Initial Mass Function and Galactic Chemical Evolution Models
In this contribution we focus on results from chemical evolution models for the solar neighbourhood obtained by varying the IMF. Results for galaxies of different morphological type are discussed as well. They argue against a universal IMF independent of star forming conditions.
متن کاملThe Mass-to-Light Ratio of Binary Galaxies
We report on the mass-to-light ratio determination based on a newly selected binary galaxy sample, which includes a large number of pairs whose separations exceed a few hundred kpc. The probability distributions of the projected separation and the velocity difference have been calculated considering the contamination of optical pairs, and the mass-to-light ratio has been determined based on the...
متن کاملStellar mass - to - light ratio gradients in galaxies : correlations with mass
We analyse the stellar mass-to-light ratio (M/L) gradients in a large sample of local galaxies taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, spanning a wide range of stellar masses and morphological types. As suggested by the well-known relationship between M/L values and colours, we show that M/L gradients are strongly correlated with colour gradients, which we trace to the effects of age variation...
متن کاملNuclear-to-disk Rotation Curves and Mass-to-luminosity Ratio in Galaxies
High-resolution nuclear-to-outer rotation curves for Sb, SBb, Sc, and SBc galaxies show generally a steep nuclear rise and flat rotation from the disk to halo. The high-velocity central rotation indicates massive core within bulges. Since this characteristics is common to most galaxies, the highvelocity central rotation cannot be due to a particular orientation of non-circular motion. Using the...
متن کاملEarly star formation and the evolution of the stellar initial mass function in galaxies
It has frequently been suggested in the literature that the stellar IMF in galaxies was top-heavy at early times. This would be plausible physically if the IMF depended on a mass-scale such as the Jeans mass that was higher at earlier times because of the generally higher temperatures that were present then. In this paper it is suggested, on the basis of current evidence and theory, that the IM...
