晕中的恒星超密度:室女座超密度的范围

Stellar over-densities in the halo: the extent of the Virgo over-density

Stefan C. Keller, Gary S. Da Costa, Sayuri L. Prior

摘要:

我们通过结合来自RR Lyrant变量的距离信息和来自SEKBO(Keller et al.2008)和Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS)DR 6测光的投影空间信息来绘制室女座超密度的三维范围。处女座超密度被认为包括两个14.5 x 3度和10 x 3度的细丝和一个直径为3度的圆形结构。这三个特征加在一起跨越了38度的赤经和+2到-15度的赤纬。天琴座RR型变星将这两个行星特征分别置于日心距离20和17千秒差距处,投影尺寸分别为5 x 1千秒差距和3 x 1千秒差距。

英文摘要:

We map the three dimensional extent of the Virgo Over-density by combining distance information from RR Lyrae variables and projected spatial information from SEKBO (Keller et al. 2008) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR6 photometry. The Virgo Over-density is seen to comprise two filaments 14.5 x 3 degrees and 10 x 3 degrees and a circular structure 3 degrees in diameter. Together the three features span 38 degrees of right ascension and declinations of +2 to -15 degrees. RR Lyrae variables place the two filamentary features at heliocentric distances of 20 and 17 kpc respectively, with projected dimensions of 5 x 1 kpc and 3 x 1 kpc.
