We use the very large Millennium Simulation of the concordance Λ cold dark matter cosmogony to calibrate the bias and error distribution of Timing Argument estimators of the masses of the Local Group and of the Milky Way. From a large number of isolated spiral–spiral pairs similar to the Milky Way/Andromeda system, we find the interquartile range of the ratio of timing mass to true mass to be a factor of 1.8, while the 5 and 95 per cent points of the distribution of this ratio are separated by a factor of 5.7. Here, we define true mass as the sum of the 'virial' masses, M 200 , of the two dominant galaxies. For present best values of the distance and approach velocity of Andromeda, this leads to a median likelihood estimate of the true mass of the Local Group of 5.27 × 1012 M⊙ or log M LG /M⊙ = 12.72 , with an interquartile range of [12.58, 12.83] and a 5–95 per cent range of [12.26, 13.01]. Thus, a 95 per cent lower confidence limit on the true mass of the Local Group is 1.81 × 1012 M⊙ . A timing estimate of the Milky Way's mass based on the large recession velocity observed for the distant satellite Leo I works equally well, although with larger systematic uncertainties. It gives an estimated virial mass for the Milky Way of 2.43 × 1012 M⊙ with a 95 per cent lower confidence limit of 0.80 × 1012 M⊙ . 相似文献

We study the origin of unresolved X-ray emission from the bulge of M31 based on archival Chandra and XMM–Newton observations. We demonstrate that three different components are present. (i) Broad-band emission from a large number of faint sources – mainly accreting white dwarfs and active binaries, associated with the old stellar population, similar to the Galactic ridge X-ray emission of the Milky Way. The X-ray to K -band luminosity ratios are compatible with those for the Milky Way and for M32; in the 2–10 keV band, the ratio is (3.6 ± 0.2) × 1027 erg s−1 L−1 ⊙ . (ii) Soft emission from ionized gas with a temperature of about ∼300 eV and a mass of ∼2 × 106 M⊙ . The gas distribution is significantly extended along the minor axis of the galaxy, suggesting that it may be outflowing in the direction perpendicular to the galactic disc. The mass and energy supply from evolved stars and Type Ia supernovae is sufficient to sustain the outflow. We also detect a shadow cast on the gas emission by spiral arms and the 10-kpc star-forming ring, confirming significant extent of the gas in the 'vertical' direction. (iii) Hard extended emission from spiral arms, most likely associated with young stellar objects and young stars located in the star-forming regions. The L X /SFR (star formation rate) ratio equals ∼9 × 1038 (erg s−1 )(M⊙ yr−1 )−1 , which is about ∼1/3 of the high-mass X-ray binary contribution, determined earlier from Chandra observations of other nearby galaxies. 相似文献

Possible orbital histories of the Sgr dwarf galaxy are explored. A special-purpose N -body code is used to construct the first models of the Milky Way–Sgr dwarf system in which both the Milky Way and the Sgr dwarf are represented by full N -body systems and followed for a Hubble time. These models are used to calibrate a semi-analytic model of the Sgr dwarf's orbit that enables us to explore a wider parameter space than is accessible to the N -body models. We conclude that the extant data on the Sgr dwarf are compatible with a wide range of orbital histories. At one extreme the Sgr dwarf initially possesses ∼1011 M⊙ and starts from a Galactocentric distance R D (0)≳200 kpc. At the other extreme the Sgr dwarf starts with ∼109 M⊙ and R D (0)∼60 kpc, similar to its present apocentric distance. In all cases the Sgr dwarf is initially dark matter dominated and the current velocity dispersion of the Sgr dwarf's dark matter is tightly constrained to be 21±2 km s−1 . This number is probably compatible with the smaller measured dispersion of the Sgr dwarf's stars because of (i) the dynamical difference between dark and luminous matter, and (ii) velocity anisotropy. 相似文献

We construct a new sample of ∼1700 solar neighbourhood halo subdwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), selected using a reduced proper-motion diagram. Radial velocities come from the SDSS spectra and proper motions from the light-motion curve catalogue of Bramich et al. Using a photometric parallax relation to estimate distances gives us the full phase-space coordinates. Typical velocity errors are in the range 30–50 km s−1 . This halo sample is one of the largest constructed to date and the disc contamination is at a level of ≲1 per cent. This enables us to calculate the halo velocity dispersion to excellent accuracy. We find that the velocity dispersion tensor is aligned in spherical polar coordinates and that (σ r , σφ , σθ ) = (143 ± 2, 82 ± 2, 77 ± 2) km s−1 . The stellar halo exhibits no net rotation, although the distribution of v φ shows tentative evidence for asymmetry. The kinematics are consistent with a mildly flattened stellar density falling with distance like r −3.75 .
Using the full phase-space coordinates, we look for signs of kinematic substructure in the stellar halo. We find evidence for four discrete overdensities localized in angular momentum and suggest that they may be possible accretion remnants. The most prominent is the solar neighbourhood stream previously identified by Helmi et al., but the remaining three are new. One of these overdensities is potentially associated with a group of four globular clusters (NGC 5466, NGC 6934, M2 and M13) and raises the possibility that these could have been accreted as part of a much larger progenitor. 相似文献

