Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8分析了南银河半球人马座流的结构。与人马座潮汐轨道平行,但距离约10度,有另一个更暗,更贫金属流。我们提供的证据表明,这两个流遵循类似的距离梯度,但有不同的形态学特性和恒星星族。较亮的星流较宽,包含更多富含金属的恒星,并且与较暗的星流相比,具有更丰富的颜色-星等图,有多个转折点和一个突出的红色团块。根据结构性质和恒星星族混合,流的配置类似于北方的“分叉”。在南银河帽区域,有来自鲸鱼座流的潮汐碎片重叠,它穿过人马座流。使用光度和光谱数据,我们表明,蓝色离散人口主要属于人马座和蓝色水平分支恒星主要属于鲸鱼座流在这个混乱的位置在晕。
英文摘要:
The structure of the Sagittarius stream in the Southern Galactic hemisphere is analysed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8. Parallel to the Sagittarius tidal track, but ~ 10deg away, there is another fainter and more metal-poor stream. We provide evidence that the two streams follow similar distance gradients but have distinct morphological properties and stellar populations. The brighter stream is broader, contains more metal-rich stars and has a richer colour-magnitude diagram with multiple turn-offs and a prominent red clump as compared to the fainter stream. Based on the structural properties and the stellar population mix, the stream configuration is similar to the Northern "bifurcation". In the region of the South Galactic Cap, there is overlapping tidal debris from the Cetus Stream, which crosses the Sagittarius stream. Using both photometric and spectroscopic data, we show that the blue straggler population belongs mainly to Sagittarius and the blue horizontal branch stars belong mainly to the Cetus stream in this confused location in the halo.

我们对8个亮边云(BRCs)样品进行了深、宽视场近、中红外观测。补充的$Spitzer$档案数据,我们已经确定和分类44至433年轻恒星对象(YSO)与这些BRC。I类源通常位于消光较高的地方,并且比II类源相对更接近彼此,这证实了年轻的原恒星通常位于分子物质更密集的区域。另一方面,相对较老的群体,即第二类物体,在整个区域中更随机地发现,这可能是由于它们的动态演变。利用最小抽样树分析方法,我们提取了13个8个成员以上的恒星核,占YSO总数的60%。典型的核心是$\sim$,半径为0.6 pc,有些细长(长宽比为1.45),恒星密度相对较低(表面密度为60 pc $^{-2}$),由少量(35)相对年轻的源(66个I类)的YSO组成,部分嵌入(中位数$A_K$ =1.1等)。但岩心显示出其质量分布的宽范围($\sim$ 20至2400 M $_\odot$),中值约为130 M $_\odot$。我们发现,核心的恒星形成效率在3%~ 30%之间,平均为$\sim$ 14%,这与将核心质量函数与初始质量函数联系起来所需的效率是一致的。我们还发现了云的密度和YSO的数量之间的线性关系。最大的最近邻间距分布的YSO和牛仔裤长度的YSO分离的比例表明在这些BRC的非热驱动的碎片化的显着程度。
