  1. Panchromatic population synthesis studies of galaxies Laura Silva (INAF-Trieste, It) Sandro Bressan (INAF-Padova, It), Gian Luigi Granato (INAF-Padova, It), Pasquale Panuzzo (INAF -Padova, It), Olga Vega (INAOE -Puebla, Mx) Outline: * Modelling UV to radio SED of galaxies with GRASIL (short summary) * Detailed analysis of galaxy SEDs with GRASIL to retrieve physical information: (1) Early-type galaxies in the Virgo cluster: NGC4435 (with SF activity ) (2) Attenuation in spiral galaxies (3) SED analysis of ULIRGs including radio

  2. (Very brief) Description of GRA(phite)SIL(icate) (Silva et al 98, Silva 99, Granato et al 00, Bressan et al 02, Silva et al 03, Panuzzo et al 03, Vega et al 05) • 3 dusty environments: dense phase ISM (star forming Molecular Clouds), diffuse phase (cirrus)  clumping of stars and dust, dusty envelopes of AGB stars • Stars are born within MCs and gradually escape as a function of their age  age-dependent extinction • Stars and dust are distributed in a bulge (King profile) + disk (double exponential profile) geometry • Radiative transfer exactly solved in MCs, with approximation in the cirrus (reasonable computing time) • Dust includes big grains, very small grains and PAHs. The emission is appropriately computed for each component • UV-to radio SEDs (continuum & nebular lines)

  3. Input SF (and metallicity) history (“classical” chemical evolution code or galaxy formation model) - - - emission from star forming MCs….. emission from cirrus (diffuse ISM).-.-.-extincted stars___ non extincted stars

  4. (1) Early-type galaxies in Virgo: SED analysis of NGC4435 Systematic spectroscopic study with Spitzer IRS of 17 Early type galaxies along the Color-Magnitude relation in Virgo Cluster (cycle 1)Aim:*Optical+MIR SED as a tool to disentangle age and metallicity in passive E where the MIR is dominated by AGB dusty envelopes. *MIR to detect also possible signs of nuclear SFResult:*13 galaxies with the 10m bump expected from AGB dusty envelopes * 4 galaxies with MIR signs of SF activity

  5. Modelling intermediate age stellar populations in the IR: accounting for AGB dusty envelopes in SSPs(Bressan, Granato, Silva 1998) The brightest stars in intermediate age (100 Myr to a few Gyrs) stellar populations are AGB stars AGB stars are embedded within dusty envelopes originated by very strong stellar winds (10-7-10-4 Mo/yr) We included the effect of AGB dusty envelopes in SSP: Spherical symmetry and vexp independent of r =(M,R,L,Z). Radiative transfer of the photospheric SED through the envelope computed with the Granato et al code.

  6. SEDs for Single Stellar Populations

  7. NO Dusty AGBs Lot of Dusty AGBs Age & Metallicity degeneracy hampers reconstructing the history of baryon assembly in the early universe, recorded in the fossil stellar populations (early type galaxies) Old & Metal Poor =Young & Metal Rich OPT:  MIR: Age Metallicity Age & metallicity Bressan, Granato, Silva 1998

  8. Degeneracy in the Optical MIR + Optical NIR Removes degeneracy Old Stellar Populations MIR emission from dusty (silicates) AGB Stars (Bressan, Granato & Silva 98) Degeneracy in the MIR

  9. 13 galaxies (76%) with a broad and spatially extended 10m emission feature 10Gyr SSP models with Z=0.008, 0.02, 0.05 SSP with 5Gyr Z=0.008 Dashed: mean outflow AGB star Dotted: C-rich star U Cam Bressan et al 2006

  10. 4 galaxies with MIR signs of SF activity: SED analysis of NGC4435 NGC4435 (5”) N4435: Circumnuclear disk (4”) source of IR emission - Interacting with NGC4438 - Opt classified LINER/HII (Ho et al 97) - MBH < 7.5e6 Msun 1/10 average MBH-L relation (Coccato et al 06)

