银河系外盘中的奇异速度--椭圆盘和螺旋结构扰动的启示
The peculiar velocities in the Galactic outer disk--hints of the elliptical disk and the perturbation of the spiral structures
摘要:
本文给出LAMOST红团星的特殊面内速度。从年轻和年老红团簇星的面内速度随银心半径的变化,我们可以识别出两种类型的特殊速度:1)两种红团簇星的径向速度在$R=9.0$ \,kpc以内为负,在kpc以上为正(表示为\emph{long-wave}模式);(2)在$R=9$ ~ 12 μ m之间,年轻红团簇星的平均视向速度比老团簇星的平均视向速度大约3 μ m $\rm s^{-1}$,kpc(表示为\emph{short-wave}模式)。我们发现旋转杆诱导的椭圆盘可以很好地解释\emph{long-wave}模的特有速度。椭圆盘的轴比约为0.8-0.95,在$R=9.24\pm0.2$ \,kpc处保持圆度,这应该是Lindblad外共振半径(OLR)的位置。采用圆周速度为238,km $\rm s^{-1}$,由OLR位置导出棒材的图形速度为$48\pm3$,km $\rm s^{-1}$ kpc $^{-1}$。另一方面,\emph{short-wave}模式可能是螺旋臂作为密度波的扰动。
英文摘要:
We present the peculiar in-plane velocities derived from the LAMOST red clump stars. From the variations of the in-plane velocity with the Galactocentric radius for the young and old red clump stars, we are able to identify two types of peculiar velocities: 1) both the two red clump populations show that the radial velocity is negative within $R=9.0$\,kpc and becomes positive beyond (denoted as the \emph{long-wave} mode); and 2) the young red clump stars show larger mean radial velocity than the old population by about 3\,km$\rm s^{-1}$ between $R=9$ and 12\,kpc (denoted as the \emph{short-wave} mode). We find that the elliptical disk induced by the rotating bar can well explain the \emph{long-wave} mode peculiar velocity. The axis ratio of the elliptical disk is around 0.8-0.95 and the disk keeps circular at $R=9.24\pm0.2$\,kpc, which should be the location of the outer Lindblad resonance radius (OLR). Adopting the circular speed of 238\,km$\rm s^{-1}$, the pattern speed of the bar is then derived as $48\pm3$\,km$\rm s^{-1}$kpc$^{-1}$ from the location of OLR. On the other hand, the \emph{short-wave} mode is likely the perturbation of the spiral arms as density waves.
