摘要:

我们测量了9个低纬星系内球状星团的绝对自行,它们是NGC 6273(M 19),NGC 6284,NGC 6287,NGC 6293,NGC 6333(M 9),NGC 6342,NGC 6356,NGC 6388和NGC 6441。这是对这些星系团的首次测定。自行是通过依巴谷在ICRS上。自行误差范围在0.4和0.9质量/年之间,并占主导地位的可测量的集群成员的数量在这些地区是非常拥挤的凸起/酒吧和厚盘。这个样本包含5个贫金属([Fe/H < -1.0)和4个富金属的星系团; 7个星系团位于距离银河系中心4kpc的范围内,而剩下的两个星系团,即NGC 6356和NGC 6284位于距离银河系中心7.5kpc的隆起背景中。通过结合适当的运动与径向速度和距离,从文献中,我们得出三维速度。在许多情况下,距离的不确定性使运动学分类模糊不清。两个富金属星系团NGC 6388和NGC 6441的速度与银河系厚盘或棒中的成员不相容。它们可以被认为是银河系内部一个运动学热系统的成员。奇怪的是,这两个星系团有着相似的速度分量。再加上它们在银河系中相似的位置和奇特但相似的恒星群特征,这两个星团可能有着共同的起源。它们的速度也非常低,表明这两个星团现在处于远心点或近远心点,它们不会离开银河系内部的~4 kpc。

英文摘要:

(abridged) We have measured the absolute proper motions of nine low-latitude, inner Galaxy globular clusters, namely NGC 6273 (M 19), NGC 6284, NGC 6287, NGC 6293, NGC 6333 (M 9), NGC 6342, NGC 6356, NGC 6388 and NGC 6441. These are the first determinations ever made for these clusters. The proper motions are on the ICRS via Hipparcos. The proper-motion errors range between 0.4 and 0.9 mas/yr, and are dominated by the number of measurable cluster members in these regions which are very crowded by the bulge/bar and the thick disk. This samle contains five metal poor ([Fe/H < -1.0) and four metal rich clusters; seven clusters are located within 4 kpc from the Galactic center, while the remaining two, namely NGC 6356 and NGC 6284 are in the background of the bulge at 7.5 kpc from the Galactic center. By combining proper motions with radial velocities and distances from the literature we derive 3D velocities. In a number of cases, distance uncertainties make the kinematical classification ambiguous. The two metal rich clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441 have velocities incompatibile with membership in the thick disk or the bar of the Milky Way. They can be though of as members of a kinematically hot system in the inner Galaxy. Curiously, both clusters have similar velocity components. Together with their similar Galactic location and peculiar but similar stellar-population characteristics, these two clusters may share a common origin. Their velocities are also very low indicating that the two clusters are now at/near apocenter, and they will not leave the inner ~4 kpc of the Galaxy.
