Is Ursa Major II the Progenitor of the Orphan Stream?
Prominent in the ‘Field of Streams’ – the Sloan Digital Sky Survey map of substructure in the Galactic halo – is an ‘Orphan Stream’ without obvious progenitor. In this numerical study, we show a possible connection between the newly found dwarf satellite Ursa Major II (UMa II) and the Orphan Stream. We provide numerical simulations of the disruption of UMa II that match the observational data o...
متن کاملTurbulence in the Ursa Major cirrus cloud
High resolution 21 cm observations of the Ursa Major cirrus revealed highly filamentary structures down to the 0.03 pc resolution. These filaments, still present in the line centroid map, show multi-Gaussian components and seem to be associated with high vorticity regions. Probability density functions of line centroid increments and structure functions were computed on the line centroid field,...
متن کاملPhotometric Properties of Kiso Ultraviolet-Excess Galaxies in the Lynx-Ursa Major Region
We have performed a systematic study of several regions in the sky where the number of galaxies exhibiting star formation (SF) activity is greater than average. We used Kiso ultraviolet-excess galaxies (KUGs) as our SF-enhanced sample. By statistically comparing the KUG and non-KUG distributions, we discovered four KUG-rich regions with a size of ∼ 10×10. One of these regions corresponds spatia...
متن کاملCopper and Barium Abundances in the Ursa Major Moving Group
We present Cu and Ba abundances for 7 G-K dwarf stars, members of the solarmetallicity, 0.3 Gyr old Ursa Major Moving Group. All analyzed member stars show [Ba/Fe] excesses of +0.3-plus, associated with [Cu/Fe] deficiencies of up to −0.23 dex. The present results suggest that there is an anti-correlation between the abundances of Cu and the heavy elements produced by the main component of the n...
متن کاملA search for β Pictoris - like Ca II circumstellar gas around Ursa Major Stream stars ?
We carried out an optical spectroscopic survey of twenty one stars to search for Ca ii circumstellar gas at the stellar velocity similar to that found in the β Pictoris disk. The surveyed stars are A-type stars with large v sin i in the Ursa Major stellar kinematic group. No evidence of circumstellar gas was found around any of the stars. This result suggests that β Pictoris either is a very pe...