We use accurate absolute proper motions and Two-Micron All-Sky Survey Ks -band apparent magnitudes for 364 Galactic RR Lyrae variables to determine the kinematical parameters of the Galactic RR Lyrae population and constrain the zero-point of the Ks -band period–luminosity relation for these stars via statistical parallax. We find the mean velocities of the halo- and thick-disc RR Lyrae populations in the solar neighbourhood to be [ U 0 (Halo), V 0 (Halo), W 0 (Halo)]= (−12 ± 10, −217 ± 9, −6 ± 6) km s−1 and [ U 0 (Disc), V 0 (Disc), W 0 (Disc)]= (−15 ± 7, −44 ± 7, −25 ± 5) km s−1 , respectively, and the corresponding components of the velocity-dispersion ellipsoids, [σ VR (Halo), σ V θ (Halo), σ W (Halo)]= (167 ± 9, 86 ± 6, 78 ± 5) km s−1 and [σ VR (Disc), σ V θ (Disc), σ W (Disc)]= (55 ± 7, 44 ± 6, 30 ± 4) km s−1 , respectively. The fraction of thick-disc stars is estimated at 0.25 ± 0.03 . The corrected infrared period–luminosity relation is , implying a Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) distance modulus of 18.27 ± 0.08 and a solar Galactocentric distance of 7.58 ± 0.40 kpc . Our results suggest no or slightly prograde rotation for the population of halo RR Lyraes in the Milky Way. 相似文献

We explore the hypothesis that some high-velocity runaway stars attain their peculiar velocities in the course of exchange encounters between hard massive binaries and a very massive star (either an ordinary 50–100 M⊙ star or a more massive one, formed through runaway mergers of ordinary stars in the core of a young massive star cluster). In this process, one of the binary components becomes gravitationally bound to the very massive star, while the second one is ejected, sometimes with a high speed. We performed three-body scattering experiments and found that early B-type stars (the progenitors of the majority of neutron stars) can be ejected with velocities of ≳200–400 km s−1 (typical of pulsars), while 3–4 M⊙ stars can attain velocities of ≳300–400 km s−1 (typical of the bound population of halo late B-type stars). We also found that the ejected stars can occasionally attain velocities exceeding the Milky Ways's escape velocity. 相似文献

We use updated data on distances and velocities of galaxies in the proximity of the Local Group (LG) in order to establish properties of the local Hubble flow. For 30 neighbouring galaxies with distances 0.7 < D LG < 3.0 Mpc, the local flow is characterized by the Hubble parameter H loc = (78 ± 2) km s−1 Mpc−1 , the mean-square peculiar velocity σv = 25 km s−1 , corrected for errors of radial velocity measurements (∼4 km s−1 ) and distance measurements (∼10 km s−1 ) , as well as the radius of the zero-velocity surface R 0 = (0.96 ± 0.03) Mpc. The minimum value for σv is achieved when the barycentre of the LG is located at the distance Dc = (0.55 ± 0.05) D M31 towards Andromeda galaxy (M31) corresponding to the Milky Way (MW)-to-M31 mass ratio M MW / M M31 ≃ 4/5 . In the reference frame of the 30 galaxies at 0.7–3.0 Mpc, the LG barycentre has a small peculiar velocity ∼(24 ± 4) km s−1 towards the Sculptor constellation. The derived value of R 0 corresponds to the total mass M T (LG) = (1.9 ± 0.2) 1012 M⊙ with Ωm = 0.24 and a topologically flat universe, a value in good agreement with the sum of virial mass estimates for the MW and M31. 相似文献

