摘要：

我们分析了盘加热和径向迁移的N-体模型的厚和薄的磁盘的成长盘星系。类似于薄盘模型，具有适当的非轴对称结构的星系再现观测约束径向盘加热和迁移到太阳邻域（Snhd）。厚盘的存在可以抑制非轴对称，因此与只有薄盘的模型相比，需要更高的重子物质与暗物质的比例。重子占主导地位的模型，大约太阳半径R_0的青睐，与银河系的数据。对于由内向外生长的盘，今天R_0处的厚盘恒星主要是向外迁移的。向外迁移的流体在垂直方向上是否比不迁移的流体热，取决于厚盘垂直速度弥散的径向梯度。在角动量上存在一个有效的上界，诞生于星系中心的厚盘星可以通过迁移到达这个上界，这解释了R_0以外的高α序列的衰落。我们的模型比较以及从RAVE-TGAS的Snhd运动学。对于这种比较，重要的是要考虑R ~ R_0处运动学的方位变化和测量选择函数的偏差。巨分子云对薄盘星的垂直加热只受到厚盘的轻微影响。我们的模型预测更高的垂直速度色散的最古老的恒星比发现在Snhd年龄-速度色散关系，可能是因为测量的不确定性或低估了我们的模型中的老冷星的数量。

英文摘要：

We analyse disc heating and radial migration in N-body models of growing disc galaxies with thick and thin discs. Similar to thin-disc-only models, galaxies with appropriate non-axisymmetric structures reproduce observational constraints on radial disc heating in and migration to the Solar Neighbourhood (Snhd). The presence of thick discs can suppress non-axisymmetries and thus higher baryonic-to-dark matter fractions are required than in models that only have a thin disc. Models that are baryon-dominated to roughly the Solar radius R_0 are favoured, in agreement with data for the Milky Way. For inside-out growing discs, today's thick-disc stars at R_0 are dominated by outwards migrators. Whether outwards migrators are vertically hotter than non-migrators depends on the radial gradient of the thick disc vertical velocity dispersion. There is an effective upper boundary in angular momentum that thick disc stars born in the centre of a galaxy can reach by migration, which explains the fading of the high-alpha sequence outside R_0. Our models compare well to Snhd kinematics from RAVE-TGAS. For such comparisons it is important to take into account the azimuthal variation of kinematics at R ~ R_0 and biases from survey selection functions. The vertical heating of thin disc stars by giant molecular clouds is only mildly affected by the presence of thick discs. Our models predict higher vertical velocity dispersions for the oldest stars than found in the Snhd age-velocity dispersion relation, possibly because of measurement uncertainties or an underestimation of the number of old cold stars in our models.
