Milky Way的化学演化:厚盘和薄盘形成的限制

Chemical evolution of the Milky Way: constraints on the formation of the thick and thin discs

Marco Palla, Francesca Matteucci, Emanuele Spitoni, Fiorenzo Vincenzo, Valeria Grisoni

摘要:

本文根据最新的观测资料研究了银河系厚盘和薄盘的演化。特别是,我们分析了O,N,Fe和Mg的丰度梯度沿薄盘以及[Mg/Fe]与[Fe/H]的关系和金属丰度分布函数在不同的银心距离。我们运行几个模型从两个落入范例开始,假设厚盘和薄盘通过两个不同的落入情节形成,我们探讨了几个物理参数,如径向气体流量,恒星形成的可变效率,不同的时间为最大的落入盘上,不同的分布的总表面质量密度的厚盘和富集气体的落入。我们的最佳模型表明,径向气流和恒星形成的可变效率应该与薄盘形成的内向外机制一起起作用。最大程度地落入薄盘的时间尺度(它决定了两个盘形成之间的间隙)应为$t_{max}\simeq 3.25$ Gyr。厚盘应该具有指数的、小尺度的长度密度分布,并且在内部薄盘上的气体流入应该是富集的。我们还计算了盖亚-土卫二系统的演化,并研究了厚盘和薄盘可能相互作用的影响。我们的结论是,土卫二失去的气体,甚至是其中的一部分,可能是形成厚盘而不是薄盘的原因。

英文摘要:

We study the evolution of Milky Way thick and thin discs in the light of the most recent observational data. In particular, we analyze abundance gradients of O, N, Fe and Mg along the thin disc as well as the [Mg/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] relations and the metallicity distribution functions at different Galactocentric distances. We run several models starting from the two-infall paradigm, assuming that the thick and thin discs formed by means of two different infall episodes, and we explore several physical parameters, such as radial gas flows, variable efficiency of star formation, different times for the maximum infall onto the disc, different distributions of the total surface mass density of the thick disc and enriched gas infall. Our best model suggests that radial gas flows and variable efficiency of star formation should be acting together with the inside-out mechanism for the thin disc formation. The timescale for maximum infall onto the thin disc, which determines the gap between the formation of the two discs, should be $t_{max}\simeq 3.25$ Gyr. The thick disc should have an exponential, small scale length density profile and gas infall on the inner thin disc should be enriched. We compute also the evolution of Gaia-Enceladus system and study the effects of possible interactions with the thick and thin discs. We conclude that the gas lost by Enceladus or even part of it could have been responsible for the formation of the thick disc but not the thin disc.