High-resolution spectroscopic observations around the Hα line and BVRI photometry of the eclipsing short-period RS CVn star UV Leo are presented. The simultaneous light-curve solution and radial velocity-curve solution led to the following values of the global parameters of the binary: temperatures T 1 = 6000 ± 100 K and T 2 = 5970 ± 20 K ; masses M 1 = 0.976 ± 0.067 M⊙ and M 2 = 0.931 ± 0.052 M⊙ ; separation a = 3.716 ± 0.048 R⊙ ; orbital inclination ; radii R 1 = 1.115 ± 0.052 R⊙ and R 2 = 1.078 ± 0.051 R⊙ ; equatorial velocities V 1 = 98.8 ± 2.3 km s−1 and V 2 = 89.6 ± 2.7 km s−1 . These results lead to the conclusion that the two components of UV Leo are slightly oversized for their masses and lie within the main-sequence band on the mass–radius diagram, close to the isochrone 9 × 1010 yr. 相似文献

The cluster 3C 129 is classified as a rich cluster. An analysis of the properties of the cluster 3C 129 from ROSAT PSPC and HRI, Einstein IPC, and EXOSAT ME observations is presented. The mean temperature from a joint fit of the ROSAT PSPC and EXOSAT ME data is 5.5(±0.2) keV. The luminosity is 0.6×1044 erg s−1 in 0.2–2.4 keV and 2.7×1044 erg s−1 in 0.2–10 keV. We find a cooling flow with a rate of ∼84 M⊙ yr−1 . The central gas density is 6×10−3 cm−3 , and the ICM mass is 3.6×1013 M⊙ . The total cluster mass is ∼5×1014 M⊙ . The X-ray morphology shows an east–west elongation, which is evidence for a recent merger event. The radio source 3C 129.1 is located near the X-ray centre. Another cluster member galaxy (the radio galaxy 3C 129) is a prototype of head-tailed radio galaxies, and is located in the west part of the cluster. The tail points along the gradient of intracluster gas pressure. There are no significant point X-ray sources associated with the AGNs of the two radio galaxies. 相似文献

Using simple stellar population synthesis, we model the bulge stellar contribution in the optical spectrum of a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, RE J1034+396. We find that its bulge stellar velocity dispersion is 67.7 ± 8 km s−1 . The supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass is about (1–4) × 106 M⊙ if it follows the well-known M BH –σ* relation found in quiescent galaxies. We also derive the SMBH mass from the Hβ second moment, which is consistent with that from its bulge stellar velocity dispersion. The SMBH mass of (1–4) × 106 M⊙ implies that the X-ray quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) of RE J1034+396 can be scaled to a high-frequency QPO at 27–108 Hz found in Galactic black hole binaries with a 10-M⊙ black hole. With the mass distribution in different age stellar populations, we find that the mean specific star formation rate (SSFR) over the past 0.1 Gyr is 0.0163 ± 0.0011 Gyr−1 , the stellar mass in the logarithm is 10.155 ± 0.06 in units of solar mass and the current star formation rate is 0.23 ± 0.016 M⊙ yr−1 . For RE J1034+396, there is no relation between the Eddington ratio and the SSFR as suggested by Chen et al., despite a larger scatter in their relation. We also suggest that about 7.0 per cent of the total Hα luminosity and 50 per cent of the total [O ii ] luminosity come from the star formation process. 相似文献

We present a new determination of the local volume-averaged star formation rate from the 1.4-GHz luminosity function of star forming galaxies. Our sample, taken from the B ≤12 Revised Shapley–Ames catalogue (231 normal spiral galaxies over an effective area of 7.1 sr) has ≃100 per cent complete radio detections and is insensitive to dust obscuration and cirrus contamination. After removal of known active galaxies, the best-fitting Schechter function has a faint-end slope of −1.27±0.07 in agreement with the local H α luminosity function, characteristic luminosity L ∗=(2.6±0.7)×1022 W Hz−1 and density φ ∗=(4.8±1.1)×10−4 Mpc−3 . The inferred local radio luminosity density of (1.73±0.37±0.03)×1019 W Hz−1 Mpc−3 (Poisson noise, large-scale structure fluctuations) implies a volume-averaged star formation rate ∼2 times larger than the Gallego et al. H α estimate, i.e. ρ 1.4 GHz =(2.10±0.45±0.04)×10−2 M⊙ yr−1 Mpc−3 for a Salpeter initial mass function from 0.1–125 M⊙ and Hubble constant of 50 km s−1 Mpc−1 . We demonstrate that the Balmer decrement is a highly unreliable extinction estimator, and argue that optical–ultraviolet (UV) star formation rates (SFRs) are easily underestimated, particularly at high redshift. 相似文献

