摘要:

我们分析了10,000星光谱调查,集中在银河系厚盘星通常2-5千秒差距,从太阳,进行了AAOmega光谱仪上的AAT。我们开发的方法进行完整性校正的调查SDSS测光的基础上,我们得到的恒星距离使用改进的等时线拟合方法,精度优于10%。我们确定了厚盘的大尺度运动学(Vphi=172 km/s和sigma(phi,r,z)=(49,51,40)km/s)和丰度性质,表明这些代表性值在太阳约3 kpc和银河平面1-3 kpc的范围内是一个公平的描述。我们确定了一个实质性的超密度的视线内的星系,金属丰度[Fe/H] -1 dex,和更高的视线速度比厚盘,局部化沿方向(l,b)=(48,-26)。这个过密度似乎接近,但比已知的武仙座-天鹰座晕过密度更接近,可能与汉弗莱斯-拉森内星系厚盘的不对称性有关。

英文摘要:

We analyse a 10,000 star spectroscopic survey, focused on Galactic thick disk stars typically 2-5 kpc from the Sun, carried out using the AAOmega Spectrograph on the AAT. We develop methods for completeness-correction of the survey based on SDSS photometry, and we derive star distances using an improved isochrone-fitting method with accuracies better than 10%. We determine the large-scale kinematic (Vphi=172 km/s and sigma(phi,r,z) = (49,51,40) km/s), and abundance properties of the thick disk, showing these representative values are a fair description within about 3 kpc of the sun, and in the range 1-3 kpc from the Galactic Plane. We identify a substantial overdensity in lines of sight towards the inner Galaxy, with metallicity [Fe/H] -1 dex, and higher line of sight velocities than the thick disk, localised along the direction (l,b)=(48,-26). This overdensity appears to be towards, but closer than, the known Hercules-Aquila halo overdensity and may be related to the Humphreys-Larsen inner galaxy thick disk asymmetry.
