银河系厚盘的垂直速度色散廓线
The vertical velocity dispersion profile of the Galactic thick disk
摘要:
我们提出的径向速度测量结果的770厚盘红巨星朝向南银河系极点,垂直分布从0.5千秒差距至5千秒差距相对于银河系平面。我们发现在垂直速度色散(sigma_W)的3.8+/-0.8公里/秒kpc的小梯度。更值得注意的是,我们的$σ_W$值与文献值相比很小:在垂直高度范围的中间,我们发现sigma_W(z=2kpc)=30 km/s。我们发现,没有可能的解释,这个小值的sigma_W的薄盘星的样本污染,也没有错误的假设有关的金属丰度分布和派生的距离。
英文摘要:
We present the results of radial velocity measurements of 770 thick disk red giants toward the South Galactic Pole, vertically distributed from 0.5 kpc to 5 kpc with respect to the Galactic plane. We find a small gradient in the vertical velocity dispersion (sigma_W) of 3.8+/-0.8 km/s kpc. Even more noteworthy, our values of $σ_W$ are small compared to literature values: in the middle of the vertical height range we find sigma_W(z=2kpc)=30 km/s. We found no possible explanation for this small value of sigma_W in terms of sample contamination by thin disk stars, nor by wrong assumptions regarding the metallicity distribution and the derived distances.
