NGC 7089(M2)的扩展潮尾

The Extended Tidal Tails of NGC 7089 (M2)

Carl J. Grillmair

摘要:

使用测光和自行盖亚早期数据发布3,我们检测到一个45度长的尾随恒星碎片流与旧的,金属贫乏的球状星团NGC 7089。宽度约为100 pc,扩展流似乎与迄今为止发现的最冷的已知流一样动态冷。有一些证据表明,在距离星团28度到37度之间有一条延伸的前导尾,尽管这条尾的距离更大,加上与前景恒星几乎无法区分的自行,使得探测的确定性要小得多。使用一个简单的银河系的潜力,纯粹由一个磁盘,隆起,和球形晕的自行配置文件和天空中的拖尾尾巴的路径是不匹配的。然而,加入一个移动的大质量(M = 1.88 x 10^(11)太阳质量)大麦云云,使模型的预测与观测结果更加吻合。我们提供的表中排名最高的候选流星的后续正在进行的和未来的光谱调查。

英文摘要:

Using photometry and proper motions from Gaia Early Data Release 3, we detect a 45 degree-long trailing stellar debris stream associated with the old, metal-poor globular cluster NGC 7089. With a width on the order of 100 pc, the extended stream appears to be as dynamically cold as the coldest known streams found to date. There is some evidence for an extended leading tail extending between 28 and 37 degrees from the cluster, though the greater distance of this tail, combined with proper motions that are virtually indistinguishable from those of foreground stars, make the detection much less certain. The proper motion profile and the path on the sky of the trailing tail are not well matched using a simple Galactic potential comprised purely of a disk, bulge, and spherical halo. However, the addition of a moving, massive (M = 1.88 x 10^(11) solar masses) Large Magellanic Cloud brings the model predictions into much better agreement with the observables. We provide tables of the most highly ranked candidate stream stars for follow-up by ongoing and future spectroscopic surveys.
