摘要:

我们介绍了一个多组分化学动力学方法分裂成三个不同的组成部分:凸起,光盘和恒星晕的银河系人口的球状星团(GC)。后者被进一步分解为形成银河系恒星晕的单个大型吸积事件:盖亚-土卫二-香肠结构,海怪和红杉结构,以及人马座和海尔米流。我们的建模进行了广泛的测试,使用模拟GC样品从银河系(MW)的星系的流体动力学模拟的AURIGA套件。我们发现,平均而言,一部分的增广GC不能与他们真正的下降组,并离开未分组,偏置我们恢复的人口数量约80%的真实价值。此外,所鉴定的基团的完整性和纯度仅为65%。这反映了这个问题的困难,因为过去吸积事件产生的碎片在能量作用空间中有很大程度的重叠。我们将该方法应用于银河系的数据推断,在统计上强大的和容易量化的方式,GC与每个MW吸积事件。由此产生的群体的GC的人口数量,校正偏差,然后用来推断现在已经不复存在的卫星,建立了光环的MW的光环和恒星质量。

英文摘要:

We introduce a multi-component chemo-dynamical method for splitting the Galactic population of Globular Clusters (GCs) into three distinct constituents: bulge, disc, and stellar halo. The latter is further decomposed into the individual large accretion events that built up the Galactic stellar halo: the Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage, Kraken and Sequoia structures, and the Sagittarius and Helmi streams. Our modelling is extensively tested using mock GC samples constructed from the AURIGA suite of hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies. We find that, on average, a proportion of the accreted GCs cannot be associated with their true infall group and are left ungrouped, biasing our recovered population numbers to approximately 80 percent of their true value. Furthermore, the identified groups have a completeness and a purity of only 65 percent. This reflects the difficulty of the problem, a result of the large degree of overlap in energy-action space of the debris from past accretion events. We apply the method to the Galactic data to infer, in a statistically robust and easily quantifiable way, the GCs associated with each MW accretion event. The resulting groups' population numbers of GCs, corrected for biases, are then used to infer the halo and stellar masses of the now defunct satellites that built up the halo of the MW.
