用OGLE-II红团巨星模拟银河棒

Modelling the Galactic bar using OGLE-II Red Clump Giant Stars

Nicholas J. Rattenbury, Shude Mao, Takahiro Sumi, Martin C. Smith

摘要:

红团巨星可以作为距离指示器来追踪银河棒的质量分布。我们使用的RCG明星从44个凸起领域的OGLE-II微透镜合作数据库,以约束分析三轴模型的银河酒吧。我们发现棒的长轴与太阳-银河系中心视线成24 - 27度角。银道面半长轴和半短轴尺度长度x_0、y_0与垂直尺度长度z_0的比值为x_0:y_0:z_0 = 10:3.5:2.6,表明银道结构比Gerhard(2002)的工作模型略长,后者给出的尺度长度比为x_0:y_0:z_0。z_0 = 10:4:3。

英文摘要:

Red clump giant stars can be used as distance indicators to trace the mass distribution of the Galactic bar. We use RCG stars from 44 bulge fields from the OGLE-II microlensing collaboration database to constrain analytic tri-axial models for the Galactic bar. We find the bar major axis is oriented at an angle of 24 - 27 degrees to the Sun-Galactic centre line-of-sight. The ratio of semi-major and semi-minor bar axis scale lengths in the Galactic plane x_0, y_0, and vertical bar scale length z_0, is x_0 : y_0 : z_0 = 10 : 3.5 : 2.6, suggesting a slightly more prolate bar structure than the working model of Gerhard (2002) which gives the scale length ratios as x_0 : y_0 : z_0 = 10 : 4 : 3 .
