  • 摘要
    我們利用恆星計數的方式,分析二微米巡天觀測(2MASS) 資料,以得知我們銀河盤面的結構。分析銀盤結構的模型主要由兩的參數所構成 — 一個為薄盤另一個為厚盤,這兩種盤上的恆星分佈,以銀河中心為點,在徑向和垂直方向上,都呈現指數衰減的情況。因此我們企圖利用2MASS 資料,並把它分成K = 5–9 mag (主要為巨星組成的薄盤) 和 K = 11–14 mag (主要為矮星組成的薄盤)兩個光度範圍。並朝l = 180° (亦即反銀心方) 的方向去挑選星場,且計算從銀盤面到南北兩極的每個星場密度。假使厚盤密度的只有薄盤的百分之二,那我們的資料對於估計厚盤參數並不敏感。在K = 5–9 mag (巨星) 的亮星星場,因為星數太少,所以無法估計由巨星組成的薄盤,至於由矮星 (K = 11–14 mag)所組成的薄盤,在銀盤之北及之南的分布相當,且厚度135 ± 80 pc,徑向尺度為700 ± 500 pc。


    Abstract
    We apply star counting technique on the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) point-source catalog in an attempt to diagnose the disk structure of the Milky Way Galaxy. The analytical disk model includes two stellar components, a thin and a thick disk, both with doubly exponential distributions in radial and height directions. We present how the projected stellar densities for 2MASS sources from K = 5 to 9 mag (dominated by thin disk giants) and from K = 11 to 14 mag (dominated by thin disk dwarfs), vary from the Galactic Equator to the North Galactic Pole and to the South Galactic pole in Galactic longitude l = 180 degrees. Assuming a nominal 2% contribution from the thick disk relative to the thin disk, our data are not sensitive to the thick disk. Because of the low surface density in the K = 5 to 9 mag sample, we counted not set a firm constraint to the distribution of the thin disk giants. For thin disk dwarfs, our analysis yields a scale height of 135 ± 80 pc and with a radial scale length of 700 ± 500 pc.
