AI总结:

本研究利用光度金属丰度估计和盖亚早期数据发布3的天体测量,筛选纯净的最古老贫金属星样本,以揭示银河系银盘的起源与演化。

摘要:

银河系是一个旋涡星系,由三个主要组成部分构成:核球、银盘和银晕。其中特别引人关注的是银盘,它承载了重子物质角动量的重要部分,并至少拥有两个主要的恒星族群:薄盘和厚盘。理解银盘的形成与演化对于揭示我们银河系的起源和发展至关重要。恒星考古学提供了一种探测银盘演化的手段,通过聆听其最古老、最原始恒星(特别是贫金属星)的宇宙学叙事。在本研究中,我们采用了精确的光度金属丰度估计和盖亚早期数据发布3的天体测量,来筛选出一个纯净的最古老银河系恒星样本。本报告呈现了我们主要发现的总结。

英文摘要:

The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy comprising three main components: the Bulge, the Disk, and the Halo. Of particular interest is the Galactic disk, which holds a significant portion of the baryonic matter angular momentum and harbors at least two primary stellar populations: the thin and thick disks. Understanding the formation and evolution of the Galactic disk is crucial for comprehending the origins and development of our Galaxy. Stellar archaeology offers a means to probe the disk's evolution by listening to the cosmological narratives of its oldest and most pristine stars, specifically the metal-poor stars. In this study, we employed accurate photometric metallicity estimates and Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometry to curate a pure sample of the oldest Galactic stars. This proceeding presents a summary of our primary findings.
