摘要:

我们给出了LAMOST红团星的特殊面内速度,并通过一种新的方法将其提纯和分离为两组不同年龄的星。样本主要是围绕银河系反中心方向,使我们能够映射的径向和方位角速度的径向分布在外盘。从年轻和年老星群的面内速度随银心半径的变化,我们发现径向速度和方位角速度在$8<R<14\,kpc$上都不是轴对称的。两个红团总体表明,平均径向速度在$R\sim9\,kpc$内为负,在$R\sim9\,kpc$外为正。这可能是因为旋转杆引起的扰动。过零半径$R\sim9$ \,kpc基本上表示外林德布拉德共振(OLR)半径的粗略位置。给定238 km $\rm s^{-1}$的圆周速度,则杆的图案速度可以近似为$45$ 1,km $\rm s^{-1}\rm kpc^{-1}$。在$R\sim9$ ~ 12,kpc之间,年轻的红团簇星比老的星族星平均视向速度大3 $\,km\rm s^{-1}$.这可能是因为年轻的人口比老年人更敏感的扰动。两个星群的平均方位角速度径向分布呈有趣的U型,即在$R<10.5\,kpc$,方位角速度随$R$的增加而减小约10 $\,km\rm s^{-1}$,而在$R>10.5$,方位角速度随$R$的增加而增加,达到240-245 $\,km\rm s^{-1}$。目前尚不清楚为什么平均方位角速度沿银河系反中心方向呈U形。同时,年轻种群的方位角速度略大于老年种群,并且随着$R$的出现,这种差异适度减小。在$R\sim12\,kpc$之外,两个种群的方位角速度是不可区分的。

英文摘要:

We present the peculiar in-plane velocities derived from the LAMOST red clump stars, which are purified and separated by a novel approach into two groups with different ages. The samples are mostly contributed around the Galactic anti-centre direction such that we are able to map the radial profiles of the radial and azimuthal velocities in the outer disc. From the variations of the in-plane velocities with the Galactocentric radius for the younger and older populations, we find that both radial and azimuthal velocities are not axisymmetric at $8<R<14\,kpc$. The two red clump populations show that the mean radial velocity is negative within $R\sim9\,kpc$ and positive beyond. This is likely because of the perturbation induced by the rotating bar. The cross-zero radius, $R\sim9$\, kpc, essentially indicates the rough location of the outer Lindblad resonance (OLR) radius. Given the circular speed of 238\,km$\rm s^{-1}$, then the pattern speed of the bar can be approximated as $45$\,km$\rm s^{-1}\rm kpc^{-1}$. The young red clump stars show larger mean radial velocity than the old population by about 3$\,km\rm s^{-1}$ between $R\sim9$ and 12\,kpc. This is possibly because the younger population is more sensitive to the perturbation than the older one. The radial profiles of the mean azimuthal velocity for the two populations show an interesting U-shape, i.e. at $R<10.5\,kpc$, the azimuthal velocity declines with $R$ by about 10$\,km\rm s^{-1}$, while at $R>10.5$ it increases with $R$ to 240-245$\,km\rm s^{-1}$. It is not clear why the mean azimuthal velocity shows the U-shape along the Galactic anti-centre direction. Meanwhile, the azimuthal velocity for the younger population is slightly larger than the older one and the difference moderately declines with $R$. Beyond $R\sim12\,kpc$, the azimuthal velocities for the two populations are indistinguishable.
