摘要:

我们分析了Gaia-ESO巡天数据(iDR 1)中5个球区约1200颗恒星的恒星参数和视向速度。我们使用VISTA变量在通过乳酸(VVV)光度法获得红化值,通过使用半经验T_eff-color校准。从金属丰度分布函数的高斯分解,我们揭示了一个明确的双峰在所有领域,组件的相对大小取决于天空中的特定位置。与以前的一些研究一致,我们发现沿短轴的温和梯度(b=-6和b=-10之间为-0.05 dex/deg),这是由富金属和贫金属组分的不同比例引起的。随着b的增加,富金属恒星的数量逐渐减少,而贫金属恒星的数量逐渐增加。的K-星等分布的富金属人口分裂成两个峰值的两个分析领域,相交的近,远分支的X形凸起结构。另外,在(1,b)=(7,-9)和(1,b)=(-10,-8)处的两个横向场呈现对比特性。在前者中,金属丰度分布主要由富含金属的恒星组成,而在后者中,它呈现出几乎相等大小的贫金属人口和中间金属人口的混合。最后,我们发现系统的差异,在每个字段的富金属和贫金属的组件之间的速度分散。我们的化学运动学分析是一致的,不同的字段到字段的恒星属于(一)富含金属的四方形/花生X形组件,棒状运动学,和(ii)贫金属更广泛的旋转结构,具有较高的速度分散,占主导地位,远离银河系平面的比例。这些第一批GES数据允许研究银河系凸出人口的详细空间依赖性,这要归功于对具有相对较高统计数据的各个领域的分析。

英文摘要:

(Abridged) We analyzed the stellar parameters and radial velocities of ~1200 stars in five bulge fields as determined from the Gaia-ESO survey data (iDR1). We use VISTA Variables in The Via Lactea (VVV) photometry to obtain reddening values by using a semi-empirical T_eff-color calibration. From a Gaussian decomposition of the metallicity distribution functions, we unveil a clear bimodality in all fields, with the relative size of components depending of the specific position on the sky. In agreement with some previous studies, we find a mild gradient along the minor axis (-0.05 dex/deg between b=-6 and b=-10) that arises from the varying proportion of metal-rich and metal-poor components. The number of metal-rich stars fades in favor of the metal-poor stars with increasing b. The K-magnitude distribution of the metal-rich population splits into two peaks for two of the analyzed fields that intersects the near and far branches of the X-shaped bulge structure. In addition, two lateral fields at (l,b)=(7,-9) and (l,b)=(-10,-8) present contrasting characteristics. In the former, the metallicity distribution is dominated by metal-rich stars, while in the latter it presents a mix of a metal-poor population and and a metal-intermediate one, of nearly equal sizes. Finally, we find systematic differences in the velocity dispersion between the metal-rich and the metal-poor components of each field. Our chemo-kinematical analysis is consistent with a varying field-to-field proportion of stars belonging to (i) a metal-rich boxy/peanut X-shaped component, with bar-like kinematics, and (ii) a metal-poor more extended rotating structure with a higher velocity dispersion that dominates far from the Galactic plane. These first GES data allow studying the detailed spatial dependence of the Galactic bulge populations, thanks to the analysis of individual fields with relatively high statistics.
