Dynamical Models of the Milky Way
The only way to map the Galaxy's gravitational potential Φ(x) and the distribution of matter that produces it is by modelling the dynamics of stars and gas. Observations of the kinematics of gas provide key information about gradients of Φ within the plane, but little information about the structure of Φ out of the plane. Traditional Galaxy models assume, for each of the Galaxy's components, ar...
متن کاملDynamical effects of the long bar in the Milky Way
We examine the dynamical effects on disk stars of a “long bar” in the Milky Way by inserting a triaxial rotating bar into an axisymmetric disk+bulge+dark halo potential and integrating 3-D orbits of 10 tracer stars over a period of 5 Gyr. The long bar has been detected via “clump giants” in the IR by López-Corredoira et al. (2007), and is estimated to have semi-major axes of (3.9×0.6×0.1) kpc a...
متن کاملModeling the Milky-Way Satellite galaxies
We revisit the Milky Way satellite problem using a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and compare the predicted luminosity function to recent result from the SDSS. With cosmic photoionization, the luminosity function can be brought into broad agreement with the data between −15 < MV < −2. This improvement over previous semi-analytical model results (e.g., Benson et al. 2002) is from our ...
متن کاملMilky Way
7 Globular clusters and Population II stars are fossil remnants of the first major epoch of star formation in the Milky Way. SIM Lite will determine precise distances to selected Pop II objects to define a reliable distance scale, and establish reliable absolute and relative ages. Those ages set a minimum age for the Universe and map the early formation history of the Milky Way. The resultant a...
متن کاملFormation of the Milky Way
We review observational evidence bearing on the formation of a prototypical large spiral galaxy, the Milky Way. New groundand space-based studies of globular star clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies provide a wealth of information to constrain theories of galaxy formation. It appears likely that the Milky Way formed by an combination of rapid, dissipative collapse and mergers, but the relati...
