通过蓝离散星将本地恒星晕及其暗物质密度与矮星系联系起来

Connecting the local stellar halo and its dark matter density to dwarf galaxies via blue stragglers

Luca Casagrande

摘要:

盖亚的HR图显示了在高切向速度下明显年轻的恒星的存在。使用一个简单的分析模型,我表明,这些恒星很可能是蓝离散。一旦标准化到红巨星,附近晕蓝离散星的比例约为20%,非常接近矮星系的测量值。出于这种相似性,我适用于现场蓝离散标度关系推断蓝离散矮星系。对银河系晕这样做,得到的平均恒星密度为3.4 x 10^-5 Msun/pc ^3,距太阳2 kpc范围内的暗物质密度约为0.006 Msun/pc ^3 ~ 0.22 GeV/cm ^3。这些值与文献中的其他测定值相比是有利的,但它们是基于一组独立的假设。这种方法的一些考虑进行了讨论,最值得注意的是,暗物质晕核心密度和恒星质量之间的相关性,在矮星系中看到的似乎也为附近的银河系晕。

英文摘要:

The Gaia HR diagram shows the presence of apparently young stars at high tangential velocities. Using a simple analytical model I show that these stars are likely to be blue stragglers. Once normalized to red giant stars, the fraction of nearby halo blue stragglers is of order 20 percent, and remarkably close to that measured in dwarf galaxies. Motivated by this similarity, I apply to field blue stragglers scaling relations inferred from blue stragglers in dwarf galaxies. Doing this for the Milky Way halo returns an average stellar density of 3.4 x 10^-5 Msun/pc^3 and a dark matter density of ~0.006 Msun/pc^3 ~ 0.22 GeV/cm^3 within 2 kpc from the Sun. These values compare favourably to other determinations available in the literature, but are based on an independent set of assumptions. A few considerations of this methodology are discussed, most notably that the correlation between the dark matter halo core-density and stellar mass seen in dwarf galaxies seems to hold also for the nearby Milky Way halo.
