TriAnd及其姊妹星：Milky Way光环中的卫星
TriAnd and its Siblings: Satellites of Satellites in the Milky Way Halo
摘要：
我们探讨了三角座仙女座（TriAnd）在SPLASH（仙女座恒星晕的光谱和光度景观）和SEGUE（斯隆银河系理解和探索扩展）光谱调查中的过密度。SPLASH巡天中的银河系主序星显示，TriAnd超密度和最近发现的PAdAS流（Martin et al. 2014）具有共同的日心距离（D ~ 20 kpc），在天空中的位置和视线速度（V_GSR ~ 50 km/s）。类似地，从Segue 2卫星附近的SEGUE巡天中选出的A型、巨星和主序星都表明，TriAnd在这些区域很普遍，其速度和距离与Segue 2相似。PAndAS流和Segue 2卫星在位置和速度空间上与TriAnd的重合表明，这些子结构都是相关的，可能是银河系晕上的群落化石记录。在这种情况下，Segue 2卫星和PAdAS流是“卫星的卫星”，而大型的富含金属的TriAnd超密度是该集团中心的遗迹。
英文摘要：
We explore the Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) overdensity in the SPLASH (Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of Andromeda's Stellar Halo) and SEGUE (the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration) spectroscopic surveys. Milky Way main sequence turn-off stars in the SPLASH survey reveal that the TriAnd overdensity and the recently discovered PAndAS stream (Martin et al. 2014) share a common heliocentric distance (D ~ 20 kpc), position on the sky, and line-of-sight velocity (V_GSR ~ 50 km/s). Similarly, A-type, giant, and main sequence turn-off stars selected from the SEGUE survey in the vicinity of the Segue 2 satellite show that TriAnd is prevalent in these fields, with a velocity and distance similar to Segue 2. The coincidence of the PAndAS stream and Segue 2 satellite in positional and velocity space to TriAnd suggests that these substructures are all associated, and may be a fossil record of group-infall onto the Milky Way halo. In this scenario, the Segue 2 satellite and PAndAS stream are "satellites of satellites", and the large, metal-rich TriAnd overdensity is the remains of the group central.
