摘要:

我们提供了新的限制银河系的化学动力学模型,通过测量径向和垂直的化学梯度的元素镁,铝,硅,钛,铁在银河系盘和梯度变化的函数,从银河系平面($Z$)的距离。我们从RAVE数据库中选择了一个巨星样本,其重力标准为1.7 $<$ log g $<$ 2.8。我们使用基于Besan \c con模型的Galaxia代码创建了一个RAVE模拟样本,并选择了相应的模拟样本将模型与观察到的数据进行比较。我们测量了径向梯度和垂直梯度作为距离银河平面$Z$的函数,以研究它们在银河圆盘上的变化。RAVE样品在接近银道面($|Z|<0.4$ kpc)处呈现出负的$d[Fe/H]/dR=-0.054$ dex kpc $^{-1}$径向梯度,对于较大的$|Z|$,该梯度变得更平坦。其他要素遵循相同的趋势,尽管各要素之间存在一些差异。模拟样品的径向梯度与观察到的数据相当一致。梯度随$Z$的变化表明,RAVE样品的Fe径向梯度在$|Z|\lesssim0.6$ kpc范围内变化很小,然后是10 s。RAVE样品的铁垂直梯度在接近银道面时略为负值,而在$|Z|$中则变陡。模拟样品表现出铁垂直梯度,其总是比RAVE样品更陡。模拟样本还显示,相对于观测数据,[Fe/H]分布中的贫金属恒星过多。在Besan \c con模型中,这些差异可以通过减少厚盘星的数量和增加它们的平均金属丰度来减少。

英文摘要:

We provide new constraints on the chemo-dynamical models of the Milky Way by measuring the radial and vertical chemical gradients for the elements Mg, Al, Si, Ti, and Fe in the Galactic disc and the gradient variations as a function of the distance from the Galactic plane ($Z$). We selected a sample of giant stars from the RAVE database using the gravity criterium 1.7$<$log g$<$2.8. We created a RAVE mock sample with the Galaxia code based on the Besan\c con model and selected a corresponding mock sample to compare the model with the observed data. We measured the radial gradients and the vertical gradients as a function of the distance from the Galactic plane $Z$ to study their variation across the Galactic disc. The RAVE sample exhibits a negative radial gradient of $d[Fe/H]/dR=-0.054$ dex kpc$^{-1}$ close to the Galactic plane ($|Z|<0.4$ kpc) that becomes flatter for larger $|Z|$. Other elements follow the same trend although with some variations from element to element. The mock sample has radial gradients in fair agreement with the observed data. The variation of the gradients with $Z$ shows that the Fe radial gradient of the RAVE sample has little change in the range $|Z|\lesssim0.6$ kpc and then flattens. The iron vertical gradient of the RAVE sample is slightly negative close to the Galactic plane and steepens with $|Z|$. The mock sample exhibits an iron vertical gradient that is always steeper than the RAVE sample. The mock sample also shows an excess of metal-poor stars in the [Fe/H] distributions with respect to the observed data. These discrepancies can be reduced by decreasing the number of thick disc stars and increasing their average metallicity in the Besan\c con model.
