3 Stellar population concept Family defined by common characteristics : Abundance Age Kinematics Space distributions Age => time => history Tracers of :, potential Galactic evolution Slide 5 Slide 6
4 Bulge and central regions Central bulge : less than 0.5 deg from center high density, high mass clusters, young population, high metallicity central black hole Outer bulge : triaxial. Extension : degres. Bar-like Metallicity range : -1.6 to , alpha enhanced (Rich & Mc William, 2000) mean [Fe/H]=-0.3 Metallicity gradient : Minniti (1996): yes, Ibata & Gilmore (1995): No Kinematics : isotropic oblate rotator (Kent (1992), Kuijken (1995), Ibata & Gilmore (1995) or not (Rich 2007) Slide 7 Bulge star formation History of star formation Either : single burst (old stars) at epoch of halo formation (like elliptical galaxies) Or : longer star formation (range of ages) if formed from disc instability (bar) Or : discret distribution of ages (reliques of accretion) Probably a mix of the three (which proportion?) Slide 8
5 The bar First bar indication from gas dynamics (De Vaucouleurs, 1964, Kerr (1967),...) Stellar bar : IRAS (Nakada et al, 1991, Blitz & Spergel, 1991) AGB (Weinberg, 1992) COBE -DIRBE (Binney, Gerhard, Spergel, 1997) Microlensing experiments (events + variables) (Minniti, 1997,...) 3D models (Binney, Gerhard, Fux, Aguerri et al.,...) Bar towards us in the first quadrant (angle~ degres, corotation ~ 3-5 kpc, at the beginning of the spiral structure) Slide 9 Bar from MSX 5.7 microns Slide 10
6 Bar from 2MASS Slide 11 Bar angle Lopez- Corredoira et al external bar : Inside bar contaminated by the bulge Projection effects Extinction correction Slide 12
7 Bar : GLIMPSE a p 2.5 d(log n) /dm 1 GLIMPSE star counts at 4.5 microns. R=3, 4, 5 kpc (Benjamin et al, 2006) Bar angle and length R ~4.5 kpc Slide 13 Bar : secular evolution in the disc by instability Bulge : spheroidal structure old in center of disc galaxies similar to Spheroidal galaxies What do we see in the center of the Milky Way? Baade's window far from the plane (bulge...) In-plane observations difficult Need: combination of data in and out plane, and dynamical models for bulge+bar Slide 14
8 Bulge dynamics Hydrodynamic simulations Nakasato & Nomoto (2003) : Bulge stars are formed during accretions of sub-halos (formation time scale ~0.5 Gyr). A second component forms later in the central disc. Distribution of metallicities and velocitites compatible with Minniti observations Same results in simulations from : Ferreras, Wyse & Silk, 2003, MNRAS Slide 15 Slide 16
9 Simulation: Nakasato, Data : Miniti (1996) Slide 17 Bulge/Bar models self-consistent N-body model matched to a luminosity model from COBE-DIRBE deprojection (Bissantz, Debattista & Gerhard 2004) Test with Ogle 2 proper motions (Rattenbury et al. 2007) Slide 18
10 De Battista model good at low latitude deviates from data at high latitudes? Slide 19 Bulge kinematics Zhao96 Fux97 Sellwood93 Rich et al radial velocities of M giants and Pne (Beaulieu et al) Test of dynamical models The bulge does not rotate like a solid body No good dynamical model Slide 20
11 The disc Is exponential radially at the solar position (R,z) = 0 x exp (-(R-R 0 )/h R )x exp (-(z-z 0 )/h z ) h R ~ kpc, h Z depends on age( pc) Inside cutoff? (Paczynski: yes, Minniti:No, Picaud: yes, Lopez- Corredoira: yes) Outside cutoff : yes (Djorgovski & Sosin, 1989, Robin et al. 1992, Freudenreich, ) R=10-15 kpc Inhomegeous (clusters, associations, groups...) in young structures (age< 1 Gyr?) Slide 21 Disc structure Ring (gaseous but also stellar), continuous? Stable? Related to the bar? Spiral structure (2 or 4 arm pattern + a local arm) Warp : stellar warp may not follow the gas Flare : some indications in stars Other local structure : Gould belt Slide 22
12 Spiral structure Georgelin & Georgelin (1977) Ortiz & Lépine (1994) Slide 23 Warp Warp in Gas in Dust in stars Slide 24

16 warp model slope 0.09 Slide 31 Slide 32
17 Warp parameters Node angle : about center-anticenter +/- 10 deg Start position : 8.5 to 11 kpc warp : 0.06 to 0.31 (2MASS fitting => 0.09) HI North/south asymmetry: z c max : North :4 kpc South : -1.5 kpc Slide 33 Warp origin External torque exerted on the disc : Mis-aligned or flattened halo Tidal interaction with small companion galaxies, for example LMC (Weinberg & Blitz 2006) Quite long-lived structure (old stars) Gas / dust /stars respond differently Slide 34
