摘要:

在这项工作中,我们推导出一个空间分辨地图的视线速度的星际介质,并使用它,随着第二个地图的视线速度从本系列论文I,以确定在银河系的气体螺旋结构的性质。这张地图是根据APOGEE巡天对恒星光谱中1.527 $μ$ m星际弥散带(DIB)的测量结果绘制的,覆盖了距离北银河面最近的4-5千秒差距。我们交叉检查这个新的基于DIB的视线速度图与论文I中导出的地图,发现它们一致。然后,我们比较这些地图与准静态密度波螺旋结构和动态,或材料,在银河系类星系的螺旋结构模拟的视线速度图。虽然从这些模拟中得出的地图都与银河系的测量速度场不完全匹配,但测量结果与动态螺旋结构的模拟更加一致。在与测量结果最匹配的动态螺旋结构模拟中,英仙座的螺旋臂被破坏了。

英文摘要:

In this work, we derive a spatially resolved map of the line-of-sight velocity of the interstellar medium and use it, along with a second map of line-of-sight velocity from Paper I of this series, to determine the nature of gaseous spiral structure in the Milky Way. This map is derived from measurements of the 1.527 $μ$m diffuse interstellar band (DIB) in stellar spectra from the APOGEE survey and covers the nearest 4-5 kpc of the Northern Galactic plane. We cross-check this new DIB-based line-of-sight velocity map with the map derived in Paper I and find that they agree. We then compare these maps with line-of-sight velocity maps derived from simulations of quasi-stationary density wave spiral structure and dynamic, or material, spiral structure in a Milky Way-like galaxy. While none of the maps derived from these simulations is an exact match to the measured velocity field of the Milky Way, the measurements are more consistent with simulations of dynamic spiral structure. In the dynamic spiral structure simulation that best matches the measurements, the Perseus spiral arm is being disrupted.
