Mass 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 کاملThe orbits of 48 globular clusters in a Milky - Way - Like Barred Galaxy
The effect of a barred potential (such as the one of the Milky Way) on the galactic orbits of forty-eight globular clusters for which absolute proper motions are known is studied. The orbital characteristics are compared with those obtained for the case of an axisymmetric galactic potential. Tidal radii are computed and discussed for both the better known axisymmetric case and that including a ...
متن کاملFluorine Abundances in the Milky Way Bulge
Fluorine (F) abundances are derived in a sample of 6 bulge red giants in Baade’s Window. These giants span a factor of 10 in metallicity and this is the first study to define the behavior of F with metallicity in the bulge. The bulge results show an increase in F/O with increasing oxygen. This trend overlaps what is found in the disk at comparable metallicities, with the most oxygen-rich bulge ...
متن کاملChemodynamical Simulations of the Milky Way Galaxy
We present chemodynamical simulations of a Milky Way-type galaxy using a selfconsistent hydrodynamical code that includes supernova feedback and chemical enrichment, and predict the spatial distribution of elements from Oxygen to Zinc. In the simulated galaxy, the kinematical and chemical properties of the bulge, disk, and halo are consistent with the observations. The bulge formed from the ass...
متن کاملThe Disc Origin of the Milky Way Bulge
The Galactic bulge, that is the prominent out-of-plane over-density present in the inner few kiloparsecs of the Galaxy, is a complex structure, as the morphology, kinematics, chemistry, and ages of its stars indicate. To understand the nature of its main components—those at [Fe/H] −1 dex—it is necessary to make an inventory of the stellar populations of the Galactic disc(s), and of their border...
