摘要:

我们提出了光谱确认的“双鱼座超密度”,也被称为“结构J”,一个光度超密度的RR天琴座恒星发现的斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)在一个估计的光度距离约85千秒差距。我们测量径向速度的8个RR天琴座恒星在双鱼座。我们发现8颗恒星中有5颗的日心径向速度在-87 km/s < v < -67 km/s的狭窄范围内,这表明光度过密主要是由于一个物理关联系统,可能是一个矮星系或一个破裂星系。剩下的三颗恒星中有两颗彼此相差仅9公里/秒,但将它们确定为第二个系统还为时过早。

英文摘要:

We present spectroscopic confirmation of the "Pisces Overdensity", also known as "Structure J", a photometric overdensity of RR Lyrae stars discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at an estimated photometric distance of ~85kpc. We measure radial velocities for 8 RR Lyrae stars within Pisces. We find that 5 of the 8 stars have heliocentric radial velocities within a narrow range of -87 km/s < v < -67 km/s, suggesting that the photometric overdensity is mainly due to a physically associated system, probably a dwarf galaxy or a disrupted galaxy. Two of the remaining 3 stars differ from one another by only 9 km/s, but it would be premature to identify them as a second system.
