摘要:

我们调查了5个单年龄恒星星族的垂直金属丰度梯度0和11 Gyr之间的18 435颗矮星的样本,从交叉匹配的Tycho-Gaia天体测量解决方案(TGAS)和径向速度实验(RAVE)数据Release 5。我们发现的垂直金属丰度梯度和年龄之间的相关性,没有垂直金属丰度梯度在最年轻的人口和越来越陡峭的负垂直金属丰度梯度的老恒星星族。椎间盘平面处的金属丰度在2 - 8 Gyr之间几乎保持恒定,并且对于$8 < τ\leqslant 11$ Gyr人群,金属丰度显著降低。目前的分析还表明,金属丰度的内在分散性随着年龄的增长而稳步增加。我们讨论,我们的结果是一致的情况下,(薄)盘星形成的耀斑(薄)恒星形成盘。

英文摘要:

We investigate the vertical metallicity gradients of five mono-age stellar populations between 0 and 11 Gyr for a sample of 18 435 dwarf stars selected from the cross-matched Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) and RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 5. We find a correlation between the vertical metallicity gradients and age, with no vertical metallicity gradient in the youngest population and an increasingly steeper negative vertical metallicity gradient for the older stellar populations. The metallicity at disc plane remains almost constant between 2 and 8 Gyr, and it becomes significantly lower for the $8 < τ\leqslant 11$ Gyr population. The current analysis also reveals that the intrinsic dispersion in metallicity increases steadily with age. We discuss that our results are consistent with a scenario that (thin) disc stars formed from a flaring (thin) star-forming disc.
