银河脉泽和Milky Way圆速度

Galactic masers and the Milky Way circular velocity

Jo Bovy, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix

摘要:

在大质量恒星形成区发现的脉泽可以在六维相空间中精确定位,因此可以作为研究银河系动力学的工具。非随机轨道相位的脉泽被发现和稀疏的电流样本需要建模。在这里,我们模拟相空间分布函数的18个精确测量的银河脉泽,允许一个平均速度偏移和一般的速度色散张量相对于当地的标准休息,并占不同的先验信息。由于只知道太阳到银心的距离和太阳相对于当地静止标准的运动,脉泽数据对太阳的圆速度V_c = 246 +/-30 km/s的约束很弱。包括关于Sgr A* 自行的先验信息导致V_c = 244 +/- 13 km/s。我们不确认在限制性更强的模型中发现的V_c \approx 254 km/s的值。分析表明,最近由银心分析、GD-1星流轨道拟合和银河脉泽运动学测定的V_c值之间没有矛盾,综合估计V_c = 236 +/-11 km/s。除了动力学参数,我们发现脉泽往往发生在后远心,圆周速度滞后相的轨道。

英文摘要:

Masers found in massive star-forming regions can be located precisely in six-dimensional phase space and therefore serve as a tool for studying Milky Way dynamics. The non-random orbital phases at which the masers are found and the sparseness of current samples require modeling. Here we model the phase-space distribution function of 18 precisely measured Galactic masers, permitting a mean velocity offset and a general velocity dispersion tensor relative to their local standards of rest, and accounting for different pieces of prior information. With priors only on the Sun's distance from the Galactic Center and on its motion with respect to the local standard of rest, the maser data provide a weak constraint on the circular velocity at the Sun of V_c = 246 +/- 30 km/s. Including prior information on the proper motion of Sgr A* leads to V_c = 244 +/- 13 km/s. We do not confirm the value of V_c \approx 254 km/s found in more restrictive models. This analysis shows that there is no conflict between recent determinations of V_c from Galactic Center analyses, orbital fitting of the GD-1 stellar stream, and the kinematics of Galactic masers; a combined estimate is V_c = 236 +/- 11 km/s. Apart from the dynamical parameters, we find that masers tend to occur at post-apocenter, circular-velocity-lagging phases of their orbits.
