Mira变量中观察到的Milky Way方形/花生状凸起的形态依赖性

Age-morphology dependence of the Milky Way boxy/peanut bulge seen in Mira variables

Marcin Semczuk, Walter Dehnen, Ralph Schoenrich, E. Athanassoula

摘要:

分析了银河系中央区域Mira变星的分布。我们发现,随着增加的周期,即减少年龄,米拉转向负的银河系天体$\ell$。与棒星系的宇宙学变焦模拟相比,我们发现这种随年龄的变化可以用方形花生/凸起的年龄形态依赖性来解释。由于投影效应和银河系天体范围的限制,$\ell>0$的近峰在年轻的人群中被截断,而$\ell<0$的远峰在观测到的分布中占主导地位。

英文摘要:

We analyse the distribution of Mira variable stars in the central region of the Milky Way. We find that with increasing period, i.e. decreasing age, the Miras shift towards negative Galactic longitudes $\ell$. Comparing to a cosmological zoom simulation of a barred galaxy, we find that this shift with age can be explained by an age-morphology dependence of the boxy peanut/bulge. Owing to a combination of projection effects and the limitation of the range of Galactic longitudes, the near hump at $\ell>0$ is more truncated for younger populations, and the far hump at $\ell<0$ dominates the observed distributions.
