Milky Way旋转的最新测量对大麦云云轨道的影响

Implications of Recent Measurements of the Milky Way Rotation for the Orbit of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Genevieve Shattow, Abraham Loeb

摘要:

我们研究的影响,最近的银河系旋转的测量轨迹的大麦云。相对于IAU 220 km/s的标准,MW的圆周速度增加了~ 14+/-6%,这改变了推断的LMC轨道的定性性质。而不是LMC的引力不受约束,因为已经暗示了基于最近的测量其自行,我们发现,过去的轨道的LMC自然被限制在维里边界的MW,虽然仍然没有严格约束,因为在以前的估计。

英文摘要:

We examine the implications of recent measurements of the Milky Way rotation for the trajectory of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The ~ 14+/-6% increase in the MW circular velocity relative to the IAU standard of 220 km/s changes the qualitative nature of the inferred LMC orbit. Instead of the LMC being gravitationally unbound, as has been implied based on a recent measurement of its proper motion, we find that the past orbit of the LMC is naturally confined within the virial boundary of the MW, although still not as tightly bound as in previous estimates.
