银盘上的垂直相位混合

Vertical Phase Mixing across the Galactic Disk

Zhao-Yu Li

摘要:

通过结合{ \it LAMOST}和{ \it Gaia}的数据,我们研究了银河系盘上的垂直相位混合。我们的结果证实了在6 ~ 12 kpc范围内相空间蜗牛壳(或相螺旋)的存在。我们发现按引导半径分组($R_{g}$),而不是目前的半径($R$)在以下方面进一步增强了蜗牛壳信号:(1)蜗牛壳形状的清晰度增加;(2)可以看到蜗牛壳的更多缠绕;(3)相空间较少受到由于消光而缺少更靠近盘中平面的恒星的影响;(4)相空间蜗牛壳在更大的径向范围内被放大。与基于$R$的蜗牛壳相比,定量测量的形状相似,除了基于$R_{g}$的蜗牛壳显示出具有更好对比度的更多缠绕.这些线索的证据导致的结论,引导半径(角动量)是一个基本参数跟踪相空间蜗牛壳通过银河系磁盘。我们的测试粒子模拟与脉冲近似的结果验证,根据$R_{g}$分组的粒子揭示定义明确,更清晰的蜗牛壳功能。通过比较观测值和模拟值之间的俯仰角径向分布,外部扰动可以被约束到$\sim$ 5亿$-$ 7亿年前。对于未来的垂直相位混合研究,建议使用附加轨道热度(椭圆率)约束的引导半径,以提高相位蜗牛的清晰度。

英文摘要:

By combining the {\it LAMOST} and {\it Gaia} data, we investigate the vertical phase mixing across the Galactic disk. Our results confirm the existence of the phase space snail shells (or phase spirals) from 6 to 12 kpc. We find that grouping stars by the guiding radius ($R_{g}$), instead of the present radius ($R$) further enhances the snail shell signal in the following aspects: (1) clarity of the snail shell shape is increased; (2) more wraps of the snail shell can be seen; (3) the phase spaces are less affected by the lack of stars closer to the disk mid-plane due to extinction; (4) the phase space snail shell is amplified in greater radial ranges. Compared to the $R$-based snail shell, the quantitatively measured shapes are similar, except that the $R_{g}$-based snail shells show more wraps with better contrast. These lines of evidence lead to the conclusion that the guiding radius (angular momentum) is a fundamental parameter tracing the phase space snail shell across the Galactic disk. Results of our test particle simulations with impulse approximation verify that particles grouped according to $R_{g}$ reveal well-defined and sharper snail shell features. By comparing the radial profiles of the pitch angle between observation and simulation, the external perturbation can be constrained to $\sim$500$-$700 Myr ago. For future vertical phase mixing study, it is recommended to use the guiding radius with additional constraints on orbital hotness (ellipticity) to improve the clarity of the phase snail.