The theory of polar magnetic burial in accreting neutron stars predicts that a mountain of accreted material accumulates at the magnetic poles of the star, and that, as the mountain spreads equatorward, it is confined by, and compresses, the equatorial magnetic field. Here, we extend previous, axisymmetric, Grad–Shafranov calculations of the hydromagnetic structure of a magnetic mountain up to accreted masses as high as M a = 6 × 10−4 M⊙ , by importing the output from previous calculations (which were limited by numerical problems and the formation of closed bubbles to M a < 10−4 M⊙ ) into the time-dependent, ideal-magnetohydrodynamic code zeus-3d and loading additional mass on to the star dynamically. The rise of buoyant magnetic bubbles through the accreted layer is observed in these experiments. We also investigate the stability of the resulting hydromagnetic equilibria by perturbing them in zeus-3d . Surprisingly, it is observed that the equilibria are marginally stable for all M a ≤ 6 × 10−4 M⊙ ; the mountain oscillates persistently when perturbed, in a combination of Alfvén and acoustic modes, without appreciable damping or growth, and is therefore not disrupted (apart from a transient Parker instability initially, which expels <1 per cent of the mass and magnetic flux). 相似文献

Using eight dark matter haloes extracted from fully self-consistent cosmological N -body simulations, we perform microlensing experiments. A hypothetical observer is placed at a distance of 8.5 kpc from the centre of the halo measuring optical depths, event durations and event rates towards the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud. We simulate 1600 microlensing experiments for each halo. Assuming that the whole halo consists of massive astronomical compact halo objects (MACHOs), f = 1.0 , and a single MACHO mass is m M = 1.0 M⊙ , the simulations yield mean values of τ= 4.7+5.0 −2.2 × 10−7 and Γ= 1.6+1.3 −0.6 × 10−6 events star−1 yr−1 . We find that triaxiality and substructure can have major effects on the measured values so that τ and Γ values of up to three times the mean can be found. If we fit our values of τ and Γ to the MACHO collaboration observations, we find f = 0.23+0.15 −0.13 and m M = 0.44+0.24 −0.16 . Five out of the eight haloes under investigation produce f and m M values mainly concentrated within these bounds. 相似文献

We explore the predictions of the standard hierarchical clustering scenario of galaxy formation, regarding the numbers and metallicities of PopIII stars that are likely to be found within our Galaxy today. By PopIII we refer to stars formed at large redshift ( z >4), with low metallicities ([ Z /Z⊙ ]<−2.5) and in small systems (total mass ≲ 2×108 M⊙ ) that are extremely sensitive to stellar feedback, and which through a prescribed merging history end up becoming part of the Milky Way today. An analytic, extended Press–Schechter formalism is used to obtain the mass functions of haloes which will host PopIII stars at a given redshift, and which will end up in Milky Way sized systems today. Each of these is modelled as a mini-galaxy, with a detailed treatment of the dark halo structure, angular momentum distribution, final gas temperature and disc instabilities, all of which determine the fraction of the baryons that are subject to star formation. The use of new primordial metallicity stellar evolutionary models allows us to trace the history of the stars formed, and give accurate estimates of their expected numbers today and their location in L /L⊙ versus T /K Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagrams. A first comparison with observational data suggests that the initial mass function (IMF) of the first stars was increasingly high-mass weighted towards high redshifts, levelling off at z ≳9 at a characteristic stellar mass scale m s =10–15 M⊙ . 相似文献

We explore the implications of a possible cosmic-ray (CR) background generated during the first supernova explosions that end the brief lives of massive Population III stars. We show that such a CR background could have significantly influenced the cooling and collapse of primordial gas clouds in minihaloes around redshifts of z ∼ 15–20 , provided the CR flux was sufficient to yield an ionization rate greater than about 10−19 s−1 near the centre of the minihalo. The presence of CRs with energies ≲107 eV would indirectly enhance the molecular cooling in these regions, and we estimate that the resulting lower temperatures in these minihaloes would yield a characteristic stellar mass as low as ∼10 M⊙ . CRs have a less-pronounced effect on the cooling and collapse of primordial gas clouds inside more massive dark matter haloes with virial masses ≳108 M⊙ at the later stages of cosmological structure formation around z ∼ 10–15 . In these clouds, even without CR flux the molecular abundance is already sufficient to allow cooling to the floor set by the temperature of the cosmic microwave background. 相似文献

