摘要:

我们的目标是详细描述的运动学性质的老,(几个陀螺)晚型CO吸收恒星人口之间的银河系中心(GC)星团恒星。我们应用AO辅助,近红外成像和积分场光谱仪NAOS/CONICA和SINFONI在VLT。我们获得了5445颗恒星的自行,664颗恒星的三维速度,以及750颗恒星的加速度极限(在天空平面)。我们第一次检测到显着的集群旋转的意义上的一般银河系旋转自行。在3D速度分散之外,我们推导出R 0 = 8.07 +/- 0.32(stat)+/- 0.13(sys)kpc的GC的改进的统计视差。三维恒星速度的分布可以用局部麦克斯韦分布来近似。运动学建模提供反投影的3D运动学参数,包括簇的质量分布。我们发现一个上限为4%的振幅波动的相空间分布的集群恒星相比,一个统一的,球形的模型集群。使用上限加速度,我们约束的最小视线距离的平面SgrA* 的五颗恒星位于最里面的几个(投影)角秒。距离恒星群IRS 13 E 0.7“半径内的恒星并不与这群恒星一起移动,因此IRS 13 E不太可能是一个大型星团的核心。总体而言,GC晚型集群被描述为一个均匀的,各向同性的,旋转的,动态放松,相混合系统。

英文摘要:

We aim at a detailed description of the kinematic properties of the old, (several Gyrs) late-type CO-absorption star population among the Galactic centre (GC) cluster stars. We applied AO-assisted, near-infrared imaging and integral-field spectroscopy using the instruments NAOS/CONICA and SINFONI at the VLT. We obtained proper motions for 5445 stars, 3D velocities for 664 stars, and acceleration limits (in the sky plane) for 750 stars. We detect for the first time significant cluster rotation in the sense of the general Galactic rotation in proper motions. Out of the 3D velocity dispersion, we derive an improved statistical parallax for the GC of R0 = 8.07 +/- 0.32 (stat) +/- 0.13 (sys) kpc. The distribution of 3D stellar speeds can be approximated by local Maxwellian distributions. Kinematic modelling provides deprojected 3D kinematic parameters, including the mass profile of the cluster. We find an upper limit of 4% for the amplitude of fluctuations in the phase-space distribution of the cluster stars compared to a uniform, spherical model cluster. Using upper limits on accelerations, we constrain the minimum line-of-sight distances from the plane of SgrA* of five stars located within the innermost few (projected) arcsec. The stars within 0.7'' radius from the star group IRS13E do not co-move with this group, making it unlikely that IRS13E is the core of a substantial star cluster. Overall, the GC late-type cluster is described well as a uniform, isotropic, rotating, dynamically relaxed, phase-mixed system.
