We use the second Gaia data release in combination with the catalog of Sanders & Das (2018) to dissect the Milky Way disc in phase-space and relative ages. We confirm and report the existence of multiple velocity moving groups at low azimuthal velocities and angular momenta, below Arcturus, regularly separated by $\sim~18-20\,\rm{km s^{-1}}$ in azimuthal velocity. Such features were predicted to exist more than ten years ago from the reaction of the Milky Way to a perturbation in the disc undergoing phase-mixing. These structures appear slightly younger than their phase-space surroundings, arguing against an extra-galactic origin. We also identify in relative age many of the classical ridges in the plane of azimuthal velocity vs. Galactocentric radius, traditionally associated with resonance features. These ridges are also younger than their phase-space surroundings in accordance with predictions from recent state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies. We study the response of dynamically young and old stellar disc populations to resonances from an analytic model of a large bar, which, remarkably, qualitatively reproduces the trends seen in the data. Our results re-inforce the idea that the Galactic disc is currently being shaped by both internal and external perturbations, and that, while absolute isochrone ages have to be taken with great care, exploring the dynamical structure of the disc in stellar ages, especially with future asteroseismic data, will provide much stronger constraints than metallicity/abundance trends alone.
Tracing the Origin of Moving Groups. III. Detecting Moving Groups in The LAMOST DR7
我们重新审视移动集团(MG)在太阳附近的样本91969附近的恒星从LAMOST DR 7。利用小波技术和蒙特卡罗模拟,在$V-\sqrt{U^2+2V^2}$空间同时探测到了5个MG和一个新的候选者,它们位于$V \simeq$-130 km s $^{-1}$.考虑到其他已知的MG,我们的结论是,在银河系盘MG的间距约为15 $\sim$ 25公里秒$^{-1}$沿$V$速度。通过[Fe/H] $-$ [Mg/Fe]分布和年龄分析了所检测到的MG的来源。我们的研究结果支持归因于连续共振机制的起源可能是由银河系的酒吧或旋臂。
Chronostar: a novel Bayesian method for kinematic age determination. I. Derivation and application to the β Pictoris Moving Group
Gaia DR 2提供了一个前所未有的具有完整6D相空间测量的恒星样本,这就需要一种自洽的方法来发现和表征被称为移动群体或协会的相空间超密度。在这里,我们提出了Chronostar,一个新的贝叶斯分析工具,满足这一需求。Chronostar使用期望最大化算法来消除关联成员列表之间的循环依赖关系,并拟合其相空间分布,从而可以发现运动数据集内的未知关联。它使用通过银河势的轨道的前向建模,以克服向后追踪其运动学具有显著观测误差的恒星的问题,从而提供可靠的年龄。在使用具有真实测量误差和复杂初始分布的合成数据集进行的测试中,Chronostar成功地恢复了成员资格分配和运动学年龄高达约1亿年。在对$β$如画移动星群相空间附近的真实恒星运动学数据的测试中,Chronostar在没有任何人为干预的情况下成功地重新发现了星协,确定了15个新的可能成员,证实了43个候选成员,并返回了17.8+-1.2百万年的运动学年龄。在这个过程中,我们还重新发现了Tucana-Horologium移动群,我们获得了36.3+1.3-1.4百万年的运动学年龄。
A large moving group within the Lower Centaurus Crux association
天蝎座-半人马座是最近的OB协会,它的数百名成员被分为子组,包括下半人马座Crux。在这里,我们研究的动力学下半人马座Crux区恒星的内容。我们报告的启示,一个大型的移动组包含超过1800中间和低质量的年轻恒星的对象和褐矮星,逃脱识别,直到盖亚DR 2允许执行运动学和光度选择。我们调查的恒星和亚恒星的内容,这个移动组使用盖亚DR 2天体测量和光度测量。成员的平均距离为114.5秒差距,80%的成员距离太阳102至135秒差距。我们的新成员涵盖了5 M $_\odot$到0.02 M $_\odot$的质量范围,加起来总质量约为700 M $_\odot$。现今的质量函数遵循对数正态律,其中m $_c$ = 0.22 M $_\odot$且$σ$ = 0.64。我们在样本中发现了200多颗褐矮星。恒星形成速率在约900万年前达到最大值$8\times10^{-5}\rm M_\odot yr^{-1}$。我们将新成员分成四个密度较大的亚群,它们的年龄从700万年增加到1000万年,周围是混合年龄的“自由浮动”年轻恒星。我们的等时线年龄,现在基于精确的岩石圈,与该地区的几个早期研究是兼容的。整个建筑群目前正在扩张,扩张开始于800万至1000万年前。二百名成员显示红外线过剩兼容的拱盘从完整的碎片盘。这一发现为磁盘和系外行星研究提供了附近年轻恒星和亚恒星物体的大量样本。
