The evolution of the Milky Way disc I. Vertical structure and local constraints
Deriving the Initial Mass Function and the Star Formation Rate (hereafter IMF and SFR) history of disc stars from local data implies assumptions concerning the vertical structure of the disc. Conversely, an accurate description of the vertical density of the stellar disc would require a precise knowledge of the stellar formation history. In this paper, the constraints available from local data ...
متن کاملDetailed abundances from integrated-light spectroscopy: Milky Way globular clusters
Context. Integrated-light spectroscopy at high spectral resolution is rapidly maturing as a powerful way to measure detailed chemical abundances for extragalactic globular clusters (GCs). Aims. We test the performance of our analysis technique for integrated-light spectra by applying it to seven well-studied Galactic GCs that span a wide range of metallicities. Methods. Integrated-light spectra...
متن کاملA simple model for the evolution of disc galaxies: The Milky Way
A simple model for the evolution of disc galaxies is presented. We adopt three numbers from observations of the Milky Way disc, Σd the local surface mass density, rd the stellar scale length (of the assumedly exponential disc) and vc the amplitude of the (assumedly flat) rotation curve, and physically, the (local) dynamical Kennicutt star formation prescription, standard chemical evolution equa...
متن کامل3D self-consistent N -body barred models of the Milky Way II. Gas dynamics
The gas dynamics in the Galactic disc is modeled by releasing an initially axisymmetric SPH component in a completely self-consistent and symmetry-free 3D N -body simulation of the Milky Way in which the stellar components display a COBE-like bar. The density centre of the stellar bar wanders around the centre of mass and the resulting gas flow is asymmetric and non-stationary, reproducing the ...
متن کامل3D self-consistent N-body barred models of the Milky Way I. Stellar dynamics
Many 3DN -body barred models of the Galaxy extending beyond the Solar circle are realised by selfconsistent evolution of various bar unstable axisymmetric models. The COBE/DIRBE K-band map, corrected for extinction, is used to constrain the location of the observer in these models, assuming a constant mass-to-light ratio. The resulting view points in the best matching models suggest that the in...
