Abstract:
Scaling laws of dust, HI gas, and metal mass with stellar mass,
specific star formation rate, and metallicity are crucial to our
understanding of the build-up of galaxies through their enrichment
with metals and dust. In this work, we analyse how the dust and metal
content varies with specific gas mass (MHI/M*) across a diverse
sample of 423 nearby galaxies. The observed trends are interpreted
with a set of Dust and Element evolUtion modelS (DEUS) - including
stellar dust production, grain growth, and dust destruction - within a
Bayesian framework to enable a rigorous search of the multidimensional
parameter space. We find that these scaling laws for galaxies with
-1.0~<logMHI/M*~<0 can be reproduced using closed-box models with
high fractions (37-89 per cent) of supernova dust surviving a reverse
shock, relatively low grain growth efficiencies (ε=30-40), and
long dust lifetimes (1-2Gyr). The models have present-day dust masses
with similar contributions from stellar sources (50-80 per cent) and
grain growth (20-50 per cent). Over the entire lifetime of these
galaxies, the contribution from stardust (>90 per cent) outweighs the
fraction of dust grown in the interstellar medium (<10 per cent). Our
results provide an alternative for the chemical evolution models that
require extremely low supernova dust production efficiencies and short
grain growth time-scales to reproduce local scaling laws, and could
help solving the conundrum on whether or not grains can grow
efficiently in the interstellar medium.
Description:
JINGLE is a large programme on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
(JCMT) aiming to assemble dust mass measurements for a sample of 193
local galaxies and molecular gas masses for part of this sample. The
sample selection and main science goals of the JINGLE survey are
described in JINGLE Paper I (Saintonge et al. 2018MNRAS.481.3497S 2018MNRAS.481.3497S,
Cat. J/MNRAS/481/3497).
In addition to JINGLE, we have selected four nearby galaxy samples
with well-studied dust characteristics and general galaxy properties.
The first sample consists of the galaxies from the Herschel Reference
Survey (HRS; Boselli et al. 2010PASP..122..261B 2010PASP..122..261B, Cat. J/PASP/122/261),
which is a volume-limited, K-band-selected sample of 322 nearby
galaxies with distances between 15 and 25Mpc. The second sample is
composed of galaxies from the Herschel programme KINGFISH (Key
Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel;
Kennicutt et al. 2011PASP..123.1347K 2011PASP..123.1347K) that consists of 61 nearby
galaxies with distances D=<30Mpc. The third and fourth samples,
HAPLESS and HiGH, were selected from the Herschel Astrophysical
Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS; Eales et al.
2010PASP..122..499E 2010PASP..122..499E) based on their SPIRE 250µm (HAPLESS; Clark et
al. 2015MNRAS.452..397C 2015MNRAS.452..397C, Cat. J/MNRAS/452/397) and HI (HiGH; De Vis et
al. 2017MNRAS.464.4680D 2017MNRAS.464.4680D) detections, respectively.
Galaxy dust masses have been inferred from Bayesian dust spectral
energy distribution (SED) models fit to the mid-infrared to
sub-millimetre emission observed in the five samples of nearby
galaxies. In brief, the Bayesian dust SED models use the THEMIS (The
Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids, Jones et
al. 2013A&A...558A..62J 2013A&A...558A..62J, 2017A&A...602A..46J 2017A&A...602A..46J) dust model composition,
in addition to two different prescriptions for the radiation field
intensity: 1. single interstellar radiation field (ISRF) and 2.
multi-component ISRF. In this work, we rely on the dust mass
measurements inferred from the second model which relies on the
multi-component radiation field prescription from Dale et al.
(2001ApJ...549..215D 2001ApJ...549..215D).
