Titolo: | UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud | Autori: | BUSON, Lucio BETTONI, Daniela MAZZEI, Paola Galletta, G. |
Data pubblicazione: | 2015 | Rivista: | ADVANCES IN ASTRONOMY | Numero: | 2015 | Da pagina:: | 274968 | Abstract: | We want to get insight into the nature, i.e. the formation mechanism and the evolution, of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival GALEX (FUV and NUV) and SDSS images, as well as Hyperleda and NED databases, to constrain its global properties. GALEX FUV/NUV images show that UGC 7639 inner regions are composed mostly by young stellar populations. In addition, we used smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations with chemo-photometric implementation to account for its formation and evolution. UGC 7639 is an example of blue dwarf galaxy whose global properties are well matched by our multi-wavelength and multi-technique approach, that is also a suitable approach to highlight the evolution of these galaxies as a class. We found that the global properties of UGC 7639, namely its total absolute B-band magnitude, its whole spectral energy distribution (SED), and its morphology are well-matched by an encounter with a system four times more massive than our target. Moreover, the current star formation rate (SFR) of the simulated dwarf, ~0.03 M_sun yr-1, is in good agreement with our UV-based estimate. For UGC 7639, we estimated a galaxy age of 8.6 Gyr. Following our simulation, the ongoing star formation will extinguish within 1.6 Gyr, thus leaving a red dwarf galaxy. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/23099 | URL: | https://www.hindawi.com/journals/aa/2015/274968/ | ISSN: | 1687-7969 | DOI: | 10.1155/2015/274968 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015AdAst2015E...8B | Fulltext: | open |
