银河系内外盘的异常趋势

Abundance trends in the inner and outer Galactic disk

T. Bensby, A. Alves-Brito, M. S. Oey, D. Yong, J. Meléndez

摘要:

基于高分辨率光谱获得的MIKE摄谱仪的麦哲伦望远镜,我们提出了详细的元素丰度的64颗红巨星在银河系内外盘。对于内盘样本(4-7千秒差距,从银河系中心),我们发现,薄和厚盘丰度模式的恒星存在,而银心距离超过10千秒差距,我们只找到与当地薄盘相关的化学模式,即使是远远高于银河系平面的恒星。我们的结果表明,厚盘和薄盘的相对密度与太阳附近的相对密度有显着差异,因此我们认为厚盘的径向尺度长度比薄盘的径向尺度长度短得多。厚磁盘的比例长度为L_{thick} =2.0 kpc,薄磁盘的比例长度为L_{thin} =3.8 kpc,可以更好地匹配数据。

英文摘要:

Based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan telescopes we present detailed elemental abundances for 64 red giant stars in the inner and outer Galactic disk. For the inner disk sample (4-7 kpc from the Galactic centre) we find that stars with both thin and thick disk abundance patterns are present while for Galactocentric distances beyond 10 kpc, we only find chemical patterns associated with the local thin disk, even for stars far above the Galactic plane. Our results show that the relative densities of the thick and thin disks are dramatically different from the solar neighbourhood, and we therefore suggest that the radial scale length of the thick disk is much shorter than that of the thin disk. A thick disk scale-length of L_{thick}=2.0 kpc, and L_{thin}=3.8 kpc for the thin disk, better match the data.
