摘要:

我们使用暗能量巡天(DES)覆盖约5,000平方米的完整六年数据集来搜索RR型天琴座恒星。°的南方的天空。使用多阶段多变量分类和光曲线模板拟合方案,我们确定RR Lyrics候选人,每个候选人的中位数为35个观察结果。我们在~335 kpc的范围内检测到6,971个RR Lyrics候选者,我们估计我们的样本在~150 kpc的范围内完成了>70%。我们发现非常好的协议与其他广域RR天琴座目录和RR天琴座研究针对麦哲伦云和其他银河系卫星星系。我们拟合光滑的恒星晕密度分布使用一个破碎的幂律模型与固定的晕平坦(q = 0.7),我们发现了强有力的证据,打破在$R_0 = 32.1^{+1.1}_{-0.9}$ kpc的内斜率为$n_1 = -2.54^{+0.09}_{-0.09}$和外斜率为$n_2 = -5.42^{+0.13}_{-0.14}$。我们用我们的星表来搜索银河系的卫星星系与大尺寸和低光度。使用一组模拟的卫星星系,我们发现,我们的RR天琴座为基础的搜索是更敏感的大($r_h > 500$ PC),低表面亮度矮星系的制度比那些使用解决恒星星族。一个大的,分散的卫星盲搜索产生三个候选子结构。第一个可以确信地与矮星系波江座II联系在一起。第二个与超暗矮星系Tucana II具有相似的距离和自行,但距离约为5度。第三个在投影上接近球状星团NGC 1851,但距离更远约10 kpc,并且似乎在自行上有所不同。

英文摘要:

We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) covering ~5,000 sq. deg. of the southern sky. Using a multi-stage multi-variate classification and light curve template-fitting scheme, we identify RR Lyrae candidates with a median of 35 observations per candidate. We detect 6,971 RR Lyrae candidates out to ~335 kpc, and we estimate that our sample is >70% complete at ~150 kpc. We find excellent agreement with other wide-area RR Lyrae catalogs and RR Lyrae studies targeting the Magellanic Clouds and other Milky Way satellite galaxies. We fit the smooth stellar halo density profile using a broken-power-law model with fixed halo flattening (q = 0.7), and we find strong evidence for a break at $R_0 = 32.1^{+1.1}_{-0.9}$ kpc with an inner slope of $n_1 = -2.54^{+0.09}_{-0.09}$ and an outer slope of $n_2 = -5.42^{+0.13}_{-0.14}$. We use our catalog to perform a search for Milky Way satellite galaxies with large sizes and low luminosities. Using a set of simulated satellite galaxies, we find that our RR Lyrae-based search is more sensitive than those using resolved stellar populations in the regime of large ($r_h > 500$ pc), low-surface-brightness dwarf galaxies. A blind search for large, diffuse satellites yields three candidate substructures. The first can be confidently associated with the dwarf galaxy Eridanus II. The second has a similar distance and proper motion to the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Tucana II but is separated by ~5 deg. The third is close in projection to the globular cluster NGC 1851 but is ~10 kpc more distant and appears to differ in proper motion.
