000. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each area of M 33 are obtained. With the aid of an evolutionary synthesis model, PEGASE (Fioc & Rocca-Volmerange 1997, 2000), we compute theoretical SEDs for three kinds of star formation rate (SFR) histories. From best fits on templates of PEGASE and observed SEDs by the χ 2 -minimization procedure, we find that both the constant and exponentially decreasing (hereafter Exp, τ = 12 Gyr) SFR give good agreement between models and observations. We then obtain age distributions (when the observed stellar population formation began) and evolutionary histories of M 33 for the two models. For the constant SFR, an age gradient is clearly found between stellar populations of the central regions and of the outer regions. The stellar populations in its central regions are older than 10 Gyr; stars in the outer regions are younger, about 7 Gyr and the youngest components in the spiral arms are less than 5 Gyr. The Exp SFR gives a similar age distribution, but with absolute ages that are smaller by ∼2 Gyr. We conclude that M 33 has been forming stars continuously for most of its lifetime, with the interior having built up its stellar populations several Gyr earlier than the outer parts.
