逆行和逆行Milky Way星的化学动力学

The chemodynamics of prograde and retrograde Milky Way stars

Georges Kordopatis, Alejandra Recio-Blanco, Mathias Schultheis, Vanessa Hill

摘要:

内容:银河系的吸积历史仍然是未知的,尽管最近发现的恒星系统在能量角动量空间方面脱颖而出,如盖亚-土卫二-香肠。特别是,这些团体之间的联系以及它们在多大程度上混合在一起,仍然不清楚。目的:我们调查的相似性和差异的性质之间的逆时针和逆行(反向旋转)的恒星,并设置这些结果的背景下,通过使用盖亚-土卫二-香肠,Thamnos/红杉,和其他建议的吸积人口的属性。研究方法:我们使用了主要大型光谱调查(APOGEE,Gaia-ESO,GALAH,LAMOST,RAVE,SEGUE)的恒星金属丰度,并结合了盖亚第二次数据发布的天体测量和光度测量数据。我们调查了存在的径向和垂直金属丰度梯度以及方位角速度,$v_ϕ,$和金属丰度,[M/H],作为定性指标的混合人口的存在之间的可能的相关性。结果如下:我们发现,少数超级金属丰富的恒星存在于逆行轨道上,距离银河系中心和银河系平面的不同距离。我们还发现,反向旋转的恒星似乎是一个很好的混合人口,表现出径向和垂直的金属丰度梯度的顺序$\sim$ -0.04德克斯/千秒差距和-0.06德克斯/千秒差距,分别与很少(如果有的话)的变化时,不同地区的银河系的探测。这类恒星显示出一种$v_ϕ$ -[M/H]关系,这种关系随离平面的距离而变化,甚至可能相反。选择逆行样本粗略探测Thamnos和盖亚-土卫二-香肠似乎是不同的人群,但他们也似乎是非常相关的,因为他们遵循相同的趋势,偏心率与金属丰度空间。

英文摘要:

Context: The accretion history of the Milky Way is still unknown, despite the recent discovery of stellar systems that stand out in terms of their energy-angular momentum space, such as Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage. In particular, it is still unclear how these groups are linked and to what extent they are well-mixed. Aims: We investigate the similarities and differences in the properties between the prograde and retrograde (counter-rotating) stars and set those results in context by using the properties of Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage, Thamnos/Sequoia, and other suggested accreted populations. Methods: We used the stellar metallicities of the major large spectroscopic surveys (APOGEE, Gaia-ESO, GALAH, LAMOST, RAVE, SEGUE) in combination with astrometric and photometric data from Gaia's second data-release. We investigated the presence of radial and vertical metallicity gradients as well as the possible correlations between the azimuthal velocity, $v_ϕ,$ and metallicity, [M/H], as qualitative indicators of the presence of mixed populations. Results: We find that a handful of super metal-rich stars exist on retrograde orbits at various distances from the Galactic center and the Galactic plane. We also find that the counter-rotating stars appear to be a well-mixed population, exhibiting radial and vertical metallicity gradients on the order of $\sim$ -0.04 dex/kpc and -0.06 dex/kpc, respectively, with little (if any) variation when different regions of the Galaxy are probed. The prograde stars show a $v_ϕ$-[M/H] relation that flattens -- and, perhaps, even reverses as a function of distance from the plane. Retrograde samples selected to roughly probe Thamnos and Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage appear to be different populations yet they also appear to be quite linked, as they follow the same trend in terms of the eccentricity versus metallicity space.
