Title: | Evidence of a large-scale positive rotation-metallicity correlation in the Galactic thick disc | Authors: | RE FIORENTIN, Paola LATTANZI, Mario Gilberto SPAGNA, Alessandro |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 484 | Issue: | 1 | First Page: | L69 | Abstract: | This study is based on high quality astrometric and spectroscopic data from the most recent releases by Gaia and APOGEE. We select 58 882 thin and thick disc red giants in the Galactocentric (cylindrical) distance range 5 < R < 13 kpc and within |z| < 3 kpc, for which full chemo-kinematical information is available. Radial chemical gradients, partial {[M/H]} / partial {R}, and rotational velocity-metallicity correlations, partial V_φ / partial {[M/H]}, are re-derived firmly uncovering that the thick disc velocity-metallicity correlation maintains its positiveness over the 8 kpc range explored. This observational result is important as it sets experimental constraints on recent theoretical studies on the formation and evolution of the Milky Way disc and on cosmological models of Galaxy formation. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30437 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1810.07643v1 https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/484/1/L69/5142291 |
