MaGICC 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 کاملBarium even-to-odd isotope abundance ratios in thick disk and thin disk stars
We present the Ba even-to-odd isotope abundance ratios in 25 cool dwarf stars with the metallicity [Fe/H] ranging between 0.25 and –1.35. Our method takes advantage of the hyperfine structure (HFS) affecting the Ba resonance line of the odd isotopes. The fractional abundance of the odd isotopes of Ba is derived from a requirement that Ba abundances from the resonance line λ 4554 and subordin...
متن کاملThe Genesis of the Milky Way’s Thick Disk via Stellar Migration
We compare the spatial, kinematic, and metallicity distributions of stars in the Milky Way disk, as observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Geneva-Copenhagen Survey, to predictions made by N-body simulations that naturally include radial migration as proposed by Sellwood Binney. In these simulations, stars that migrate radially outward feel a decreased restoring force, consequentially they...
متن کاملThick Disks of Lenticular Galaxies ⋆ 3 D - photometric thin / thick disk decomposition of eight edge - on S 0 galaxies
Thick disks are faint and extended stellar components found around several disk galaxies including our Milky Way. The Milky Way thick disk, the only one studied in detail, contains mostly old disk stars (≈ 10 Gyr), so that thick disks are likely to trace the early stages of disk evolution. Previous detections of thick disk stellar light in external galaxies have been originally made for early-t...
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...
