用BATC和SDSS资料计算中纬恒星金属丰度分布

The stellar metallicity distribution in intermediate latitude fields with BATC and SDSS data

摘要:

利用北京-亚利桑那-台湾-康涅狄格(BATC)和斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)测光资料,采用SEDs拟合方法计算了银河系\sim 40,000颗主序星的金属丰度分布。根据这些样本星的光度金属丰度,我们发现随着离银河系中心距离的增加,金属丰度分布从富金属向贫金属转变。外晕的平均金属丰度约为1.5 \pm 0.2 dex,内晕的平均金属丰度约为1.3 \pm 0.1 dex。在0 < r \leq 5 kpc的区间内,平均金属丰度从-0.4平稳地下降到-0.8。平均金属丰度随银河经度的波动范围为4 < r \leq 8 kpc。对于薄圆盘(z \leq 2 kpc),垂直丰度梯度d[Fe/H]/dz \sim -0.21 \pm 0.05 dex kpc-1。在距离2 < z \leq 5 kpc处,厚盘星占优势,梯度约为-0.16 \pm 0.06 dex kpc-1,可以解释为在所有z能级上具有不同平均金属丰度的恒星星族的混合。晕的垂直金属丰度梯度为-0.05 \pm 0.04 dex kpc-1(z > 5 kpc)。因此,在晕中几乎没有金属丰度梯度。

英文摘要:

Based on the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric data, we adopt SEDs fitting Method to evaluate the metallicity distribution for \sim40,000 main-sequence stars in the Galaxy. According to the derived photometric metallicities of these sample stars, we find that the metallicity distribution shift from metal-rich to metal-poor with the increase of distance from the Galactic center. The mean metallicity is about of 1.5 \pm 0.2dex in the outer halo and 1.3 \pm 0.1 dex in the inner halo. The mean metallicity smoothly decreases from -0.4 to -0.8 in interval 0 < r \leq 5 kpc. The fluctuation in the mean metallicity with Galactic longitude can be found in interval 4 < r \leq 8 kpc. There is a vertical abundance gradients d[Fe/H]/dz\sim -0.21 \pm 0.05 dex kpc-1 for the thin disk (z \leq 2 kpc). At distance 2 < z \leq 5 kpc, where the thick disk stars are dominated, the gradients are about of -0.16 \pm0.06 dex kpc-1, it can be interpreted as a mixture of stellar population with different mean metallicities at all z levels. The vertical metallicity gradient is - 0.05 \pm0.04 dex kpc-1 for the halo (z > 5 kpc). So there is little or no metallicity gradient in the halo.
