文摘In this paper we investigate the stellar populations and star formation histories of 235 active galactic nucleus(AGN)-host dwarf galaxies,consisting of four samples identified separately with different methods(i.e.,radio,X-ray,mid-IR and variability),utilizing the synthesis code STARLIGHT and spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8.Our results show that the variability sample is the oldest,while the mid-IR sample is the youngest,for which the luminosity at 4020?is dominated(>50%)by the young population(t<10~8yr).The light-weighted mean stellar age of the whole sample is in general about 0.7 dex younger than the optical sample studied in Cai et al.We compare the population results between fitting models with and without a power-law(PL)component and find that the neglect of a PL component would lead to an under-and over-estimation by 0.2 and0.1 dex for the light-and mass-weighted mean stellar age,respectively,for our sample of dwarf galaxies,which has a mean fractional contribution of~16%from the AGN.In addition,we obtain further evidence for a possible suppression of star formation in the host galaxy by the central AGN.We also find that there exists an anticorrelation between the extinction-corrected[O III]luminosity and light-weighted mean stellar age,confirming our previous finding that there is a physical connection between AGN and star-forming activities in AGN-host dwarfs.

文摘Ⅱ型超新星是宇宙中最常见的恒星爆炸,其富氢的大质量前身星最后阶段的演变让人捉摸不透.这类恒星晚期演化和由此产生的星周环境的差异导致了超新星丰富的观测多样性.为了建立Ⅱ型超新星爆炸与大质量恒星晚期演化之间的联系,有必要捕捉超新星爆炸的第一缕光,即由激波爆发冷却产生的高能光子电离星周物质造成的闪亮光谱.近邻星系M 101中爆发的SN 2023ixf为探索这个问题提供了难得的机会.本文利用爆炸后1~5天内频繁拍摄地闪亮光谱,对这颗超新星周围物质的性质进行严格的约束.计算得出,SN 2023ixf前身星在爆炸前最后2~3年中以高达M≈6×10^(-4)M⊙a^(-1)速率损失物质.这些物质以55 km s^(-1)的速度运动,在距离前身星不到7×10^(14)cm的位置形成致密的星周物质壳层.考虑到如此高的质量损失率和相对较大的风速,以及20年前的前身星图像,SN2023ixf可能是刚从红超巨星演化而来的黄巨超巨星产生的超新星爆炸.
