Milky Way螺旋臂模式

The Milky Way Spiral Arm Pattern

Peter Englmaier, Martin Pohl, Nicolai Bissantz

摘要:

利用一个真实的银河系中气体流动的动力学模型,构造了一个完整的分子(CO)气体三维分布图。这张图显示了两个突出的螺旋臂,从棒的末端开始,平滑地连接到在银河系外的氢原子中观察到的四臂螺旋图案。与以前的尝试不同,我们的新地图揭示了银河系棒区和圆盘远端的气体分布。这是第一次,我们可以跟踪气体中的旋臂,因为它们从银河系中心后面经过。

英文摘要:

A complete map of the 3D distribution of molecular (CO) gas was constructed using a realistic dynamical model of the gas flow in the barred potential of the Milky Way. The map shows two prominent spiral arms starting at the bar ends connecting smoothly to the 4-armed spiral pattern observed in the atomic hydrogen gas in the outer Galaxy. Unlike previous attempts, our new map uncovers the gas distribution in the bar region of the Galaxy and the far side of the disk. For the first time, we can follow spiral arms in gas as they pass behind the galactic centre.
