摘要:

我们测量了球状星团NGC 2808、3201、4372、4833、5927和5986的绝对自行。自行是依巴谷系统,他们是第一次确定这些低银河系纬度集群。自行的不确定性范围为0.3至0.5质量/年。结果表明:(1)富金属团簇NGC5927在动力学上属于厚盘;(2)其余贫金属团簇具有高偏心率的低能轨道;其中,似乎有两个"对"的动态关联的集群,3)在我们的样本中最具活力的集群,NGC 3201是在一个高度逆行的轨道上--这已经从它的径向速度推测出来了--离心距离为22 kpc,4)没有一个贫金属的星系团似乎与最近探测到的SDSS流或麒麟座结构有关。这些是南方自行计划(SPM)的第一批结果,其中第二个历元的观测是用最近安装在阿根廷El Leoncito的双天体照相机上的CCD照相机系统进行的。

英文摘要:

We have measured the absolute proper motions of globular clusters NGC 2808, 3201, 4372, 4833, 5927 and 5986. The proper motions are on the Hipparcos system and they are the first determinations ever made for these low Galactic latitude clusters. The proper motion uncertainties range from 0.3 to 0.5 mas/yr. The inferred orbits indicate that 1) the single metal rich cluster in our sample, NGC 5927, dynamically belongs to the thick disk, 2) the remaining metal poor clusters have rather low-energy orbits of high eccentricity; among these, there appear to be two "pairs" of dynamically associated clusters, 3) the most energetic cluster in our sample, NGC 3201 is on a highly retrograde orbit -- which had already been surmised from its radial velocity alone -- with an apocentric distance of 22 kpc, and 4) none of the metal poor clusters appear to be associated with the recently detected SDSS streams, or with the Monoceros structure. These are the first results of the Southern Proper-Motion Program (SPM) where the second-epoch observations are taken with the CCD camera system recently installed on the double astrograph at El Leoncito, Argentina.
