Kinematical evolution of multiple stellar populations in star clusters

Maria Tiongco, Enrico Vesperini, Anna Lisa Varri

摘要:

我们提出了一套\Nbody模拟的结果,旨在了解内部运动学的长期演变的基本方面的多个恒星星族在球状星团。我们的模型使我们能够研究内部的,弛豫驱动的过程和外部的,潮汐引起的扰动的结构和运动学性质的多人口球状星团的合作效果。为了分析多个恒星星族在各种自旋-轨道耦合条件下的动力学行为,我们考虑了三种参考情况,其中潮汐扰动星团沿相对于轨道角动量矢量不同方向的轴旋转。我们专注于具体的速度空间中的微分旋转和各向异性的程度的演变的表征,我们量化的两个人口的空间和运动学混合的过程。根据最近和即将到来的探索这类恒星系统的内部运动学的视线和天体测量的手段,我们还调查的影响,投影效应和空间分布的恒星作为示踪剂。从我们的模型中出现的运动学和结构的丰富性进一步强调了观测研究的必要性和重要性,旨在建立一个完整的运动学图片的多人口现象。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a suite of \Nbody simulations aimed at understanding the fundamental aspects of the long-term evolution of the internal kinematics of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters. Our models enable us to study the cooperative effects of internal, relaxation-driven processes and external, tidally-induced perturbations on the structural and kinematic properties of multiple-population globular clusters. To analyse the dynamical behaviour of the multiple stellar populations in a variety of spin-orbit coupling conditions, we have considered three reference cases in which the tidally perturbed star cluster rotates along an axis oriented in different directions with respect to the orbital angular momentum vector. We focus specifically on the characterisation of the evolution of the degree of differential rotation and anisotropy in the velocity space, and we quantify the process of spatial and kinematic mixing of the two populations. In light of recent and forthcoming explorations of the internal kinematics of this class of stellar systems by means of line-of sight and astrometric measurements, we also investigate the implications of projection effects and spatial distribution of the stars adopted as tracers. The kinematic and structural richness emerging from our models further emphasises the need and the importance of observational studies aimed at building a complete kinematical picture of the multiple population phenomenon.
