银河系厚盘的年龄

The age of the Galaxy's thick disk

S. Feltzing, T. Bensby

摘要:

我们讨论了太阳附近恒星盘的年龄。在回顾了各种年龄测定方法之后,我们讨论了目前对薄盘和厚盘年龄的估计。我们提出了初步的结果,运动学选择的恒星,属于薄以及厚盘。所有这些矮星和次巨星都经过了光谱学研究,我们得到了它们的元素丰度和年龄。一个普遍的结论是,在太阳附近,平均而言,厚盘比薄盘更老。然而,我们警告说,排除有效温度在6500 K左右的恒星可能会导致对厚盘中恒星完整年龄分布的偏见。

英文摘要:

We discuss the age of the stellar disks in the solar neighbourhood. After reviewing the various methods for age dating we discuss current estimates of the age of both the thin and the thick disk. We present preliminary results for kinematically-selected stars that belong to the thin as well as the thick disk. All of these dwarf and sub-giant stars have been studied spectroscopically and we have derived both elemental abundances as well as ages for them. A general conclusion is that in the solar neighbourhood, on average, the thick disk is older than the thin disk. However, we caution that the exclusion of stars with effective temperatures around 6500 K might result in a biased view on the full age distribution for the stars in the thick disk.