18 Flare CO: hz from 100 pc at R=10.5kpc to 180pc at 12.5kpc (Grabelsky et al, 1987) Molecular clouds : hz from 200 to 800 pc with R from 9 to 19 kpc (May et al, 1997) HI : hz=3 kpc at R=24 kpc (Diplas & Savage, 1991) COBE/DIRBE : hz from 134 to 188 pc with R=0.5 to 1. R0 (Drimmel et Spergel, 2001) Flare kinematical signature in GAIA : variation of Kz with R Slide 35 Disc inhomogeneities The local disc is not well mixed : A-F Hipparcos sample : less than 7% in clusters, but 63% in (Eggen's) superclusters of large velocity dispersion (6 kms/s) (Chereul et al., 1998) Stars form in groups, from bursts separated by quiescent periods. A fraction of initial groups are gravitationally bounds and forms open clusters. Slide 36
19 Thick disc Thick disc existence well established More and more evidence for a scenario of accretion Probable characteristics : Scale height pc, scale length similar or larger than disc Local density ~ 2-6% of disc Kinematics : Asymetric drift ~35-40 km/s, Z ~40 kms/s Abundances : [Fe/H] ~ /- 0.3, alpha enhanced, no vertical gradient Slide 37 Thick disc formation Top-down scenarios : Star formation during collapse halo=> disc Bottom-up scenarios : Posterior to the disc formation. secular evolution (heating) => orbit diffusion rapid evolution (merger) => rapid heating, re-formation of the thin disc Slide 38
20 thick disc formation Top-down scenarios : Gradients (kinematics, metallicity) Distinct from thin disc Continuity with halo? Intermediate rotation Bottom-up scenarios No gradients Discontinuity with halo (Dis)-continuity with disc Intermediate kinematics abundances ratios like old disc Slide 39 Thick disc Low metallicity tail -1.6<[Fe/H]<-1. Age : a bit younger than the spheroid (~12 Gyr), short period of formation (< 1 Gyr) In situ abundances and kinematical measurements limited to the solar neighborhood (~2 kpc in R) Is the thick disc homogeneous? Where is the encounter? GAIA : Large scale studies, thick disc in central regions, measurement of flaring, kinematics vs abundances, necessary for a detailed scenario of formation Slide 40
21 Spheroid (stellar halo) Oldest known population (12-14 Gyr) Non rotating (or so) V < 50 km/s (partly retrograde?) Pressure supported. Velocity ellipsoid orientation uncertain at high z Lowest abundances : [Fe/H] -4 to -1.5, alpha enhanced (relative to solar), gradients? Short period of star formation Density law R -n, n=2.5-3, slightly flattened (0.5 to 0.8) Local density */pc 3 (a few of the thin disc) Slide 41 Spheroid homogeneity How much of the spheroid formed from accretion of hierarchical fragments? Scenarios : Dissipationnal collapse (ELS) and/or Accretions (Searle & Zinn) Large scale homogeneous surveys : Many debris streams recently found (Vivas & Zinn, 2000AAS, Yanny et al, 2000, Ivezic et al, 2000,..., Belokurov, et al. 2006) GAIA: Large scale inhomogeneities in phase space. True distances for a part of it. Abundances. Constraints on formation and merging history. Slide 42

25 Simulation of halo accretions in -CDM : Accretion at : dark grey: z>2.4, light grey: 0.83<z<2.4, black z< % of the mass accreted at z=2.4 Slide 49 Disc evolution Age : Individual ages difficult to estimate - coronal activity X, H (young stars) - narrow and intermediate band photometry stars > 1 Mo Age of a population : turn-off, clump, white dwarfs, actinides Correlations between age and abundances age and kinematics Slide 50
26 Venn et al 2004 Slide 51 Abundances : main features Metallicity distribution (G dwarf problem? probably not) Radial gradient : dex/kpc Gradients explained by formation scenario inside-out Vertical gradients explained by orbital diffusion and Age/ z relation GAIA : Detailed description of kinematics/abundances/age relations far away from the solar neighborhood Slide 52
27 Abundances [Fe/H] vs Age [Fe/H] vs [O/Fe] local late type dwarfs Rocha-Pinto et al 2004 Slide 53 Tsujimoto et al, 1996 Slide 54
28 [O/Fe] vs [Fe/H] SNII : Massive single stars => reject alpha elements and a bit of iron. Evolution time : short SNIa : binaries (WD + giant) : instability of the accreting WD when M>1.4 Mo => explosion Reject : Iron, and iron peak elements Evolution time : longer Slide 55 Notions of kinematics and dynamics Disc kinematics : Dominated by differential rotation (circular orbits, nearly flat rotation curve) Can be described by a velocity ellipsoid of orthogonal vectors ( U,, ) U towards galactic center, V towards rotation, W towards NGP The distribution can be assumed to be gaussian (to a first approximation) on each vector Velocity dispersion increases with age (disk heating due to orbit diffusion) Origin of orbit diffusion : spiral structure, interaction with GMC,...
