圆盘星系的动力学演化

Dynamical Evolution of Disk Galaxies

J. A. Sellwood

摘要:

螺旋模式是星系演化的重要因素。在这篇评论中,我描述了如何通过经常性的瞬态螺旋图案的角动量的重新分配,导致随机的恒星速度随着时间的推移而上升,金属丰度梯度降低,并驱动大规模的湍流盘,这可能是重要的星系发电机。我还概述了一个可能的机制,螺旋不稳定性的复发和支持的证据,从太阳附近的运动学。最后,我证实,云散射单独预测当地的速度椭球被压扁,长期持有的期望相反。

英文摘要:

Spiral patterns are important agents of galaxy evolution. In this review, I describe how the redistribution of angular momentum by recurrent transient spiral patterns causes the random speeds of stars to rise over time, metallicity gradients to be reduced, and drives large-scale turbulence in the disk, which could be important for galactic dynamos. I also outline a possible mechanism for the recurrence of spiral instabilities and supporting evidence from solar neighborhood kinematics. Finally, I confirm that cloud scattering alone would predict the local velocity ellipsoid to be flattened, contrary to long-held expectations.
