Bulge-disk decomposition of H-KPAIR sample

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a study of the bulge-to-total ratio (B/T) of a Ks-band-selected sample of 88 close major-merger pairs of galaxies (H-KPAIR), based on two-dimensional decompositions of SDSS r-band images with GALFIT.

Description

We investigate the dependence of the interaction-induced specific star formation rate enhancement (sSFR_enh_) on the B/T ratio, and the effects of this dependence on the differences between star-forming galaxies (SFGs) in spiral+spiral (S+S) and spiral+elliptical (S+E) pairs.

Of all the 132 spiral galaxies in H-KPAIR, the 44 in S+E pairs show higher B/T than those in the 44 S+S pairs, with means of B/T=0.35+/-0.05 and B/T=0.26+/-0.03, respectively. There is a strong negative dependence of sSFRenh on the B/T ratio, and only paired SFGs with B/T<0.3 show significant (>5{sigma}) enhancement. Paired SFGs in S+S pairs show a similar trend, and many disky SFGs (B/T<0.1) in S+S pairs have strong sSFR enhancements (sSFR_enh_>0.7dex).

For SFGs in S+E pairs, the sSFR has no clear B/T dependence, nor any significant enhancement in any B/T bin. Disky SFGs in S+S pairs show significant (>4{sigma}) enhancement in molecular gas content (M_H2_/M_star_), while SFGs in S+E pairs have no such enhancement in any B/T bin. No significant enhancement of the total gas content (M_gas_/M_star_) is found in any B/T bin for paired galaxies.

The star formation efficiency of either the total gas (SFE_gas_=SFR/M_gas_) or molecular gas (SFE_H2_=SFR/M_H2_) does not depend on the B/T ratio. The only significant (>4{sigma}) SFE enhancement found for paired SFGs is the SFEgas for disky SFGs in S+S pairs.
