Milky Way Rotation from Cepheids
The 87 new 0 determinations were added to the existing sample of cepheids with known radial velocities, forming an extended sample of 278 galactic classical cepheids with reliable radial velocity and photometry. We then calculated distances for these objects through a Period-Luminosity-Colour relation due to Feast & Walker (1987). The position of the cepheids in the galactic disk as given by th...
متن کاملThe Milky Way Rotation Curve and Its Vertical Derivatives inside the Solar Circle
We measure the Galactic rotation curve and its first two vertical derivatives in the first and fourth quadrants of the Milky Way using the 21 cm VGPS and SGPS. We find tangent velocities of the atomic gas as a function of galactic longitude and latitude by fitting an analytic line profile to the edges of the velocity profiles. The shape of the analytic profile depends only on the tangent veloci...
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...
متن کاملUnified Rotation Curve of the Galaxy — Decomposition into de Vaucouleurs Bulge , Disk , Dark Halo , and the 9 - kpc Rotation Dip —
We present a unified rotation curve of the Galaxy re-constructed from the existing data by re-calculating the distances and velocities for a set of galactic constants R0 =8 kpc and V0 =200 km s . We decompose it into a bulge with de Vaucouleurs-law profile of half-mass scale radius 0.5 kpc and mass 1.8×10M⊙, an exponential disk of scale radius 3.5 kpc of 6.5× 10M⊙, and an isothermal dark halo o...