We investigate the behaviour of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars between metallicities Z = 10−4 and 10−8 . We determine which stars undergo an episode of flash-driven mixing, where protons are ingested into the intershell convection zone, as they enter the thermally pulsing AGB phase and which undergo third dredge-up. We find that flash-driven mixing does not occur above a metallicity of Z = 10−5 for any mass of star and that stars above 2 M⊙ do not experience this phenomenon at any metallicity. We find carbon ingestion (CI), the mixing of carbon into the tail of hydrogen-burning region, occurs in the mass range 2 M⊙ to around 4 M⊙ . We suggest that CI may be a weak version of the flash-driven mechanism. We also investigate the effects of convective overshooting on the behaviour of these objects. Our models struggle to explain the frequency of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars that have both significant carbon and nitrogen enhancement. Carbon can be enhanced through flash-driven mixing, CI or just third dredge-up. Nitrogen can be enhanced through hot bottom burning and the occurrence of hot dredge-up also converts carbon into nitrogen. The C/N ratio may be a good indicator of the mass of the primary AGB stars. 相似文献

We present X-ray, broad-band optical and low-frequency radio observations of the bright type IIP supernova SN 2004et. The Chandra X-ray Observatory observed the supernova at three epochs, and the optical coverage spans a period of ∼470 d since explosion. The X-ray emission softens with time, and we characterize the X-ray luminosity evolution as L X ∝ t −0.4 . We use the observed X-ray luminosity to estimate a mass-loss rate for the progenitor star of ∼2 × 10−6 M⊙ yr−1 . The optical light curve shows a pronounced plateau lasting for about 110 d. Temporal evolution of photospheric radius and colour temperature during the plateau phase is determined by making blackbody fits. We estimate the ejected mass of 56 Ni to be 0.06 ± 0.03 M⊙ . Using the expressions of Litvinova & Nadëzhin we estimate an explosion energy of (0.98 ± 0.25) × 1051 erg . We also present a single epoch radio observation of SN 2004et. We compare this with the predictions of the model proposed by Chevalier, Fransson & Nymark. These multiwavelength studies suggest a main-sequence progenitor mass of ∼20 M⊙ for SN 2004et. 相似文献

We present the results on period search and modelling of the cool DAV star KUV 02464+3239. Our observations resolved the multiperiodic pulsational behaviour of the star. In agreement with its position near the red edge of the DAV instability strip, it shows large amplitude, long-period pulsation modes, and has a strongly non-sinusoidal light curve. We determined six frequencies as normal modes and revealed remarkable short-term amplitude variations. A rigorous test was performed for the possible source of amplitude variation: beating of modes, effect of noise, unresolved frequencies or rotational triplets. Among the best-fitting models resulting from a grid search, we selected three that gave l = 1 solutions for the largest amplitude modes. These models had masses of 0.645, 0.650 and 0.680 M ⊙ . The three 'favoured' models have M H between 2.5 × 10−5 and 6.3 × 10−6 M * and give 14.2–14.8 mas seismological parallax. The 0.645 M ⊙ (11 400 K) model also matches the spectroscopic log g and T eff within 1σ. We investigated the possibility of mode trapping and concluded that while it can explain high amplitude modes, it is not required. 相似文献

We present observations of Sakurai's Object obtained at 1–5 μm between 2003 and 2007. By fitting a radiative transfer model to an echelle spectrum of CO fundamental absorption features around 4.7 μm , we determine the excitation conditions in the line-forming region. We find 12 C/13 C = 3.5+2.0 −1.5 , consistent with CO originating in ejecta processed by the very late thermal pulse, rather than in the pre-existing planetary nebula. We demonstrate the existence of 2.2 × 10−6 ≤ M CO ≤ 2.7 × 10−6 M⊙ of CO ejecta outside the dust, forming a high-velocity wind of 500 ± 80 km s−1 . We find evidence for significant weakening of the CO band and cooling of the dust around the central star between 2003 and 2005. The gas and dust temperatures are implausibly high for stellar radiation to be the sole contributor. 相似文献

We have observed the z =0.78 cluster MS 1137.5+6625 with the Ryle Telescope (RT) at 15 GHz. After subtraction of contaminating radio sources in the field, we find a Sunyaev–Zel'dovich flux decrement of -421±60 μJy on the ≈0.65 k λ baseline of the RT, spatially coincident with the optical and X-ray positions for the cluster core.
For a spherical King-profile cluster model, the best fit to our flux measurement has a core radius θC =20 arcsec , consistent with previous X-ray observations, and a central temperature decrement Δ T =650±92 μK .
Using this model, we calculate that the cluster has a gas mass inside a radius of 2.9×1013 M⊙ for an Ω M =1 universe and 1.6×1013 M⊙ for Ω M =0.3 , ΩΛ =0.7 . We compare this model with existing measurements of the total mass of the cluster, based on gravitational lensing, and estimate a gas fraction for MS 1137.5+6625 of ≈8 per cent. 相似文献
