摘要:

我们提出了一个广泛的研究人马座II(Sgr II)恒星系统使用MegaCam g和i测光,窄带,金属敏感的钙H&K双峰测光,增强与凯克II/DEIMOS多目标光谱。我们能够推导和改进Sgr II的结构和恒星性质:色星等图表明Sgr II很老(12.0 +- 0.5 Gyr)并且金属贫乏。CaHK测光证实了这颗卫星的贫金属性质([Fe/H]CaHK = -2.32 +- 0.04 dex),并表明Sgr II拥有不止一个单一的恒星星族(σ CaHK = 0.11+0.05-0.03 dex)。由深源光谱数据,在排除两颗潜在双星后,得到该系统的速度色散为σvr = 2.7+1.3- 1.0km s-1。利用从我们的最高信噪比光谱测量的Ca红外三重态,我们能够确认从原始光度金属丰度推断的金属丰度和分散度:[Fe/H] = -2.23 +- 0.05 dex,σspectro = 0.10+0.06-0.04 dex。Sgr II的金属丰度和绝对星等(MV = -5.7 +-0.1等)使该系统处于银河系矮星系的亮度-金属丰度关系中,尽管它的尺寸很小。低,但解决金属丰度和速度色散描绘了一个轻微的暗物质为主的卫星图片。此外,使用盖亚数据发布2,我们约束的卫星的轨道,并找到一个远心118.4+28.4-23.7 kpc和近心54.8+3.3-6.1 kpc。Sgr II的轨道与Sgr流的拖曳臂一致,表明它可能是Sgr dSph的一颗卫星,被潮汐剥夺了矮星的影响。

英文摘要:

We present an extensive study of the Sagittarius II (Sgr II) stellar system using MegaCam g and i photometry, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive Calcium H&K doublet photometry, augmented with Keck II/DEIMOS multi-object spectroscopy. We are able to derive and refine the Sgr II structural and stellar properties: the colour-magnitude diagram implies Sgr II is old (12.0 +- 0.5 Gyr) and metal-poor. The CaHK photometry confirms the metal-poor nature of the satellite ([Fe/H]CaHK = -2.32 +- 0.04 dex) and suggests that Sgr II hosts more than one single stellar population (σ CaHK = 0.11+0.05-0.03 dex). From the deep spectroscopic data, the velocity dispersion of the system is found to be σvr = 2.7+1.3-1.0 km s-1 after excluding two potential binary stars. Using the Ca infrared triplet measured from our highest signal-to-noise spectra, we are able to confirm the metallicity and dispersion inferred from the Pristine photometric metallicities: ([Fe/H] = -2.23 +- 0.05 dex, σspectro = 0.10+0.06-0.04 dex). Sgr II's metallicity and absolute magnitude (MV = -5.7 +- 0.1 mag) place the system on the luminosity-metallicity relation of the Milky Way dwarf galaxies despite its small size. The low, but resolved metallicity and velocity dispersions paint the picture of a slightly dark matter-dominated satellite. Furthermore, using the Gaia Data Release 2, we constrain the orbit of the satellite and find an apocenter of 118.4+28.4-23.7 kpc and a pericenter of 54.8+3.3-6.1 kpc. The orbit of Sgr II is consistent with the trailing arm of the Sgr stream and indicates that it is possibly a satellite of the Sgr dSph that was tidally stripped from the dwarf's influence.
