迈向完全一致的Milky Way椎间盘模型- II。局部椎间盘模型和NGP区域的SDSS数据

Towards a fully consistent Milky Way disc model - II. The local disc model and SDSS data of the NGP region

Andreas Just, Shuang Gao, Simon Vidrih

摘要:

我们使用Just & Jahreiss(2010)提出的太阳邻域自洽垂直盘模型,该模型基于不同的恒星形成历史(SFR),同样适合主序星的局部运动学,以预测朝向北银河系极(NGP)的恒星数。在SDSS的滤波系统中,我们将这四种不同的模型与局部主序相结合,预测了b> 80度的NGP场中的恒星数。所有模型在F-K矮星区的拟合度都优于20%,太阳邻域的恒星数密度与观测值一致。卡方分析表明,模型A显然是首选的,系统偏差只有百分之几。模型A的SFR的特征是在10 Gyr年龄时达到最大值,并以4倍的倍数下降到现在的1.4 Msun/pc^2/Gyr。厚盘可以很好地模拟一个古老的等温简单的恒星星族。密度分布可以通过sech^(alpha_t)函数来近似。结果表明,幂律指数α_t=1.16,标度高度为800 pc,对应的垂直速度频散为45.3km/s。在太阳附近,大约6%的恒星是厚盘星。

英文摘要:

We have used the self-consistent vertical disc models of the solar neighbourhood presented in Just & Jahreiss (2010), which are based on different star formation histories (SFR) and fit the local kinematics of main sequence stars equally well, to predict star counts towards the North Galactic Pole (NGP). We combined these four different models with the local main sequence in the filter system of the SDSS and predicted the star counts in the NGP field with b>80deg. All models fit the Hess diagrams in the F-K dwarf regime better than 20 percent and the star number densities in the solar neighbourhood are consistent with the observed values. The chi^2 analysis shows that model A is clearly preferred with systematic deviations of a few percent only. The SFR of model A is characterised by a maximum at an age of 10Gyr and a decline by a factor of four to the present day value of 1.4Msun/pc^2/Gyr. The thick disc can be modelled very well by an old isothermal simple stellar population. The density profile can be approximated by a sech^(alpha_t) function. We found a power law index alpha_t=1.16 and a scale height of 800pc corresponding to a vertical velocity dispersion of 45.3km/s. About 6 percent of the stars in the solar neighbourhood are thick disc stars.
