摘要:

我们提出了三维运动学人马座(SGR)尾随潮汐碎片在六个领域位于70-130度沿流从SGR矮星系核心。这些数据来自我们对Kapteyn选定区域的自行(PM)调查,其中我们在40 x40弧分的均匀分布的天空中测量了精确的PM到微弱的星等。我们在六个场中的四个中的后续光谱数据中确定了Sgr的径向速度特征,并将其与光谱确认的成员的平均PM相结合,根据每个场中15-64个确认的流成员推导出Sgr碎片的空间运动。这些运动学进行比较的法律和Maurisski(2010年)模型的Sgr中断的预测,我们发现合理的协议与模型预测的RV和PM沿银河系纬度。然而,有必要将静止速度当地标准Theta_LSR从其标准220 km/s向上调整到至少$232\pm14$ km/s(并可能高达$264\pm23$ km/s),以使三维模型碎片运动学与我们的测量结果相一致。令人满意的模型拟合,同时再现已知的位置,距离和径向速度趋势的Sgr潮汐流,同时显着增加Theta_LSR},只能通过增加银河系的凸起和磁盘质量,同时保持暗物质晕固定到最佳拟合值从法律和马斯基(2010)。我们推导出低分辨率的光谱丰度沿这一延伸的Sgr流,并找到一个常数[Fe/H] = -1.15(约0.5德克斯散射在每个领域-典型的矮星系人口)之间的四个领域与可靠的测量。恒定的金属丰度表明,本研究中约60度范围内的碎片都是在同一轨道上从Sgr上剥离的。

英文摘要:

We present three-dimensional kinematics of Sagittarius (Sgr) trailing tidal debris in six fields located 70-130 degrees along the stream from the Sgr dwarf galaxy core. The data are from our proper-motion (PM) survey of Kapteyn's Selected Areas, in which we have measured accurate PMs to faint magnitudes in 40x40 arcmin fields evenly spaced across the sky. The radial velocity (RV) signature of Sgr has been identified among our follow-up spectroscopic data in four of the six fields and combined with mean PMs of spectroscopically-confirmed members to derive space motions of Sgr debris based on 15-64 confirmed stream members per field. These kinematics are compared to predictions of the Law & Majewski (2010) model of Sgr disruption; we find reasonable agreement with model predictions in RVs and PMs along Galactic latitude. However, an upward adjustment of the Local Standard of Rest velocity Theta_LSR from its standard 220 km/s to at least $232\pm14$ km/s (and possibly as high as $264\pm23$ km/s) is necessary to bring 3-D model debris kinematics and our measurements into agreement. Satisfactory model fits that simultaneously reproduce known position, distance, and radial velocity trends of the Sgr tidal streams, while significantly increasing Theta_LSR}, could only be achieved by increasing the Galactic bulge and disk mass while leaving the dark matter halo fixed to the best-fit values from Law & Majewski (2010). We derive low-resolution spectroscopic abundances along this stretch of the Sgr stream and find a constant [Fe/H] = -1.15 (with ~0.5 dex scatter in each field -- typical for dwarf galaxy populations) among the four fields with reliable measurements. A constant metallicity suggests that debris along the ~60-degree span of this study was all stripped from Sgr on the same orbital passage.
