厚圆盘速度弥散的确定

Determining the velocity dispersion of the thick disc

Jason Sanders

摘要:

我们尝试按照Moni Bidin等人(2012)提出的方法,从一个真实的银河系分布函数中提取样本,恢复平均垂直速度和垂直速度色散作为银河系高度的函数。我们发现,对于所使用的样本量,在速度的观测误差是远远小于泊松噪声还没有占莫尼Bidin等人。我们重复大量的样本估计泊松噪声的贡献,并揭示任何系统的分析。我们发现,分散系统高估在低银河系高度和略低估在高银河系高度导致低估的梯度与银河系高度的分散。通过使用Girard等人(2006)启发的方法重复计算,揭示了系统分类的原因。这种方法恢复预期的色散更成功,特别是产生的梯度与银河系的高度,这是大约三倍,发现使用Moni Bidin等人提出的方法的色散。

英文摘要:

We attempt to recover the mean vertical velocity and vertical velocity dispersion as a function of the Galactic height for a sample drawn from a realistic Galaxy distribution function by following the method presented in Moni Bidin et al. (2012). We find that, for the sample size used, the observational error in the velocities is much smaller than the Poisson noise which has not been accounted for by Moni Bidin et al. We repeat the analysis on a large number of samples to estimate the contribution of the Poisson noise and to uncover any systematics. We find that the dispersion is systematically overestimated at low Galactic heights and slightly underestimated at high Galactic heights leading to an underestimate of the gradient of the dispersion with Galactic height. The causes of the systematics are revealed by repeating the calculation using a method inspired by Girard et al. (2006). This method recovers the expected dispersion much more successfully and in particular yields a gradient of the dispersion with Galactic height which is approximately three times that found using the method presented by Moni Bidin et al.
