银河系中心周围的Miras

Miras around the Galactic Center

Noriyuki Matsunaga, IRSF/SIRIUS team

摘要:

我们报告的结果,我们的近红外线调查的变量在一个领域的20弧分30弧分对银河系中心(GC),在那里我们发现了1364个长周期的变量。我们建立了一种利用JHKs波段的周期-光度关系同时估计距离和距离的方法。我们的方法适用于Miras的周期在100-350天的范围内,平均震级在两个或更多的过滤器。在这里,我们讨论了143 Miras的距离和间距的基础上获得的周期和H-和KS-波段的幅度。我们发现几乎所有的星系都位于相同的距离上,在我们的精度范围内,GC的距离模估计为14.58 ± 0.02 ± 0.11等,前者对应于统计误差,后者对应于系统误差,其中包括我们假设的LMC距离模(18.45 ± 0.05等)的不确定性。我们还讨论了大的和高度可变的灭绝对GC。

英文摘要:

We report results of our near-IR survey for variables in a field of view of 20 arcmin by 30 arcmin towards the Galactic Center (GC), where we detected 1364 long-period variables. We have established a method for the simultaneous estimation of distances and extinctions using the period-luminosity relations for the JHKs bands. Our method is applicable to Miras with periods in the range 100-350 days and mean magnitudes available in two or more filters. Here we discuss 143 Miras whose distances and extinctions were obtained based on their periods and H- and Ks-band magnitudes. We find that almost all of them are located at the same distance to within our accuracy, and the distance modulus of the GC is estimated to be 14.58+-0.02+-0.11 mag. The former error corresponds to the statistical error and the latter to the systematic one which includes the uncertainty of our assumed distance modulus of the LMC (18.45+-0.05 mag). We also discuss the large and highly variable extinction towards the GC.
