Elemental Abundance Survey of The Galactic Thick Disk
We have performed an abundance analysis for Fand Gdwarfs of the Galactic thick disk component. A sample of 176 nearby (d ≤ 150 pc) thick disk candidate stars was chosen from the Hipparcos catalogue and subjected to a high-resolution spectroscopic analysis. Using accurate radial velocities combined with Hipparcos astrometry, kinematics (U, V, and W ) and Galactic orbital parameters were computed...
متن کاملKinematics of Galactic Disk
The method of constructing of rotation curve for our galactic disk is developed. Simple physical model shows that the velocity of the Sun around the center of the Galaxy must be less than currently accepted IAU value 220 km/s. Independently obtained result for neutral hydrogen (λ = 21.1 cm) confirms the previous statement. The values of the Sun’s velocity is about 110 km/s. As a consequence, th...
متن کاملChemical similarities between Galactic bulge and local thick disk red giant stars
Context. The evolution of the Milky Way bulge and its relationship with the other Galactic populations is still poorly understood. The bulge has been suggested to be either a merger-driven classical bulge or the product of a dynamical instability of the inner disk. Aims. To probe the star formation history, the initial mass function and stellar nucleosynthesis of the bulge, we performed an elem...
متن کاملKinematical & Chemical Characteristics of the Thin and Thick Disks
I discuss how the chemical abundance distributions, kinematics and age distributions of stars in the thin and thick disks of the Galaxy can be used to decipher the merger history of the Milky Way, a typical large galaxy. The observational evidence points to a rather quiescent past merging history, unusual in the context of the ‘consensus’ cold-dark-matter cosmology favoured from observations of...
متن کاملMaGICC Thick Disk I: Comparing a Simulated Disk Formed with Stellar Feedback to the Milky Way
We analyse the structure and chemical enrichment of a Milky Way-like galaxy with a stellar mass of 2 × 1010 M�, formed in a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. It is disc dominated with a flat rotation curve, and has a disc scalelength similar to the Milky Way’s, but a velocity dispersion that is ̃50 per cent higher. Examining stars in narrow [Fe/H] and [�/Fe] abundance ranges, we find rema...
