关于Milky Way的化学演化

On the chemical evolution of the Milky Way

N. Prantzos

摘要:

我讨论三个不同的主题有关的化学演化的银河系(MW)。1)的MW晕的金属丰度分布,它表明,这种分布可以解析推导出的框架中的层次合并的情况下,星系形成,假设的组件子晕的化学性质类似的祖星的卫星星系的MW。2)在太阳附近的年龄金属丰度关系(AMR),我认为谨慎的数据与重要的不确定性(如年龄的不确定性,在日内瓦Kopenhaguen调查)之间的关系平均金属丰度和年龄:派生的关系被证明是系统平坦的比真实的,不应该直接比较模型。3)星盘中恒星的径向混合,这可能对各种观测值产生重要影响(AMR中的散射,金属丰度分布尾部的延伸,星盘丰度剖面的平坦化)。最近的SPH + N体模拟发现了相当大的径向混合,但只有与观测结果进行比较才能最终确定这种混合的程度。

英文摘要:

I discuss three different topics concerning the chemical evolution of the Milky Way (MW). 1) The metallicity distribution of the MW halo; it is shown that this distribution can be analytically derived in the framework of the hierarchical merging scenario for galaxy formation, assuming that the component sub-haloes had chemical properties similar to those of the progenitors of satellite galaxies of the MW. 2) The age-metallicity relationship (AMR) in the solar neighborhood; I argue for caution in deriving from data with important uncertainties (such as the age uncertainties in the Geneva-Kopenhaguen survey) a relationship between average metallicity and age: derived relationships are shown to be systematically flatter than the true ones and should not be directly compared to models. 3) The radial mixing of stars in the disk, which may have important effects on various observables (scatter in AMR, extension of the tails of the metallicity distribution, flatenning of disk abundance profiles). Recent SPH + N-body simulations find considerable radial mixing, but only comparison to observations will ultimately determine the extent of that mixing.
