Abstract:
We combine samples of nearby galaxies with Herschel photometry
selected on their dust, metal, HI and stellar mass content, and
compare these to chemical evolution models in order to discriminate
between different dust sources. In a companion paper, we used an
HI-selected sample of nearby galaxies to reveal a subsample of very
gas-rich (gas fraction >80 per cent) sources with dust masses
significantly below predictions from simple chemical evolution models,
and well below Md/M* and Md/Mgas scaling relations seen in
dust and stellar-selected samples of local galaxies. We use a chemical
evolution model to explain these dust-poor, but gas-rich, sources as
well as the observed star formation rates (SFRs) and dust-to-gas
ratios. We find that (i) a delayed star formation history is required
to model the observed SFRs; (ii) inflows and outflows are required to
model the observed metallicities at low gas fractions; (iii) a reduced
contribution of dust from supernovae (SNe) is needed to explain the
dust-poor sources with high gas fractions. These dust-poor, low
stellar mass galaxies require a typical core-collapse SN to produce
0.01-0.16M☉ of dust. To match the observed dust masses at lower
gas fractions, significant grain growth is required to counteract the
reduced contribution from dust in SNe and dust destruction from SN
shocks. These findings are statistically robust, though due to
intrinsic scatter it is not always possible to find one single model
that successfully describes all the data. We also show that the
dust-to-metal ratio decreases towards lower metallicity.
Description:
The dust-selected HAPLESS (Clark et al., 2015, Cat. J/MNRAS/452/397,
C15) is a blind, volume-limited sample of 42 local (z<0.01) galaxies
detected at 250um from the H-ATLAS Phase 1 Version-3 internal data
release, covering 160 deg2 of the sky (Valiante et al.
2016MNRAS.462.3146V 2016MNRAS.462.3146V, Cat. J/MNRAS/462/3146; Bourne et al.
2016MNRAS.462.1714B 2016MNRAS.462.1714B). The HI-selected sample (HiGH, De Vis et al.,
2017MNRAS.464.4680D 2017MNRAS.464.4680D, DV17) is extracted from the same H-ATLAS area and
includes 40 unconfused HI sources identified in the HI Parkes All Sky
Survey (Barnes & Hernquist, 1992ARA&A..30..705B 1992ARA&A..30..705B; Meyer et al.,
2004MNRAS.350.1195M 2004MNRAS.350.1195M, Cat. VIII/73) and the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA
Survey (Giovanelli et al., 2005AJ....130.2598G 2005AJ....130.2598G; Haynes et al.,
2011AJ....142..170H 2011AJ....142..170H, Cat. J/AJ/142/170, Haynes et al. private
communication); 24 of these sources overlap with the HAPLESS sample.
To supplement the dust and HI-selected samples taken from H-ATLAS, we
follow C15 and DV17 and use the HRS (Boselli et al.,
2010PASP..122..261B 2010PASP..122..261B, Cat. J/PASP/122/261) which provides a (quasi-)
stellar mass-selected sample of nearby sources.
We also include results from the DGS (Madden et al.,
2013PASP..125..600M 2013PASP..125..600M) to improve our sampling of galaxies at low
stellar masses and metallicities.
