Spiral arms, bar shape and bulge microlensing in the Milky Way
A new model for the luminosity distribution in the inner Milky Way is found, using a non-parametric penalized maximum-likelihood algorithm to deproject a dereddened COBE/DIRBE L-band map of the inner Galaxy. The model is also constrained by the apparent magnitude (line-of-sight) distributions of clump giant stars in certain bulge fields. An important new feature is the inclusion of a spiral arm...
متن کاملFluorine Abundances in the Milky Way Bulge
Fluorine (F) abundances are derived in a sample of 6 bulge red giants in Baade’s Window. These giants span a factor of 10 in metallicity and this is the first study to define the behavior of F with metallicity in the bulge. The bulge results show an increase in F/O with increasing oxygen. This trend overlaps what is found in the disk at comparable metallicities, with the most oxygen-rich bulge ...
متن کاملMolecular Gas, Kinematics, and Ob Star Formation in the Spiral Arms of the Southern Milky Way
The rotation curve for the IV galactic quadrant, within the solar circle, is derived from the Columbia University U. de Chile CO(J=1→0) survey of molecular gas. A new sampling, four times denser in longitude than in our previous analysis, is used to compute kinematical parameters that require derivatives w/r to galactocentric radius; the angular velocity Ω(R), the epicyclic frequency κ(R), and ...
متن کاملThe Spiral Arms and Interarm Separation of the Milky Way: an Updated Statistical Study
Measurements of the spiral arms (their pitch angle, number, shape, and the interarm separation) in the Milky Way have been published in the period from 1980 to early 2005, using different methods that yielded slightly or widely differing values, depending on hidden or unknown biases. A meta-analysis would be useful for searching for trends among these individual studies. First, we find a conver...
متن کاملMass Distribution and Bulge Formation in the Milky Way Galaxy
In its first part, this paper summarizes recent work on the mass and shape of the Galactic dark halo. The second part presents a review of the large-scale structure of the Milky Way, and of the evidence that the inner Galaxy is dominated by baryonic matter. This is briefly compared with the predictions of ΛCDM and MOND. Finally, a summary is given of bulge formation from clumpy, gas-rich disks,...
