运动学检测的Halo流

Kinematically Detected Halo Streams

Martin C. Smith

摘要:

我们银河系的起源和演化的线索可以在我们周围恒星的运动学中找到。吸积卫星星系的残余在速度空间中产生过密度,它可以比空间过密度保持更长时间的相干性。本章回顾了一些研究,这些研究都是在附近的太阳附近和更遥远的恒星晕中寻找这些吸积遗迹的。许多观测调查已经推动了这一领域的发展,从早期的依巴谷任务,到当代的调查,如RAVE和SDSS。这个活跃的领域继续蓬勃发展,提供了许多新的发现,并将随着盖亚任务为我们银河系中的10亿颗恒星提供精确的自行而发生革命性的变化。

英文摘要:

Clues to the origins and evolution of our Galaxy can be found in the kinematics of stars around us. Remnants of accreted satellite galaxies produce over- densities in velocity-space, which can remain coherent for much longer than spatial over-densities. This chapter reviews a number of studies that have hunted for these accretion relics, both in the nearby solar-neighborhood and the more-distant stellar halo. Many observational surveys have driven this field forwards, from early work with the Hipparcos mission, to contemporary surveys like RAVE & SDSS. This active field continues to flourish, providing many new discoveries, and will be revolutionised as the Gaia mission delivers precise proper motions for a billion stars in our Galaxy.
