摘要:

利用阿帕奇点天文台星系演化实验(APOGEE)第一年的观测数据,测量了银河系在4kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc范围内的自转曲线。我们用一个轴对称运动学模型模拟了3,365颗恒星在14个磁场中的视线速度,b = 0度,从30度< l < 210度到10 kpc的距离,该模型包括了对暖示踪粒子群(σ_R ~ 35 km/s)的非对称漂移的校正。我们确定了圆速度的局部值为V_c(R_0)= 218 +/-6 km/s,并发现旋转曲线近似平坦,局部导数在-3.0 km/s/kpc和0.4 km/s/kpc之间。我们还测量了太阳在银心静止坐标系中的位置和速度,发现太阳到银心的距离为8 kpc < R_0 < 9 kpc,径向速度V_{R,sun} = -10 +/- 1 km/s,旋转速度V_{ϕ,sun} = 242^{+10}_{-3} km/s,与太阳径向速度的局部测量结果以及观测到的Sgr A* 自行非常一致。我们研究了各种系统的不确定性,发现这些不确定性仅限于百分比水平的偏移量,V_c为~2 km/s。在我们考虑的所有系统学中,我们发现V_c(R_0)< 235 km/s,置信度>99%。我们发现太阳的自转速度和当地的圆周速度之间存在26 +/- 3 km/s的偏移,这比当地测量的太阳运动12 km/s要大。这个较大的偏移量使我们的V_c值与最近声称的V_c >~ 240 km/s相一致。结合我们的结果和其他数据,我们发现银河系的暗晕质量在维里半径内为~ 8 × 10 ^{11} M_sun。

英文摘要:

We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). We model the line-of-sight velocities of 3,365 stars in fourteen fields with b = 0 deg between 30 deg < l < 210 deg out to distances of 10 kpc using an axisymmetric kinematical model that includes a correction for the asymmetric drift of the warm tracer population (σ_R ~ 35 km/s). We determine the local value of the circular velocity to be V_c(R_0) = 218 +/- 6 km/s and find that the rotation curve is approximately flat with a local derivative between -3.0 km/s/kpc and 0.4 km/s/kpc. We also measure the Sun's position and velocity in the Galactocentric rest frame, finding the distance to the Galactic center to be 8 kpc < R_0 < 9 kpc, radial velocity V_{R,sun} = -10 +/- 1 km/s, and rotational velocity V_{ϕ,sun} = 242^{+10}_{-3} km/s, in good agreement with local measurements of the Sun's radial velocity and with the observed proper motion of Sgr A*. We investigate various systematic uncertainties and find that these are limited to offsets at the percent level, ~2 km/s in V_c. Marginalizing over all the systematics that we consider, we find that V_c(R_0) < 235 km/s at >99% confidence. We find an offset between the Sun's rotational velocity and the local circular velocity of 26 +/- 3 km/s, which is larger than the locally-measured solar motion of 12 km/s. This larger offset reconciles our value for V_c with recent claims that V_c >~ 240 km/s. Combining our results with other data, we find that the Milky Way's dark-halo mass within the virial radius is ~8x10^{11} M_sun.
