摘要:

本文给出了银河系0<l<360 °范围内36个高纬场的金属丰度及其随不同参数的变化。相对较短垂直距离(z<2.5 kpc)的金属丰度随银河经度呈系统性波动,类似于厚盘尺度高度的波动,这可能被解释为表明一个共同的起源,即,光盘的闪光效果。我们发现金属丰度的变化是径向距离的函数,这一建议得到了支持。在较大的垂直距离(6.5<z<9.5 kpc)处,金属丰度的变化很小,但单调。可以检测到三种不同的垂直金属丰度梯度:d[M/H]/dz=-0.22(+/-0.03),d[M/H]/dz=-0.38(+/-0.06),d[M/H]/dz=-0.08(+/-0.07)dex/kpc,分别对应于间隔z<3、3<z<5和5<z<10 kpc。由于我们的数据覆盖了整个银河系的经度间隔,因此由此产生的金属丰度梯度可以被解释为大尺度银河系的属性。第一梯度证实了在短z距离处的盘的耗散形成。较陡的梯度对应于银河系不同人口组成部分之间的过渡区域,最后,最低值提供了足够的描述内晕金属丰度梯度。

英文摘要:

We present metallicities and their variations with different parameters for 36 high-latitude fields covering Galactic longitudes 0<l<360. The metallicities for relatively short vertical distances (z<2.5 kpc) show systematic fluctuations with Galactic longitude, similar to those of the thick-disc scaleheight, which may be interpreted as indicating a common origin, viz., the flare effect of the disc. This suggestion is supported by the metallicity variations which we find as functions of radial distance. The metallicity variation at larger vertical distances (6.5<z<9.5 kpc) is small but monotonic. Three different vertical metallicity gradients could be detected: d[M/H]/dz=-0.22(+/-0.03), d[M/H]/dz=-0.38 (+/-0.06), and d[M/H]/dz=-0.08 (+/-0.07) dex/kpc for the intervals z<3, 3<z<5, and 5<z<10 kpc, respectively. Since our data cover the whole Galactic longitude interval, the resulting metallicity gradients can be interpreted as properties of the larger-scale Galaxy. The first gradient confirms the dissipational formation of the disc at short z-distances. The steeper gradient corresponds to the transition region between different population components of the Galaxy, and finally, the lowest value provides an adequate description of the inner-halo metallicity gradient.
