The Emergence of the Thick Disk in a CDM Universe
The disk galaxy simulated using our chemo-dynamical galaxy formation code, GCD+, is shown to have a thick disk component. This is evidenced by the velocity dispersion versus age relation for solar neighbourhood stars, which clearly shows an abrupt increase in velocity dispersion at lookback time of approximately 8 Gyrs, and is in excellent agreement with observation. These thick disk stars are ...
متن کاملElemental 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 کاملHipparcos subdwarf parallaxes - metal-rich clusters and the thick disk
We have used main-sequence fitting to calibrate the distances to the globular clusters NGC 6397, M5, NGC 288, M71 and 47 Tucanae, matching the cluster photometry against data for subdwarfs with precise Hipparcos parallax measurements and accurate abundance determinations. Both the cluster and subdwarf abundance scales are tied to high-resolution spectroscopic analyses. The distance moduli that ...
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...
متن کاملV371 Per — A thick-disk, short-period F/1O Cepheid
V371 Per was found to be a double-mode Cepheid with a fundamental mode period of 1.738 days, the shortest among Galactic beat Cepheids, and an unusually high period ratio of 0.731, while the other Galactic beat Cepheids have period ratios between 0.697 and 0.713. The latter suggests that the star has a metallicity [Fe/H] between −1 and −0.7. The derived distance from the Galactic plane places i...
