Gaia DR2中扩展的1995流

An extended Pal 5 stream in Gaia DR2

Nathaniel Starkman, Jo Bovy, Jeremy Webb

摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的搜索结果的盖亚数据发布2(DR 2)的105潮汐尾系统的成员。潮汐尾提供了一种灵敏的方法来测量其宿主星系当前和过去的引力势,以及测试对暗物质暗晕丰度的预测。对于这样的分析来说,E55球状星团和它的尾部是一个很好的候选者;然而,目前只知道大约23度的弧,特别是领先的尾部比落后的要短得多。利用盖亚DR 2及其精确的天体测量,我们将已知的30度的尾巴延伸到30度,其中7度是新发现的,沿着前导臂。检测到的前导臂和拖尾臂在长度上是对称的,宽度保持不变。这一检测约束提出的模型,其中银河酒吧截短的ESTA 5的领先arm. Follow后续光谱观测是必要的,以验证候选流星是一致的,与已知的潮汐尾。如果得到证实,这条2005年的流延伸开辟了限制银河系潜力的新可能性。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a detailed search for members of the Pal 5 tidal tail system in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2). Tidal tails provide a sensitive method for measuring the current and past gravitational potential of their host galaxy as well as for testing predictions for the abundance of dark matter subhalos. The Pal 5 globular cluster and its associated tails are an excellent candidate for such analysis; however, only ~23 degrees of arc are currently known, with in particular the leading tail much shorter than the trailing. Using Gaia DR2 and its precise astrometry, we extend the known extent of the Pal 5 tail to ~30 degrees, 7 degrees of which are newly detected along the leading arm. The detected leading and trailing arms are symmetric in length and remain near constant width. This detection constrains proposed models in which the Galactic bar truncates Pal 5's leading arm. Follow-up spectroscopic observations are necessary to verify the candidate stream stars are consistent with the known tidal tails. If confirmed, this Pal 5 stream extension opens up new possibilities to constrain the Galactic potential.
