Milky Way的外部区域

Outer Regions of the Milky Way

Francesca Figueras

摘要:

随着盖亚时代的开始,是时候解决导出恒星形成历史和我们银河系圆盘演化的主要挑战了。在这里,我们回顾我们目前的知识外区域的银河系盘人口。它的恒星的内容,它的结构和它的动力学和化学演化进行了总结,集中在我们缺乏了解从观测和理论的观点。我们描述了盖亚和即将到来的地基光谱调查将在未来十年提供的前所未有的数据。更详细地说,我们量化的预期精度的位置,速度和天体物理参数的一些关键示踪剂的恒星星族在银河系外盘。讨论了这些调查的未来能力,以回答关键和基本的问题,如驱动的螺旋臂和翘曲形成的机制的一些见解。银河系是我们了解盘状星系形成和演化过程的宇宙学实验室。我们在未来几十年中所学到的东西将自然地转移到河外领域。

英文摘要:

With the start of the Gaia era, the time has come to address the major challenge of deriving the star formation history and evolution of the disk of our MilkyWay. Here we review our present knowledge of the outer regions of the Milky Way disk population. Its stellar content, its structure and its dynamical and chemical evolution are summarized, focussing on our lack of understanding both from an observational and a theoretical viewpoint. We describe the unprecedented data that Gaia and the upcoming ground-based spectroscopic surveys will provide in the next decade. More in detail, we quantify the expect accuracy in position, velocity and astrophysical parameters of some of the key tracers of the stellar populations in the outer Galactic disk. Some insights on the future capability of these surveys to answer crucial and fundamental issues are discussed, such as the mechanisms driving the spiral arms and the warp formation. Our Galaxy, theMilkyWay, is our cosmological laboratory for understanding the process of formation and evolution of disk galaxies. What we learn in the next decades will be naturally transferred to the extragalactic domain.
