基于哈勃空间望远镜成像的狮子座II矮星系自行

Proper Motion of the Leo II Dwarf Galaxy Based On Hubble Space Telescope Imaging

Slawomir Piatek, Carlton Pryor, Edward W. Olszewski

摘要:

这篇文章报道了狮子座II的自行测量,狮子座II是一个矮星系,可能是银河系的卫星,基于哈勃太空望远镜和宽视场相机3的成像。测量使用紧凑的背景星系作为望远镜两个不同指向的相机两个通道的静止标准,并在每个指向的一个通道中使用类星体,从而产生六次测量的加权平均值。在赤道坐标系中测得的自行为(mu_alpha,mu_delta)=(-6.9 +-3.7,-8.7 +-3.9)mas/世纪,在银河系坐标系中测得的自行为(mu_l,mu_b)=(6.2 +-3.9,-9.2 +-3.7)mas/世纪。相对于银河系中心的隐含空间速度为(Pi,Theta,Z)=(-37 +-38,117 +-43,40 +-16)km/s,或者用银河系中心径向和切向分量表示,(V_r,V_tan)=(21.9 +-1.5,127 +-42)km/s。空间速度意味着瞬时轨道倾角为68度,95%置信区间为(66度,80度)。测量到的运动支持了狮子座II、狮子座IV、狮子座V、环形山2和球状星团环形山作为一个整体落入银河系的假设。

英文摘要:

This article reports a measurement of the proper motion of Leo II, a dwarf galaxy that is a likely satellite of the Milky Way, based on imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope and Wide Field Camera 3. The measurement uses compact background galaxies as standards of rest in both channels of the camera for two distinct pointings of the telescope and a QSO in one channel for each pointing, resulting in the weighted average of six measurements. The measured proper motion in the the equatorial coordinate system is (mu_alpha, mu_delta) = (-6.9 +- 3.7, -8.7 +- 3.9) mas/century and in the Galactic coordinate system is (mu_l, mu_b) = (6.2 +- 3.9, -9.2 +- 3.7) mas/century. The implied space velocity with respect to the Galactic center is (Pi, Theta, Z) = (-37 +- 38, 117 +- 43, 40 +- 16) km/s or, expressed in Galactocentric radial and tangential components, (V_r, V_tan) = (21.9 +- 1.5, 127 +- 42) km/s. The space velocity implies that the instantaneous orbital inclination is 68 degrees, with a 95% confidence interval of (66 deg, 80 deg). The measured motion supports the hypothesis that Leo II, Leo IV, Leo V, Crater 2, and the globular cluster Crater fell into the Milky Way as a group.
