Stellar Rotation from GAIA Spectra
Abstract. Stellar rotation influences our understanding of stellar structure and evolution, binary systems, clusters etc. and therefore the benefits of a large and highly accurate database on stellar rotation, obtained by GAIA, will be manifold. To study the prospects of GAIA measurement of projected rotational velocities vrot sin i, we use synthetic stellar spectra to simulate the determinatio...
متن کاملShape and orientation of stellar velocity ellipsoids in spiral galaxies
We present a numerical study of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution in stellar discs which have developed a saturated, two-armed spiral structure. We follow the growth of the spiral structure deeply into the non-linear regime by solving the Boltzmann moment equations up to second order. By adopting the thin-disc approximation, we restrict our study of the stellar velocity distri...
متن کاملGaia DR1: Velocity and Correlation Analysis
With Gaia’s first data release comes a large amount of new data on stars in the Milky Way. We were interested in a subset of these that were cross referenced with the Tycho-2 catalogue. In this project, we look at two ways of analyzing the data spatial correlation functions and velocity profiles. To find a velocity profile, we looked at a subset of stars along the sun to galactic center line to...
متن کاملThe Effect of Spiral Structure on the Stellar Velocity Distribution in the Solar Neighborhood
Clumps in the solar neighborhood’s stellar velocity distribution could be caused by spiral density waves. In the solar neighborhood, stellar velocities corresponding to orbits that are nearly closed in the frame rotating with a spiral pattern represent likely regions for stellar concentrations. Via particle integration, we show that orbits can intersect the solar neighborhood when they are exci...
متن کاملPeculiarities in the stellar velocity distribution of galaxies with a two- armed spiral structure
We expand our pervious numerical study of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution within the disk of a twoarmed spiral galaxy by considering spiral stellar density waves with different global Fourier amplitudes, C2. We confirm our previous conclusion that the ratio σ1 : σ2 of smallest versus largest principal axes of the stellar velocity ellipsoid becomes abnormally small near the o...