  11. NGC4435: Direct information from MIR (5”) PAH revealed by Spitzer: 10.7m, complex at 17m (16.9 & 17.4 m), 19.07 m Known PAHs: 6.2, 7.7, 8.2, 8.6, 11.2, 11.9, 12.7, 13.5, 14.5, 15.9, 16.4 m Only low inization emission lines - [NeIII]15.5/[NeII]12.8=0.38 comparing to CLOUDY models AGN < 2%

  12. NGC4435: full SED fit (5”) • Central 5” SED (Galex, JHK, IRAC, MIPS, IRAS, radio) • Starburst + old component • Grid of models with GRASIL:* exp SFR (e-folding , age ) • * 2 phase ISM (opt depth of MCs 1, escape time scale of young stars from MCs tesc , Mmol/Mgas, disk geometry for stars and dust i=45°, dust/gas  metallicity) • Derived quantities: • Nuclear disk in a post-starburst phase: e-fold=55 Myr, age=186 Myr, SFRc= 0.089 Mo/yr, <SFR>=0.75 Mo/yr Consistent with interaction with NGC4438 (Vollmer et al 05: direct ISM-ISM interaction 100Myr ago, tidal interaction older) • M*SB=1.4% stellar mass 5” ( 0.3% total aperture stellar mass ) LSB=32% Lbol 5” ( 8% total aperture Lbol ) • No need of AGN to fit the SED consistent with MIR lines • Solar metallicity from fit of broad band SED + ionizing flux -> good agreement with observed MIR lines ([NeII], [NeIII], [ArII], [SIII]) Spitzer/IRS MCs No dust SF comp SF component Old component CIRRUS

  13. NGC4435: attenuation law Average Galactic extinction curve (adopted for dust intrinsic properties) Attenuation curve resulting from age-dependent extinction and spatial distributions of stars and dust

  14. (2) Attenuation in spiral galaxies Panuzzo et al astro-ph/0612087 b=SFR/<SFR> Analysis of a sample of GALEX NUV-selected late type galaxies (Buat et al 2005, Iglesias-Paramo et al 2006) Meurer et al 1999 UV-bright sb b=0.25 1520 A- 2310 A b=1.25 GRASIL models: geometrical age- dependent effects and intrinsic dust properties effects

  15. MW SMC • Age-dependent extinction due to MCs only, no cirrus • Sequence of models with increasing escape time scale from MCs, 0.5-64Myr • Reddest data require tesc>30Myr • No age-dependent extinction: only diffuse dust, stars smoothly distributed independently from age • Sequence of models with increasing dust content (1m polar opt depth =0.05-6.4) • MW and SMC dust composition • 2175A bump within NUV

  16. Age-dependent extinction due to MCs and cirrus • Sequence of models with increasing dust content in the cirrus and tthin=25-200 Myr • Age-dependent extinction due to cirrus only • Stars younger than tthin with smaller disk scale height than older, dust in between • Sequence of models with increasing dust content and tthin=25-200 Myr

  17. Attenuation curves MW extinction curve Only cirrus age- dependent extinction MCs+cirrus age- dependent extinction Granato et al 2000 GALFORM+GRASIL simulated galaxy catalogues Calzetti et al attenuation curve

  18. (3) SED analysis of LIRGs and ULIRGs Sample of 24 LIRGs and ULIRGs (from Condon et al 1991) observed at 22 GHz + full SED • 22 GHz data to better constrain the thermal radio emission and radio slope: • Thermal radio direct measure of SFR • Deviations from the FIR/Radio correlations and radio slope linked to the evolutionary status of a starburst (Bressan, Silva, Granato 2002) Large grid of GRASIL + AGN tori model SEDs (Granato et al 94,97) Parameters grid for SF histories Parameters grid for GRASIL Parameters grid for AGN tori
