摘要:

我们目前的估计恒星年龄和质量的0.93万银河系盘主序星关闭和次巨星从LAMOST银河光谱巡天。利用LAMOST光谱推导出的有效温度$T_{\rm eff}$、绝对星等${\rm M}_V$、金属丰度[Fe/H]和$α$ -元素与铁丰度比[ $α$ /Fe],通过贝叶斯算法与恒星等时线匹配确定年龄和质量。广泛的检查表明年龄和质量估计是可靠的。整个样本星的年龄估计的中位误差为34%,年龄大于2 ',Gyr的恒星中有一半的年龄不确定度仅为20- 30%,整个样本星的质量估计的中位误差为$\sim8$ %,巨大的数据集表明恒星年龄、[Fe/H]([ $α$ /H])和[ $α$ /Fe]之间有良好的相关性。特别地,在年龄-[ $α$ /Fe]和年龄-[Fe/H]([ $α$ /H])空间中都显示出双序列特征。在[Fe/H]-[ $α$ /Fe]空间中,8- 10,Gyr的恒星同时具有薄盘和厚盘序列,而年轻(年老)的恒星仅具有薄(厚)盘序列,表明薄盘在8- 10,Gyr前开始突出,而厚盘在8,Gyr前形成较早并几乎熄灭.恒星年龄在星盘上呈现正的垂直梯度和负的径向梯度,$R\gtrsim$ 1,9,kpc的外盘在恒星年龄分布上表现出强烈的耀斑.

英文摘要:

We present estimates of stellar age and mass for 0.93 million Galactic disk main sequence turn-off and sub-giant stars from the LAMOST Galactic Spectroscopic Surveys. The ages and masses are determined by matching with stellar isochrones using Bayesian algorithm, utilizing effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$, absolute magnitude ${\rm M}_V$, metallicity [Fe/H] and $α$-element to iron abundance ratio [$α$/Fe] deduced from the LAMOST spectra. Extensive examinations suggest the age and mass estimates are robust. The overall sample stars have a median error of 34 per cent for the age estimates, and half of the stars older than 2\,Gyr have age uncertainties of only 20--30 per cent. Median error for the mass estimates of the whole sample stars is $\sim8$ per cent. The huge dataset demonstrates good correlations among stellar age, [Fe/H] ([$α$/H]) and [$α$/Fe]. Particularly, double sequence features are revealed in the both the age--[$α$/Fe] and age--[Fe/H]([$α$/H]) spaces. In the [Fe/H]--[$α$/Fe] space, stars of 8--10\,Gyr exhibit both the thin and thick disk sequences, while younger (older) stars show only the thin (thick) disk sequence, indicating that the thin disk became prominent 8--10\,Gyr ago, while the thick disk formed earlier and almost quenched 8\,Gyr ago. Stellar ages exhibit positive vertical and negative radial gradients across the disk, and the outer disk of $R\gtrsim$\,9\,kpc exhibits a strong flare in stellar age distribution.
