Cosmic stellar relics in the Galactic halo
We study the stellar population history and chemical evolution of the Milky Way in a hierarchical ΛCDM model for structure formation. Using a Monte Carlo method based on the semi-analytical extended Press & Schechter formalism, we develop a new code GAMETE (GAlaxy MErger Tree & Evolution) to reconstruct the merger tree of the Galaxy and follow the evolution of gas and stars along the hierarchic...
متن کاملFormation of the Galactic Stellar Halo: Origin of the Metallicity-Eccentricity Relation.
Motivated by the recently improved knowledge on the kinematic and chemical properties of the Galactic metal-poor stars, we present the numerical simulation for the formation of the Galactic stellar halo to interpret the observational results. As a model for the Galaxy contraction, we adopt the currently standard theory of galaxy formation based on the hierarchical assembly of the cold dark matt...
متن کاملStructure of the Galactic Stellar Halo Prior to Disk Formation
We develop a method for recovering the global density distribution of the ancient Galactic stellar halo prior to disk formation, based on the present orbits of metal-poor stars observed in the solar neighborhood. The method relies on the adiabatic invariance of the action integrals of motion for the halo population during the slow accumulation of a disk component, subsequent to earlier halo for...
متن کاملNot Enough Stellar Mass Machos in the Galactic Halo
We present an update of results from the search for microlensing towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (lmc) by eros (Expérience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres). We have now monitored 25 million stars over three years. Because of the small number of observed microlensing candidates (four), our results are best presented as upper limits on the amount of dark compact objects in the halo of our Galaxy...
متن کاملPalomar 13: an Unusual Stellar System in the Galactic Halo
We report the first results of a program to study the internal kinematics of globular clusters in the outer halo of the Milky Way. Using the Keck telescope and High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer, we have measured precise radial velocities for 30 candidate red giants in the direction of Palomar 13, an object traditionally cataloged as a compact, low-luminosity globular cluster. We have combine...
