On the structure of giant HII regions and HII galaxies
We review the structural properties of giant extragalactic HII regions and HII galaxies based on two dimensional hydrodynamic calculations, and propose an evolutionary sequence that accounts for their observed detailed structure. The model assumes a massive and young stellar cluster surrounded by a large collection of clouds. These are thus exposed to the most important star-formation feedback ...
متن کاملDownsizing by Shutdown in Red Galaxies
We address the origin of the ‘downsizing’ of elliptical galaxies, according to which the stars in more massive galaxies formed earlier and over a shorter period than those in less massive galaxies. We show that this could be the natural result of a shutdown of star formation in dark matter haloes above a critical mass of ∼ 1012M⊙. This is demonstrated using a semi-analytic simulation of galaxy ...
متن کاملHII Galaxies as deep cosmological probes
We re-investigated the use of the Hubble diagram to measure the cosmological constant (Λ) and the mass density of the Universe (ΩM ). We find an important focusing effect in Λ for redshifts about 3. This effect implies that the apparent magnitude of a standard candle at redshifts z=2-3 has almost no dependence on Λ for ΩM > 0.2. This means that ΩM can be measured independently of ΩΛ by targetin...
متن کاملLine temperatures and elemental abundances in HII galaxies
We present long-slit spectrophotometric observations in the red and near infrared of 12 HII galaxies. The spectral range includes the sulphur lines [SII] at λλ 6716, 6731 Å and [SIII] at λ 6312 Å and λλ 9069, 9532 Å. For all of the observed galaxies, at least three ion-weighted temperatures from forbidden auroral to nebular line ratios have been obtained and the relations between the different ...
متن کاملEvolution of the X-ray Luminosity in Young HII Galaxies
In an effort to understand the correlation between X-ray emission and present star formation rate (SFR), we obtained XMM-Newton data to estimate the X-ray luminosities of a sample of actively starforming HII galaxies. The obtained X-ray luminosities are compared to other well known tracers of star formation activity such as the far infrared and the ultraviolet luminosities. We also compare the ...
