摘要:

利用微透镜矮星和亚巨星研究银河系球核年龄和丰度结构的主要结果是:(1)在[Fe/H]=-1.09,-0.63,-0.20,+0.12,+0.41处有明显的金属丰度分布;(2)在[Fe/H]>0时,有35%以上的中龄到年轻恒星小于8 Gyr;(3)在3、6、8和11 Gyr前,在核球中有几次重要的恒星形成;(4)亚太阳金属丰度凸起α元素丰度趋势的“拐点”似乎位于比局部厚盘略高的[Fe/H](约0.05 - 0.1 dex)处。

英文摘要:

The four main findings about the age and abundance structure of the Milky Way bulge based on microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars are: (1) a wide metallicity distribution with distinct peaks at [Fe/H]=-1.09, -0.63, -0.20, +0.12, +0.41; (2) a high fraction of intermediate-age to young stars where at [Fe/H]>0 more than 35 % are younger than 8 Gyr, (3) several episodes of significant star formation in the bulge 3, 6, 8, and 11 Gyr ago; (4) the `knee' in the alpha-element abundance trends of the sub-solar metallicity bulge appears to be located at a slightly higher [Fe/H] (about 0.05 to 0.1 dex) than in the local thick disk.
