摘要:

我们从观测的角度分析了一个类似银河系的星系的形成历史和运动学,从一个高分辨率的放大宇宙学模拟中,我们将其与盖亚DR 2所看到的银河系进行比较,以更好地了解银河系薄盘和厚盘的起源和演化。用GADGET-3 TreePM+SPH程序,采用多相粒子积分器(MUPPI)模型进行了宇宙学模拟。我们解开复杂的重叠恒星世代上升,从自上而下和由内而外形成的星系盘。我们调查宇宙学签名的相空间的单年龄人口和突出功能源于过去和最近的动力学扰动。在模拟中,我们确定了一颗恒星质量为$1.2 \times 10^9$ M $_\odot$的卫星,即当时恒星质量比$Δ\sim 5.5$ %,在$z \sim 1.6$处吸积,这类似于产生银河系厚盘的盖亚-香肠-土卫二合并,我们在$Δ\sim 6$发现了两颗恒星质量分别为$8.8 \times 10^8$ M $_\odot$和$5.1 \times 10^8$ M $_\odot$的合并卫星,它们相互关联恒星形成史上的一次强烈的星暴,这似乎与最近在太阳附近发现的相当相似。我们的研究结果强调,对同时代恒星星族运动学的详细研究,通过当前和未来的盖亚数据发布并与模拟协同,是解开银河系圆盘形成和演化的基础。

英文摘要:

We analyse from an observational perspective the formation history and kinematics of a Milky Way-like galaxy from a high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulation that we compare to those of our Galaxy as seen by Gaia DR2 to better understand the origin and evolution of the Galactic thin and thick discs. The cosmological simulation was carried out with the GADGET-3 TreePM+SPH code using the MUlti Phase Particle Integrator (MUPPI) model. We disentangle the complex overlapping of stellar generations that rises from the top-down and inside-out formation of the galactic disc. We investigate cosmological signatures in the phase-space of mono-age populations and highlight features stemming from past and recent dynamical perturbations. In the simulation, we identify a satellite with a stellar mass of $1.2 \times 10^9$ M$_\odot$, i.e. stellar mass ratio $Δ\sim 5.5$ per cent at the time, accreted at $z \sim 1.6$, which resembles the major merger Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus that produced the Galactic thick disc, i.e. $Δ\sim 6$ per cent. We found at $z \sim 0.5-0.4$ two merging satellites with a stellar mass of $8.8 \times 10^8$ M$_\odot$ and $5.1 \times 10^8$ M$_\odot$ that are associated to a strong starburst in the Star Formation History, which appears fairly similar to that recently found in the Solar Neighbourhood. Our findings highlight that detailed studies of coeval stellar populations kinematics, which are made available by current and future Gaia data releases and in synergy with simulations, are fundamental to unravel the formation and evolution of the Milky Way discs.
