摘要:

人马座矮星系的潮汐破裂产生了一个壮观的恒星流,包裹着整个银河系。我们使用来自$Gaia$和H3恒星光谱巡天的数据,根据它们的角动量来识别823个高质量的人马座成员。H3调查在金属丰度方面基本上没有偏见,因此我们的射手座成员样本也同样没有偏见。流星的[Fe/H]范围很广,从$-0.2$到$\approx -3.0$,平均总金属丰度为$\langle$ [Fe/H] $\rangle=-0.99$。我们确定了一个强大的金属依赖的流成员的运动学。在[Fe/H] $\gt -0.8$几乎所有的成员属于著名的冷($σ_v \lt 20$ km/s)的领先和落后的武器。在中等金属丰度($-1.9 \lt$ [Fe/H] $\lt -0.8$)时,大量恒星(24 $\%$)出现在运动学上偏离冷臂的位置。这些恒星似乎也有更热的运动学。在最低的金属丰度([Fe/H] $\lesssim-2$),大多数恒星(69 $\%$)属于这种运动学偏移的扩散人口。与模拟结果的比较表明,弥漫成分是在早期从人马座祖先剥离的,因此与较冷的富金属成分相比,平均半径更大。我们推测,这种运动学扩散,低金属,人口是人马座祖先系统的恒星晕。

英文摘要:

The tidal disruption of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy has generated a spectacular stream of stars wrapping around the entire Galaxy. We use data from $Gaia$ and the H3 Stellar Spectroscopic Survey to identify 823 high-quality Sagittarius members based on their angular momenta. The H3 Survey is largely unbiased in metallicity, and so our sample of Sagittarius members is similarly unbiased. Stream stars span a wide range in [Fe/H] from $-0.2$ to $\approx -3.0$, with a mean overall metallicity of $\langle$[Fe/H]$\rangle=-0.99$. We identify a strong metallicity-dependence to the kinematics of the stream members. At [Fe/H]$\gt -0.8$ nearly all members belong to the well-known cold ($σ_v \lt 20$ km/s) leading and trailing arms. At intermediate metallicities ($-1.9 \lt$[Fe/H]$\lt -0.8$) a significant population (24$\%$) emerges of stars that are kinematically offset from the cold arms. These stars also appear to have hotter kinematics. At the lowest metallicities ([Fe/H]$\lesssim-2$), the majority of stars (69$\%$) belong to this kinematically-offset diffuse population. Comparison to simulations suggests that the diffuse component was stripped from the Sagittarius progenitor at earlier epochs, and therefore resided at larger radius on average, compared to the colder metal-rich component. We speculate that this kinematically diffuse, low metallicity, population is the stellar halo of the Sagittarius progenitor system.
