银河系盘加热可能是由于球状星团的影响吗?

Could the Galactic disk heating be due to Globular Cluster impacts?

D. Vande Putte, Mark Cropper, Ignacio Ferreras

摘要:

到目前为止,已经提出了六种机制来解释银河系盘加热。其中,最重要的似乎是由分子云和螺旋臂的恒星散射的组合。我们研究了进一步的机制,即,重复磁盘的影响,原来的银河系球状星团人口到现在。我们发现球状星团最多只能贡献一小部分目前的垂直能量,因为它们可以将整个盘加热到{ $σ$ } $_{z}$ = 5.5kms $^{{\rm -} {\rm 1}}$(参见图10)。对于厚盘和薄盘分别观察到18和39 km的$^{{\rm -} {\rm 1}}$)。我们发现,磁盘热的上升率($α$ =0.22在\textit{$σ$} $_{z}$ $\sim t^α$与\textit t是时间),是接近分子云散射所发现的。

英文摘要:

So far, six mechanisms have been proposed to account for the Galactic disk heating. Of these, the most important appear to be a combination of scattering of stars by molecular clouds and by spiral arms. We study a further mechanism, namely, the repeated disk impact of the original Galactic Globular Cluster population up to the present. We find that Globular Clusters could have contributed at most a small fraction of the current vertical energy of the disk, as they could heat the whole disk to {$σ$}$_{z}$ = 5.5kms$^{{\rm -} {\rm 1}}$ (c.f. the observed 18 and 39 kms$^{{\rm -} {\rm 1}}$ for the thick and thin disks respectively). We find that the rate of rise of disk heat ($α$=0.22 in \textit{$σ$}$_{z}$ $\sim t^α$ with \textit t being time), is close to that found for scattering by molecular clouds.
