摘要:

我们已经使用了近91 000个基本模式的RR天琴座恒星(RRab型)的OGLE调查检测到的光度数据,以调查银河系中的老年人口的属性。基于它们的金属丰度分布,我们证明了银河系是由三个不同的老组件:晕,凸起,和磁盘。在Jurcsik金属丰度标度上,[Fe/H]_(95)=-1.2、-1.0和-0.6 dex时,分布达到最大值。我们发现,整个晕很可能是由下落的矮星系形成的。很明显,晕星穿透了银河系隆起的内部区域。我们估计,大约三分之一的所有RR天琴座恒星在隆起区实际上属于晕人口。整个老隆凸由两个种群A和B主导,在周期振幅(Bailey)图中由双序列表示。晕和盘之间的铁丰度边界约为[Fe/H]_(95)=-0.8dex。用Gaia DR 2观测盘区RRab星,我们发现,除了在[Fe/H]_J95 = -1.0 dex附近有一个凸起外,观测到的自行色散沿银河系纬度随金属含量的增加而平滑地减小.

英文摘要:

We have used photometric data on almost 91 000 fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars (type RRab) detected by the OGLE survey to investigate properties of old populations in the Milky Way. Based on their metallicity distributions, we demonstrate that the Galaxy is built from three distinct old components: halo, bulge, and disk. The distributions reach their maxima at approximately [Fe/H]_J95 = -1.2, -1.0, and -0.6 dex on the Jurcsik's metallicity scale, respectively. We find that, very likely, the entire halo is formed from infalling dwarf galaxies. It is evident that halo stars penetrate the inner regions of the Galactic bulge. We estimate that about one-third of all RR Lyr stars within the bulge area belong in fact to the halo population. The whole old bulge is dominated by two populations, A and B, represented by a double sequence in the period-amplitude (Bailey) diagram. The boundary in iron abundance between the halo and the disk population is at about [Fe/H]_J95 = -0.8 dex. Using Gaia DR2 for RRab stars in the disk area, we show that the observed dispersion of proper motions along the Galactic latitude decreases smoothly with the increasing metal content excluding a bump around [Fe/H]_J95 = -1.0 dex.
