英文摘要 | Building on the relatively accurate star formation histories (SFHs) and metallicity evolution of 40 Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies derived from resolved color-magnitude diagram modeling, we carried out a comprehensive study of the influence of SFHs, metallicity evolution, and dust extinction on the UV-to-near-IR color-mass-to-light ratio (color-log (sic)(star)(lambda)) distributions and M-star estimation of local universe galaxies. We find that (1) the LG galaxies follow color-log (sic)(star) (lambda) relations that fall in between the ones calibrated by previous studies; (2) optical color-log (sic)(star)(lambda) relations at higher [M/H] are generally broader and steeper; (3) the SFH "concentration" does not significantly affect the color-log (sic)star(lambda) relations; (4) light-weighted ages < age >(lambda) and metallicities <[M H]>(lambda) together constrain log (sic)(star)(lambda) with uncertainties ranging from less than or similar to 0.1 dex for the near-IR up to 0.2 dex for the optical passbands; (5) metallicity evolution induces significant uncertainties to the optical but not near-IR(sic)(star)(lambda) at a given < age >(lambda) and <[M H]>(lambda); (6) the V band is the ideal luminance passband for estimating (sic)(star)(lambda) from single colors, because the combinations of (sic)(star)(V) and optical colors such as B - V and g - r exhibit the weakest systematic dependences on SFHs, metallicities, and dust extinction; and (7) without any prior assumption on SFHs, M-star is constrained with biases. less than or similar to 0.3 dex by the optical-to-near-IR SED fitting. Optical passbands alone constrain M-star with biases. less than or similar to 0.4 dex (or less than or similar to 0.6 dex) when dust extinction is fixed (or variable) in SED fitting. SED fitting with monometallic SFH models tends to underestimate M-star of real galaxies. M-star tends to be overestimated (or underestimated) at the youngest (or oldest) < age >(mass). |
