摘要:

本文采用N体混合模拟方法,结合质量粒子和示踪粒子,研究了银河系盘中恒星相空间分布或速度分布在不同局部邻域中的变化。在傅立叶频谱图中确定的模式速度表明,双臂和三臂螺旋密度波,酒吧和不平衡的运动耦合在这个模拟中,与一个模式的共振躺在其他模式的共振附近。我们构建径向和切向(uv)速度分布粒子在不同的局部邻域。在这些局部速度分布中,无论盘中的位置如何,都有一个以上的团块。在一个银河系半径上观测到的速度分布特征也可以在附近的邻域(在更大和更小的半径上)看到,但平均v值发生了变化。如果一个星系团的v速度分量决定了它的恒星的平均轨道银河半径,这是可以预料的。我们发现,在速度分布的差距与螺旋臂的扭结或不连续的半径。这些间隙似乎也与林德布拉德共振与螺旋密度波,因此表示在磁盘中的不同的主导模式之间的边界。我们讨论的银河系盘的解释的基础上本地速度分布的影响。当附近有一个强大的旋臂,与观察到的半人马座臂相切,在太阳附近的内部时,从棒的外林德布拉德共振外的区域,以及与太阳-银河系中心线成45度角的棒产生的速度分布更接近于在太阳附近看到的速度分布(在较低的紫外线下呈三角形,并有一个武仙座一样的流)。

英文摘要:

An N-body hybrid simulation, integrating both massive and tracer particles, of a Galactic disk is used to study the stellar phase space distribution or velocity distributions in different local neighborhoods. Pattern speeds identified in Fourier spectrograms suggest that two-armed and three-armed spiral density waves, a bar and a lopsided motion are coupled in this simulation, with resonances of one pattern lying near resonances of other patterns. We construct radial and tangential (uv) velocity distributions from particles in different local neighborhoods. More than one clump is common in these local velocity distributions regardless of the position in the disk. Features in the velocity distribution observed at one galactic radius are also seen in nearby neighborhoods (at larger and smaller radii) but with shifted mean v values. This is expected if the v velocity component of a clump sets the mean orbital galactic radius of its stars. We find that gaps in the velocity distribution are associated with the radii of kinks or discontinuities in the spiral arms. These gaps also seem to be associated with Lindblad resonances with spiral density waves and so denote boundaries between different dominant patterns in the disk. We discuss implications for interpretations of the Milky Way disk based on local velocity distributions. Velocity distributions created from regions just outside the bar's Outer Lindblad resonance and with the bar oriented at 45 degrees from the Sun-Galactic center line more closely resemble that seen in the solar neighborhood (triangular in shape at lower uv and with a Hercules like stream) when there is a strong nearby spiral arm, consistent with the observed Centaurus Arm tangent, just interior to the solar neighborhood.
