Mass Distribution in Our Galaxy
This article summarizes recent work on the luminosity and mass distribution of the Galactic bulge and disk, and on the mass of the Milky Way’s dark halo. A new luminosity model consistent with the COBE NIR data and the apparent magnitude distributions of bulge clump giant stars has bulge/bar length of ' 3.5 kpc, axis ratios of 1:(0.3-0.4):0.3, and short disk scale-length (' 2.1 kpc). Gas-dynami...
متن کاملMass of the Galaxy Inferred from Outer Rotation Curve
Using an outer rotation curve of the Galaxy, we explore the galactic constants and the mass of the Galaxy. We show that Θ0 of 200 km s −1 is more favorable than the IAU standard value of 220 km s, and also show that if Θ0 is smaller than 207 km s −1 the rotation curve beyond 2R0 is declining in Keplerian fashion. In the case of Θ0= 200 km s −1 and R0= 7.6 kpc, the total mass and the extent of t...
متن کاملDI in the outer Galaxy
We report on a deep search with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope towards the galactic anticenter for the 327 MHz hyperfine transition of DI. This is a favorable direction for a search because: (i) the HI optical depth is high due to velocity crowding; (ii) the observed molecular column density is low (implying that most of the deuterium would probably be in atomic form, rather than in H...
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,...
متن کاملConstraining the mass distribution of galaxies using galaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters and in the field
We present a maximum-likelihood analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing effects in galaxy clusters and in the field. The aim is to determine the accuracy and robustness of constraints that can be obtained on galaxy halo properties in both environments the high density cluster and the low density field. This paper is theoretically motivated, therefore, we work exclusively with simulated data (neverthe...
